Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity links the metrical structure of the cosmic order (or ‘cosmology’) to the contingent distributions of matter and energy throughout the universe, one of the chief areas of investigation in astrophysics. However, presently we have neither devised nor discovered system of uniform relations whereby we can make our cosmological measurements intelligible. This is ‘the measurement problem of cosmology.’ Using both historical ideas (such as A.N. Whitehead’s work in the 1920s) and contemporary evidence and theories, argue that the measurement problem has neither been fully understood nor rightly interpreted. With better grasp of this problem, such as am attempting to provide, the prospects for solution look brighter.
