By late next year, the plan is for every single unit but one, the candela, to be based on a fundamentalconstant of nature.
2
Some call these numbers fundamentalconstants; others call them fudge factors.
3
Fundamentalconstants are the closest we have to a universal language.
4
Scientists know of only a few fundamentalconstants.
5
Our existence therefore determines that the fundamentalconstants of physics had to be in their respective Goldilocks zones.
1
No more physical objects - a kilo will be calculated by reference to a physicalconstant known as Planck's constant or 'h'.
2
The ideal would be to match the kilogram to known physicalconstants.
3
An overdrive field changed the physicalconstants of space.
4
But its physicalconstants were the most surprising.
5
Physicalconstants are supposedly fixed over time, but some theories suggest they may vary slightly, he said.
6
Then I altered physicalconstants like gravity and friction so I could make it roll, walk, and bounce around.
7
Many primary forces influence events in the universe: physicalconstants, gravitational forces, the laws of thermodynamics, elemental interactions, quantum mechanics.
