摘要
The natural units of measure lauded by Max Planck more than 100 years ago are underutilized today. Many physical constants, including the Planck constant, the gravitational constant, the speed of light, vacuum permittivity, and vacuum permeability consist of natural units in their unit dimensions. The natural units are present in all formulas containing these constants. The defining characteristic of the natural units is an alignment of unit values at the Planck scale. This alignment gives a computational basis of proportionality from which the correlated properties and dynamics of elementary particles, including wavelength, period, mass, momentum, and energy, manifest in equal or inversely proportional ratios of the Planck scale. These correlations explain many of the defining equations of quantum mechanics, classical gravity, and electromagnetism.
