It's rather as there's a physical constant.
It's 1.0. In natural units, it's infinity.

I don't like this 'c=1 thing', because 1 is a natural number, while
speed/velocity have physical dimensions with v = dx/dt.
Because time and distance are not measured with the same units, c had to
have units.
You really need to work on your misunderstandings about units and
dimensions.
In particular, physical quantities do not -have- a dimension.
Conversely dimension is not a property of physical quantity.
You cannot measure a dimension.
Dimensions are human constructs that can be assigned arbitrarily,
limited only by the need to be consistent about it.
You cannot deduce anything from a clash of dimensions
beyond the undeniable fact that you have made a mistake.
Now 1 has no units whatsoever (because it is just a number) you cannot
say, that c is one.
Of course you can, and people (who know better than you)
do it all the time.
