The Origin and Geometry of the Fine-Structure Constant

Gerald W. Scanlon
4.9/5 (13340 ratings)
Description:The fine-structure constant, denoted by the Greek letter α (alpha), determines the strength of the electromagnetic force, and is central in explaining a number of phenomena including the interactions between light and charged elementary particles such as electrons. It is an important part of the equations of the Standard Model, a theory that predicts and describes all the known fundamental forces other than gravity—namely electromagnetism as well as the weak and strong nuclear forces. A team in Paris recently measured the value of the fine-structure constant as 1/137.035999206.In this book, the author shows alpha’s particular value can be derived from simple geometrical structures. He first designs them by using multiples of 8 raised to the powers of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Next, he uses the geometrical structures and the alluring number 137 to write a mathematical formula and calculates 1/α to be 137.0360354. Finally, he shows various ways 137 can be expressed (e.g., natural number, prime number) and its crucial role in the design of the geometrical structures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
