Qualitative vs. Quantitative forces

We all praise scientists. History says science progresses human society the longer we keep doing it. Scientists attribute the qualitative aspect of forces to its own identity and label it quantitative force. How? By measuring the world, piecing it and partialize it. Yes it is necessary to measure, scrutinize, and experiment. I would say it is necessary to measure the world to do anything. But it is how we proceed. Do we nihilistically strip the world down to it’s numeric essentials? Digital age is doing this by making everything binary, a one or a zero. Or do we flip to affirm human quality?
