Author is confusing Mathematics with some subjective representations like using decimal vs another number base or the arbitrary 360 degrees in a circle, that by the way is not western, it comes from Egypt or some Middle-East culture, can't remember now (and we also use the non-arbitrary 2*pi angle), Math won't change by changing such representations. We have International System units and Imperial measurement units and science is the same regardless of what units you use. Other ideas of "space time" or whatever of some cultures, well, they need to be formalized and expressed properly so see if they have any real value beyond the verbal idea, that's how math and science works.
