```
public final class Constants
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class provides most accurate physical constants measurement; the more accurate the constants, the higher the precision of the calculations making use of these constants.

Constant names use the full range of Unicode characters and are mixed uppercase/lowercase to resemble symbolic names as much as possible

Reference: CODATA Internationally recommended values of the Fundamental Physical Constants (2002)
