Abstract

We study the possible interpretation of the "universal constants" by the classification of J.~M.~L\'evy-Leblond. \hbar and cc are the most common example of constants of this type. Using Fock's principle of the relativity w.r.t. observation means, we show that both cc and \hbar can be viewed as manifestations of certain relativity. We also show that there is a possibility to interpret the Boltzmann's constant in a similar way, and make some comments about the relativistic interpretation of the constant spacetime curvature and gravitational constant GG.
