natural units
  یکاهای ِ زاستاری  
yekâhâ-ye zâstâri
Fr.: unités naturelles  

Physical units of measurement defined in terms of universal physical constants in such a manner that some chosen physical constants (e.g. the speed of light, Planck’s constant, Boltzmann’s constant, etc.) are equal to unity. The use of natural units allows these constants to be omitted from mathematical equations, leading to simpler calculations.
