Trade. If there were no standard units then you would have to learn which vendors used which units of measure. Perhaps you could take along some weight with you and say give me this much meat/potatoes etc. Buying liquids from one vendor might be $5/container but it's only $4/container somewhere else but are the containers the same size. Every city would have different units. Buying quantities of anything would be time consuming as you tried to figure out what quantity you were getting today.
Standard units came about for this reason. Trade between merchants, towns, farmers knew how much they were being paid for how much product. Initially these measures were still very much linked to individual cities or countries. Now measurements are generally well known and verifiable.
*No investigator could repeat, or evaluate or critique, the work of any other.
*There would be no way to check the value or accuracy of any scientist's work, and therefore no way to build on it or add to it.
*Actually, no scientist could accomplish much even by himself, because he could never evaluate the results of his own work. He could play around in his lab all he wanted, and would never know whether he had anything worth reporting.
*It's doubtful whether we would be out of caves yet.
while measuring anything; we actually see that the " to be measured thing is how many times the reference one"
so if there is no standard units i.e reference units ..there will be no measurement.
examples of problem that may arise if standard units are not used
There should be no insurmountable difficulties. Countries which have lower levels of educational achievement successfully adopted the metric system!

No problem at all, just as long as you take the trouble to verify that you and all ofthe possible objects of your communication are using the same system of units.
It is the International Standard of units.
Standard units are more commonly used than non standard units. Also, many of the conversion factors, such as the Universal Gravitational Constant or the Speed of Light, are in standard units and, if your measurements were not in appropriate units, you would need to convert.
I am not sure what is a measurement standard is?
it will make us be difficult......
it will be difficult and more confusions and complications will occur...

If SI units are not used, there may be confusion and inconsistency in measurements, leading to errors in calculations and data analysis. This can impede communication between scientists and researchers across different fields. Additionally, not using SI units can hinder standardization and comparability of results in scientific studies.
2.Cause confusion and disagreement among people that are using different units of measurement. E.g. one people use arm span to measure a length of a cloth and another is using metre(m) so there will confusing and misunderstanding between them. 3.Some of the problems that may arise if Standard International (SI) units are not used include conflict or discrepancies in data collection since there is no standard measurement, conflicting results amongst the various research personalities as well as inaccurate representation. These are basically the derived units that are mostly expressed in terms of the base units.
I want to know bookscrap about problems that may arise when using the unit of measurement is not the same .
1.If you use units of measurement that aren't standard, you may end up with a meaningless result, or a result that no one else would understand. E.g. If your watch ticks at 47 times per minute and you use your watch to time something, your result would be pretty useless to someone whose watch ticks at the (SI) 60 times per minute.2.Cause confusion and disagreement among people that are using different units of measurement.

It would no longer be possible to understand or compare results obtained by different scientists.

Yes you could. Look at metric and imperial measurement units, consider Roman units and the unit used by the Chinese empire as alternative units of measurement.
