Jan 21, 2022 at 18:37 comment added Alexander @DKNguyen for the purpose of this question, assume that Traveler had been preparing for this trip and has very good memory for numbers. However, different gravity was an unexpected factor which affected his ability to recreate SI units with 1% or better accuracy.
Jan 21, 2022 at 18:31 comment added DKNguyen What blue prints? Does a "good amount of knowledge" include physical resources like books and not just what is in his memory? Because that runs contrary to "could not bring any material object with him". There's an inconsistency there.
Jan 21, 2022 at 17:46 comment added Alexander @DKNguyen two reasons - all Earth-based blueprints are based on SI units (well, some based on Imperial units, but that's still an issue), and also the issue of different gravity which may affect the very applicability of these blueprints. First reason can be ignored (as Nephanth suggested), but the second one would need to be addressed, sooner or later.

Jan 21, 2022 at 15:49 comment added DKNguyen For what purpose? There's little point to recreating standard units from somewhere else when they aren't standard.
