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 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
