Varying coupling constants and their interdependence

چکیده
Since Dirac predicted in 1937 the possible variation of gravitational constant and other coupling constants from his large number hypothesis, efforts continue to determine such without success. Such focus on one while assuming all others pegged their currently measured values. We show that variations speed light [Formula: see text], Planck Boltzmann text] are interrelated: text]. Thus, constraining any leads inadvertently others. It may not be a concurrently considering discuss several astrophysical observations have been explained recently with concomitant two or more constants. also analyze reported unexplained 35 text]g decrease 1 Kg Pt-Ir working standards over 22 years measurements they can accounted for by allowing vary as predicted, provided mass confirmed Kibble balance used determining weighing test-masses extreme precision.

Varying constants.
We review properties of theories for the variation of gravitation and fine structure 'constants'. We highlight some general features of the cosmological models that exist in these theories with reference to recent quasar data that are consistent with time variation in the fine structure constant since a redshift of 3.5. The behaviour of a simple class of varying-alpha cosmologies is outlined in...
متن کاملVarying Constants, Gravitation and Cosmology
Fundamental constants are a cornerstone of our physical laws. Any constant varying in space and/or time would reflect the existence of an almost massless field that couples to matter. This will induce a violation of the universality of free fall. Thus, it is of utmost importance for our understanding of gravity and of the domain of validity of general relativity to test for their constancy. We ...
متن کاملVarying G and Other Constants
We review recent progress in the study of varying constants and attempts to explain the observed values of the fundamental physical constants. We describe the variation of G in Newtonian and relativistic scalar-tensor gravity theories. We highlight the behaviour of the isotropic Friedmann solutions and consider some striking features of primordial black hole formation and evaporation if G varie...
متن کاملCosmology with varying constants.
The idea of possible time or space variations of the 'fundamental' constants of nature, although not new, is only now beginning to be actively considered by large numbers of researchers in the particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics communities. This revival is mostly due to the claims of possible detection of such variations, in various different contexts and by several groups. I present ...
متن کاملChaotic Coupling Constants
We examine some novel physical consequences of the general structure of moduli spaces of string vacua. These include (1) finiteness of the volume of the moduli space and (2) chaotic motion of the moduli in the early universe. To fix ideas we examine in detail the example of the (conjectural) dilaton-axion “S-duality” of four-dimensional string compactifications. The facts (1) and (2) together m...
