What does the phrase "the tipping point" mean and is it measurable?

It's the point where dramatic change occurs... and yes, it is measurable depending on the thing itself. Like for example, if crime rates decreased dramatically "suddenly" then the reason for this would be the tipping point and measuring the previous and after rates is the evidence.

I don't know the answer, but it's a good point.

Thats a common misconception. \n limit x tends to 0,    5/x is infinity\nbut tends to 0 is not that x is equal to 0.It means x is almost 0(you are moving towards 0) but not 0.\nU cannot divide bu 0,its a undefined proposition.

what is the indicater?

often it refers to the controllable factors. It could mean that other possible influences on the research have been accounted for.

Well goal setting is self explanatory, prescriptive means things you have to do. so id say it refers to a regime which has definitive targets yet does not require people to obey certain elements required to reach said targets.

"When" is not a question- rather an assertation of the eventuality of all things.  As all things are in constant change; eventually, all things become all things.  There is no "if", only "when".\n\nFurther, "now", is the essence of this very moment.  Just as an object can either be precisely measured in space or velocity- but not both- so is the everchanging world around us measurable only in the moment.  "Now" is synonymous, therefore, with "what".\n\nSince all things in their eventuality are the same, and yet immeasurable when removed from their essence, and all things measured are themselves momentary, so too are all things when, all things if, all things now, and all things what.  The world defies our attempts to measure it, and escapes our understanding as soon as we require it.

in my opinion it means\nyou think it is a small thing, but, in fact it is a huge thing\ni don't know the nature of what is being talked about, but to me, that is what IT is saying

I guess Bush decided to make the American people pay in order for his family to prosper, so instead of paying $$$ to Saddam for oil, he sent soldiers to bring it to him for free. So the "tipping point" is a decision for "changing the way of acquiring oil".

Expanding on the above response on the Pareto principle, you can also demonstrate fractals, e.g. if 80% of the sales come from 20% of the customers, 80% of the sales from those 20% will come from 20% of those 80% assuming a large enough set.  Confusing?  I love fractals and think your question is awesome.

What does the evidence say?

It's Latin.  I believe it means "salient point" which, in more simple terms would be "key argument".

Well, hypothesis is a possible prediction made from your observation.\n\nWish you all the best!

I'm not exactly sure, so this is a shot in the dark.\n\nFrom what I understand, a watershed moment is typically a business term used to describe the begining of a highly profitable time.

Please define what it is you mean by "probing."

I agree with previous answers that say the meat of the question should lie in the definition of measure... but the question posed asks about "mesure"? What is that? If we are supposed to use measure to answer the question, I don't think it is possible. Though one can set up a triangle whose hypotenuse is radical 2 over two or a circle of circumference pi, this is not the same as measuring it. To accurately measure, one needs to go to amount of decimal places to get the maximum number of significant figures. Since this would never happen with an irrational number, I think it would be immeasurable. It all depends on the definition of measurable however, and even my crazy take on the question could be debated...
