What is your favorite physical constant?

atm I'm digging the gravitational constant G=-6.673x10^-11 but plank's constant <em>h</em> is pretty cool too.

This may be hard to fathom, but I don't have a favorite physical constant.

isnt Constance the Badger from the Redwall series?
i will go for the amount of atoms making up a mole:
the Avogadro Constant: 6.02 x10 to the 23
thats 602000000000000000000000 atoms :up:

6.626 068 96(33) × 10-34 J·s

Which, coincidently enough, is the Planck's constant that Rubah mentioned. I didn't even read that part of her post. Hehe.

wut?
i dun hav 1. i proly sond dum huh?

I don't actually know what you're talking about.

boo taking planck's constant. It's like having a cool contest and choosing the coolest thing to win automatically.

Planck length : 1.6 × 10−35 metres

I like it because anything smaller is causally meaningless.

I am without a favourite physical constant.

She is from redwall. I haven't even read any of that series in years :O

I'm surprised none of you have mentioned the specific gravity of gold or water! those are pretty cool

If E=MCsquared........then where do jelly babies come from?

wow...i got really excited when i saw this title...constance was like my favorite character...

Idk i suppose the constant from the Ideal gas law (r) for some reason i can't remember the value... i think it was .0821 though...

I'm boring and have always like the Boltzmann Constant if only for the name. 1.380 6505(24) × 10-23 J·K-1 innit. Everyone likes thermodynamics, right?

I've always hated thermodynamics.

I am preferential towards the elementary charge, 1.602176487x10^-19 C (it's negative for an electron, positive for a proton). Everyone likes electrostatics, right?

I also care for the atomic mass unit, 1.66053886x10^-27 kg.

your mom is my favorite physical constant, rubah weapon.

I dislike them all, but thats probably because i cant remember the damn things. Especially the ones with 10^ signs

8.206 * 10^-2, the ideal gas constant, in the units of (L*atm)/(mol*K).

yeah who needs the ideal gas constant in anything but atmospheres? Easier to remember all the atm-> pas/kpas/torr/mmhg imho!

We used atm in my Chem class more often than torr or mmHg. What was it, 766?

I have to deal with pascals in Physics enough as it is.

EDIT: It's 760. I was wrong.
