Self-Contradictions from the Excessive Use of Natural Units ()
ABSTRACT
The
hypothesis c = h = G = 1 implies that
unit mass is not a single-valued function but rather has two widely varying
values, such as 7.4 × 10-51 kg and
4.0 × 1035 kg. Hence, the considerable body of work in theoretical
physics that uses this common convention must be deemed suspect. In order to
avoid this problem, theoreticians must limit themselves to c = h = 1 or,
exclusively, c = G = 1 depending upon whether they are chiefly concerned with atomic
physics or with gravity, respectively.
