Paragraph:
Max Planck noted in 1899 the
existence of a system of units based
on the three fundamental constants G,
c, and h. These constants are
dimensionally independent in the
sense that no combination is
dimensionless and a length, a time,
and a mass may be constructed from
them. Specifically, with
ℏ ≡ = 1 .05 × 10
h –34 SI units in
2π

represented by ℓ , T , M p p p
