∙ 8y agoIf they were working together on the same project and their units were not converted to match, the project would go wrong. This happened with some of NASA's Mars probes. That is why there are International Standards (ISO) units of measure agreed worldwide and it is foolish, in the modern world for professionals not to use them.

- SI units have been designed around easily related areas - e.g. a metre is defined in terms of a second (speed of light...)
- Metric units are more easily converted as they are in multiples of 10.
