Can evil be scientifically quantified as to what it really is?

In this question, as well as other threads, evil is tossed in, and batted about. In an isolated construct, what is evil? Evil can be accurately measured, like temperature, wind speed, etc, if no humans are harmed can it still be evil, and if so, how so? So long as no one was harmed why would sports hunting, greed, gambling, etc be evil or even remotely seen as evil? For evil to be evil, what qualifying traits, or benchmarks does it need to meet? Who gets to be the authoritarian body to validate evil to make it evil an ”official evil”?

attack the question purely scientific, only off facts or something you can accurately measure on a scale like wind speed, weight, Ohms, BTUs, etc, no connection to deities, entities, theologies, etc
