I Looking for a Comprehensive Explanation of Natural Units

AI Thread Summary
Natural units are a system of measurement that simplifies physical equations by setting fundamental constants to one. Users are seeking comprehensive resources that explain various versions of natural units, their applications, and provide practical examples. While some sources like "Natural System of Units in General Relativity" by Alan L. Myers and Wikipedia's "Natural Units" page offer useful information, they do not fully meet the demand for completeness and accuracy. The discussion emphasizes the need for a more thorough treatment of the topic without requiring rigorous mathematical detail. A well-rounded resource on natural units remains a sought-after asset for those interested in this area of physics.

TL;DR Summary
Would anyone know of a book or article that comprehensively explains Natural Units?
Would anyone know of a book or article that comprehensively explains Natural Units? I am looking for a document that explains all the versions of natural units and why, when, and how to use these units. I am looking for a source that provides many examples of how to use Natural Units. I found the following sources, e.g., (1) "Natural System of Units in General Relativity," by Alan L. Myers, (2) and those listed in the reference section of "Natural Units" on Wikipedia. These two sources are okay, but I am looking for a more comprehensive treatment. I am not looking for rigor, but I'll live with it. I am looking for completeness and accuracy.

I am afraid it does not reach the level of your requirement but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units with its notes, references and external links.
Thank You.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
