Almost all scientist use the metric, or SI, system. Those who don't are in an ever decreasing minority. +++ Not just scientists. The metric, or more importantly its SI derivative, is now the ONLY officially and internationally-recognised system for science, engineering and commerce. America is now the only major nation not to have adopted it generally, except in science.
Switching to the metric system in the US could initially create confusion and require re-education of the population. It may also involve significant costs to modify infrastructure, tools, and systems that currently use the imperial system. Additionally, there may be resistance from some individuals or industries who are familiar with the imperial system.

The Metric System was created after the French Revolution. After the French Revolution, almost everything changed. And since France spread to control almost all of Western Europe, the Metric System spread. It then spread all over the world due to imperialism and influence.
