Overview

From wikipedia: > A physical constant, sometimes fundamental physical constant or universal constant, is a physical quantity that is > generally believed to be both universal in nature and have constant value in time. It is contrasted with a > mathematical constant, which has a fixed numerical value, but does not directly involve any physical > measurement.

Here is a link to examples of these types of "universal constants" https://cosmologist.info/teaching/Cosmology/Physical_constants.pdf
