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!
