Better: c=1, h/2pi=1, 8piG=1. This last is, of course, for the same
reason as the first two: to make the fundamental equations of physics
simpler (as we know them today).

        Some prefer G=1 for the third.

These units have stood the test of time, and have been used for many
decades by most theoretical physicists.
