The Fine-structure constant and the Shrinking Matter Theory

          4 ) The Fine-structure constant and the Shrinking Matter Theory

The fine-structure constant “α” is a dimensionless value, but it reflects the relationship between the electromagnetic coupling constant ‘e” and ”Ԑₒ”, “h”, and “c”.

e = (2 α Ԑₒ h c) ^ (1/2)   or   e² = 2 α Ԑₒ h c

As c is constant, result Ԑₒ is also constant, then α should vary with the inverse of the rate of h.

Rewriting the expression we have:

α = e² / (2 Ԑₒ c h), and

α(o) = e² / (2 Ԑₒ c h(o) ) =>

α(f) = e² / (2 Ԑₒ c h(f) ) =>

α(f) = e² / (2 Ԑₒ c h(o) (Kh))

Then α(f) = α(o) / Kh 

Or  α(f) = α(o)  / ( (1+Z)^(1/3) )

α(o)  =  0,007 297 352 5698(24)

(o): our local frame

(f): distant reference frame

Z : redshift

Kh: scaling factor of the constant Planck h as a function of Z

“However, if multiple coupling constants are allowed to vary simultaneously, not just α, then in fact almost all combinations of values support a form of stellar fusion.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant
