There is no such thing as a "true constant."

Completely off topic, but never a truer word has been spoken. Even fundamental constants (Planck, Boltzmann, fine-structure etc) are updated every four years or so as measurements of things like the molar gas constant, avagodro's#, electron charge, etc improve. Or you use even more digits for pi (if you're using the magnetic permeability).

Anyway....
