Abstract
Electric constant believed fundamental constant determined only by physical measurement and cannot be calculated. A new theory about the origin and the essence of the electric constant is proposed and mathematical formulation is described. The vacuum is considered to be superfluid and the electric constant is described as a physical property of the “vacuum”. Hydrodynamics laws are applied to calculate the elasticity and the compressibility of the vacuum to obtain the electric constant value. Thus, electric permittivity is the expression of compressibility of the vacuum which is the capability of the vacuum to permit electric field lines. In conclusion, electric constant is not fundamental constant but observable parameter of the vacuum which depends mainly by the vacuum density. This result could have important consequences in our understanding the origin of physical forces forward Universal Unified Theory based on one constant only, the density of the vacuum.

Summary
A physical constant is a physical quantity that generally believed to be both universal in nature and constant in time. The classical behavior of the electromagnetic field described by Maxwell’s equations, which predict that the speed of light c with which electromagnetic waves (such as light) propagate through the vacuum is related to the electric constant ε0 and the magnetic constant μ0 by the equation c = 1 ε0μ0. According to this equation, the speed of the propagation of electromagnetic radiation, c, turns out to be dependent and inversely related to the values of the permittivity and the permeability of the medium. The analysis based on the following assumptions: 1) Vacuum filled with energy that has measurable density. 2) Hydrodynamic laws are applicable to superfluid vacuum. 3) The density of the vacuum is the only basic property that governs the compressibility and speed of light through the vacuum. 4) The compressibility is conserved momentum which depends on the speed of light and density of the vacuum
