The fine structure constant and the speed of light
Bicknell, Geoffrey V; Scott, Susan M
Description
Recently, Davies, Davis and Lineweaver have concluded that a possible detection of a cosmological variation in the fine structure constant, a = e[superscript 2] /ħc (where e is the electronic charge, ħ is the reduced Planck constant and c is the speed of light) implies that the speed of light decreases as the Universe expands. In examining the two competing reasons for the variation of this fundamental parameter – an increase in the electronic charge or a decrease in the speed of light – they...[Show more]
