Descartes, B. Spinoza, B. Riemann, and A. Einstein, or a (Machian (1-3) ) structured vacuum according the quantum theory of unitary fields (Dirac, (4,5) and Heisenberg (6-8) ). The atomistic aspect of the substantial world is represented by the fundamental constants which are invariant against "all transformations” and which "depend on nothings” (Planck (9-11) ). A satisfactory unitary theory has to involve these constants like the mathematical numbers. Today, Planck's conception of the three elementary constants ħ, c, and G may be the key to general relativistic quantum field theory like unitary theory. However, the elementary constants are a question of measurement-theory, also. According to Popper's theory (12-16) of induction, such unitary theories are "universal explaining theories.” The fundamental constants involve the complementarity between the universal statements in unitary theory and the "basic statements” in the language of classical observables.
