Ever wonder why constants like 'c' or 'G' have such specific, weird values? It's not deep cosmic magic! Our everyday units (meters, kg, seconds) are arbitrary human inventions that don't inherently match nature's true proportions. Physical constants are simply the crucial scaling factors that harmonize our man-made SI units with the universe's actual way of working. That's why they "vanish" (become 1) in "natural" unit systems – the scaling job is then done by the unit definition itself!

@BathysphereHat - Bucky Fuller posed a fascinating question once: where does God round off pi when he's making a bubble? Miss you Bucky!

Hello again.

After a long break I come back to learn new languages.

I've started to learn #elixir . For this way I will use "Elixir in Action" book and #codewars .

I will share news on #mastodon and on #github , may be I can find people who interested in learning new languages too.

https://github.com/DanteOnline/blog-posts/tree/main/learning-elixir/elixir-in-action-book - this is first code from the book.

Today I learned about #modules, #functions, #iex (elixir shell), #Constants

Happy coding
