It is rarely possible to measure anything with 100% precision, to the very last possible decimal place. We measure as accurately as we can, and we understand that the result is an estimation.
If the appropriate tool is not available, a scientist may explore alternative methods or techniques to make the measurement. They may seek assistance from colleagues or collaborators with access to the necessary tools or equipment. In some cases, the scientist may need to postpone the measurement until the tool can be acquired or made available.
The scientist who is credited with discovering the SI (International System of Units) is Gabriel Mouton, a French clergyman and mathematician. He proposed the system in 1670. The SI system is now the most widely used system of measurement worldwide.
A scientist can improve the accuracy of an experiment by carefully designing the study, ensuring precise measurement techniques, reducing errors through proper controls, replicating the experiment to check results consistency, and analyzing data rigorously to draw reliable conclusions.
The closeness to the actual value is called the accuracy. The reproducibility of the measurement is call the precision.
Scientists generally use the International System of Units (SI) as their standard for measurement. This system includes units such as meters for length, kilograms for mass, and seconds for time. However, in specialized fields or historical contexts, different units of measurement may be used.

when one scientist tells another scientist that something is certain length, that measurement should mean the some thing to both of them.
Scientist use the metric system. All science in the metric system.

A point of reference from which measurements or estimates may be made is often called a benchmark
its a measurement of cycles per second of sound or other waves and Hertz is the scientist who invented the scale of measurement
Scientist often rely the math skill of estimates when they cannot find the exact number.
If each scientist used a different system of measurement and invented their own tools of measurement, it would lead to confusion, inconsistencies, and lack of standardization in the scientific community. This would make it difficult to replicate experiments, compare results, and build upon each other's work. It would hinder progress and advancements in science.
