Fundamental physical constant (disambiguation)

Fundamental physical constant (disambiguation)

* In physics, fundamental or dimensionless physical constants are, in the strictest sense, physical constants that are independent of systems of units and hence are dimensionless numbers.

* In a broader sense, the phrase fundamental physical constant may be used (for example, by NIST) to refer to any dimensioned universal physical constant, such as the gravitational constant.
