Magic Number Explosion

Hardcoded Numbers EVERYWHERE?! Python Magic Number Hell! 🔢

Why use constants when you can hardcode values everywhere? This code is unmaintainable!

🚫 What NOT to do:
• Hardcoded magic numbers
• No named constants
• Unclear number meanings

✅ The right way: Use named constants or enums

Readable code uses names! This Code Crimes shows why constants matter.

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!
