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.
With the basic idea in place, I started out searching out if there is a already thought out solution for this, and there is, thanks to google and wiki.
Well this might be old wine for any phsyics grad, well physics is not my area of expertise, but I did feel happy.
When we meet an alien race, we need to say we have the same constants. (and not we have the same god) :)
