That's a really good question. Just when we thought we knew, there goes another. There are theories like VSL which say that the speed of light changed in the earliest instants after the Big Bang. When we thought mass and distance were constant, along came special relativity. By the time we're done, I wouldn't be surprised to find the gravitational constant G a function of something else. Several of the 'constants' are derived from the speed of light, so if that changed, those 'constants' probably changed also.
