When understanding SI units, one tends to think of kilograms, meters, and seconds. The fundamental constants of nature e, h, c, and G, however, allow for the comprehension of a more fundamental scale of dimension. By rescaling with the fine structure constant and units that are made from the fundamental constants of nature, one can get a better idea of the values, ratios, and expressions found in the universe. Of course, there is a lot to say about rethinking of physics entirely, focusing on spin networks, affine topology, and Calabi-Yau manifolds, but the basic ratio of the fine structure constant and the Planck-Wheeler units that rescale the things we know in everyday physics will lead to a better way of thinking. Imagine a hydrogen atom rescaled in Planck units. Imagine the galactic arms rescaled with c. Imagine the values of nuclear binding energies rescaled as well.
The point is, we have to think of fundamental ratios from constants of nature, rather than abstract human constructions. These values will lead to a more intuitive understanding of physical processes and better physics.
