In physics, the fine-structure constant is a fundamental physical constant. Being a dimensionless quantity, it has constant numerical value in all systems of units equal to 1/137. The constant relates the speed of light (key to Einstein’s theory), plank constant (key to quantum mechanics) and the elementary charge and electric constant (key to electromagnetism). Why […]
