A Geometrical Determination of the Fine-Structure Constant by Gerald W. Scanlon
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: Does the universe around us have a fundamental structure that can be glimpsed through special numbers?
The brilliant physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) famously thought so, saying there is a number that all theoretical physicists of worth should worry about. He called it one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics. He said it is a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man.
That magic number, called the fine-structure constant, is a fundamental constant, with a value which nearly equals 1/137 or to be precise is currently calculated to be 1/137.035999206. It is denoted by the Greek letter alpha α.
