c = h = epilon_0 = k_b = 1 (Unit Systems)

[Note: c is speed of light, h is Plancks constant and k_b is Boltzmanns
constant]

Another modern unit system would be possible. By adjusting the units for
distance, the unit for energy, the unit for charge and the unit for
temperature, it would be possible to somehow siplifiy the units in physics.

Someday this will come (I'm sure), but so far this 'modern system' would
probably be to confusing for most people. -But it's still an interesting
issue, I think...

Should we introduce a new unit system someday? -Then we can use c=1 in all
problems in relativity, and again other and simpler units in most areas of
physics. -After all, the four areas of units mentioned in this posting are
defined more or less random. -Could 's', 's^-1' and electron-units instead
of Coloumb be usefull? -And could the unit for temperature simply be
converted to units of energy?

Probably units of 'second^-1' (energy or frequency) for temperature would be
to confusing to most people. But as the understanding of the science of
pysics is developing, someday such things will probably come.

-That's just my opinion...
