Gravity, Fine-Structure Constant and Natural Units
Introduction
Since its introduction by Arnold Sommerfeld in 191, the Fine Structure Constant has been a mystery in the physics world. Physicist Robi Banerjee discusses the building blocks that govern how we measure the universe around us, how these link to the four fundamental constants of nature, and how these could possibly lead to the answers scientists have been contemplating for over a century.
