What would happen if all scientist use different systems of measurement to record there data?

Answer 1

One of the requirements of science is reproducibility: it must be possible for other scientists to reproduce the results of the experiment. You could not have that if they all used different measurement systems.

Answer 2

No investigator could repeat, 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 so 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 to, he'd never know whether he had anything worth publishing,

and if he published anything, nobody else could get a feel for what it meant.

It's doubtful that we would be too far out of caves yet.

Answer 3

Each scientist might have a different idea of how much time to wait or how big something was. It would be possible to replicate experiments done by other scientists.

Answer 4

what would happen if they were no measurements

Answer 5

The result would be a big mess and misunderstanding.
Therefore, all states must adopt SI.

Answer 6

In that case, scientists would need to convert back and forth all the time, have much more trouble even for fairly basic stuff, and have the possibility of confusion.
