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.
6
I don't remember exactly-somethingabout combining the three fundamentalconstants of physics-gravity ,Planck'sconstant, and the speed of light.
7
The size of an atom is determined by a collection of fundamentalconstants and is not open to adjustment.
8
But if true, it must mean that at least one of the three fundamentalconstants that constitute it must vary.
9
The demiurge sits at his teletype, pounding out one command line after another, specifying the values of fundamentalconstants of physics:
10
And scientists are now working on re-standardizing four more units-theampere, Kelvin, kilogram, and mole-bymeasuring fundamentalconstants more precisely than ever before.
11
As noted earlier, many philosophers marvel that the universe seems fine-tuned to produce life because certain fundamentalconstants have a "perfect" value.
