Abstract
We consider fundamental physical constants that are among a few of the most important pieces of information we have learned about Nature after intensive centuries-long study. We discuss their multifunctional role in modern physics including problems related to the art of measurement, natural and practical units, the origin of the constants, their possible calculability and variability, etc.PACS Nos.: 06.02.Jr, 06.02.FnKeywords
