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

Not universal
Universal indicator is just that - an indicator. It is not intended as an accurate measurement system.
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.
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.
The system of measurement based on referents in nature and not human body parts is the metric system. This system uses universal constants such as the speed of light or the mass of an atom to define units of measurement like the meter or the kilogram.
Because it is best. It is easiest (if you use a base ten counting system) to convert and compare.
While the metric system is widely used and considered the universal system of measurement, some countries, like the United States, still use the English system due to historical reasons and tradition. Transitioning to the metric system can be a slow and costly process, requiring changes in infrastructure, education, and industry practices. Additionally, there may be resistance from individuals and industries comfortable with the English system.
The measurement is milimeters and in meters only.
The common system of measurement in the US is the Imperial system. There was a bill for metrification of measurements that was passed by Congress, but it does not dictate how long the process should take.
