Now if you say that a mathematical constant are things like Phi, Pi, the Fibonnaci sequence etc then these also apply in the physical realm, of course.

Those numbers seem to come from our natures sequences, so i can see how they can be physical constants, but i still argue some of them like the fibonacci sequence. How can it be a true physical sequence if not all things that it is supposed to represent follow it; for example Pi applies to every circle and phi occurs in every decagon inscribed into one, but fibonachi sequence does not apply to all spirals or all squares, not to say that fibonacci wasnt a great mathematician, who dicovered a sequence that some of nature seems to follow?
Other constants:
Euler-Mascheroni constant - limits difference between all harmonic series and natural logarithms
Feigenbaum constant - every chaotic system of all one-dimensional maps displaying a single hump will bifurcate at the same rate
and there are others see:
