Constants aren't so constant [SOLVED]
The physical constants that can be accessed in the Prime, fall mainly into two categories: constants with an exact value (like "c" - the speed oh light), and constants whose values depend on the current state of the art measurements (like "G" - the gravitation constant).

The internationally recommended values are recorded by CODATA (Committee on Data for Science and Technology). These constants can also be browsed at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

As long as I've seen, the values stored in the Prime agree exactly with the values given in 2010 by CODATA (for example, G=6.67384E-11).

Today these values are dated, because a new set of values was stablished in 2014 (for example, te current value for G is: 6.67408E-11).

Given the above, I propose to HP considering the update of these values in a future firmware release.
