Science: Constant Uproar

As given by Britain's brilliant, opinionated Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, the seven fundamental constants of Nature are:

e, the charge of an electron;

m, the mass of an electron (at rest);

M, the mass of a proton (at rest);

h, Planck's constant (of atomic action) ;

c, the velocity of light;

G, the constant of gravitation;

λ ,the cosmical constant (of large-scale repulsion).

The first four constants are fundamental to Quantum Mechanics, which deals with the microcosm of the atom. The last two are fundamental to four-dimensional spacetime, which deals with the macrocosm of the universe....
