A few more riddles

1 - Until I am measured, I am not known, yet how you miss me when I have flown.

2 - I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some.

3 - Who makes it has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it has no knowledge of it.

4 - I am always hungry, I must be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn red.

Nah, I think I got more. I have a hypothesis that eventually the same code will work itself into the answer.

The string numbers ever so often, pieced together will repeat in larger sequences.

I always had a scary thought that eventually they would get far enough to see the pattern and it would turn out to be an address in burbank or something like that.

It could be so many things: wind, heat, hunger, sound and some electromagnetic waves out of the visible spectrum. I mean, is so common the pattern of something invisible but tangible.

Ah, but they can be TESTED, so they are not really invisible.

As far as I can tell, invisible is something that cannot be seen, but this does not rule out that they can be measured or perceived by other means.

You may be right on the definition there. What would it be if it's not visible, but it's effects or it's existance are testable or verifiable?

My brain must be on the blink, I know there's probably a word for that.
