The c=h/=G=1 - question

General Physics 2011-01-26 v1 Classical Physics Quantum Physics

Abstract

The question whether the invariant speed c, Planck constant h/, and gravitational constant G can be or should be put equal to 1 is analyzed. The discussion is based on fundamental considerations concerning the notion of physical quantity. It is found that the issue is not a matter of appropriate unit selection. Further it is shown that classical space-time geometry and quantum mechanics can be formulated in such a way that the invariant speed and the action quantum are truly one and do not have to be set equal to one.
