The metric system
Given that only Liberia and Burma officially share the US measurement system, it can hardly be described as universal!

Because the need for measurement is universal and it developed in different ways in primitive cultures. It is only later, with interregional, and then international trade that there was a need for a single system.
Because it is best. It is easiest (if you use a base ten counting system) to convert and compare.
The International System of Units (SI) is the universal system of measurement used by scientists worldwide. It provides a consistent framework for measuring quantities such as length, mass, time, and temperature, ensuring clarity and accuracy in scientific communication and research.

Universal indicator is just that - an indicator. It is not intended as an accurate measurement system.

Scientific method
The system of measurement widely used in the US but not by the scientific community is the US customary units, which includes measurements like inches, feet, and pounds. The scientific community primarily uses the metric system for its consistency and ease of conversion between units.
