The universal constant

I am working on an inhouse simulator (for my love of physics), and it sparked a though in me, why are our constants complex.

Well Newton knew that two bodies atrracted each other with a force that was proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

So F(G) ~ M1xM2/(R^2)

or F(G) = GxM1xM2/(R^2) where G is 6.67259 x 10-11 N * m2 / kg2.

The idea is simple, put G=1, and change the way we measure weight and distance.

Or in E=mc2, put the value of c =1, and start changing the way we measure distance and time.
