Make measurements with uncertainty searchable #20

Closed bmatschke closed 3 years ago

bmatschke commented 3 years ago

E.g. numbers in https://www.numberdb.org/Mass_ratios are not yet stored in the postgres database. It makes sense to store them as real intervals (for simplicity of the data structures), until more functionality might be needed in the future. So far they are used only for the search. Question: How many times the standard uncertainty of the measurement will become the radius of the real interval? (The shorter, the easier it will be to find it in the search.)

Done, with radius of real ball as 1 standard uncertainty, to make it easier searchable.
