Instead of blindly following Saudi Arabia, use scientific method for moon-sighting

Why do Muslims in USA, UK, Australia and other countries start their Ramzan based on Saudi moon calendar but keep their fasts based on local sun schedule? Can we put a stop to the self-created Deobandi-Barelvi, Shia-Sunni, Pashtun-Punjabi conflict in the name of moon-sighting in Pakistan, UK, USA and other countries? The dates of Ramadan and other Islamic months depend on the [local] sighting of the new crescent Moon. Can we put a stop to the Saudi-ization of Eid and Ramazan in Pakistan and elsewhere? Why can’t Muslims in Pakistan and other countries use modern technology to ascertain the visibility of crescent with naked eye or with telescope. Why do Muslims in USA, UK, Australia and other countries start their Ramzan based on Saudi moon calendar but keep their fasts based on local sun schedule?
