Scientists use SI units because they are a standardized system based on fundamental physical constants, making it easier to communicate and compare data across different fields of study. This consistency helps to avoid errors and confusion that can arise from using different units of measurement. Additionally, SI units are recognized globally, further enhancing their utility in scientific research and communication.
