| 21. | The value of those wavelengths, in turn, is directly related to the value of the fine structure constant.
|
| 22. | In 1999, evidence for time variability of the fine structure constant based on observation of quasars was announced.
|
| 23. | In the late 1930s, the best experimental value of the fine-structure constant, ?, was approximately 1 / 136.
|
| 24. | Although confirmed experimentally, the measurement is not precise enough to improve on other techniques for determining the fine-structure constant.
|
| 25. | For example, no candidate theory is able to calculate the fine structure constant or the mass of the electron.
|
| 26. | The eight Gell-Mann matrices ( see article for them and the structure constants ) are important for quantum chromodynamics.
|
| 27. | Arthur Eddington argued that the fine structure constant was a unit fraction, first 1 / 136 then 1 / 137.
|
| 28. | That is to say, the fine-structure constant shows the electron traveling at nearly 1 / 137 the speed of light.
|
| 29. | In particular any nilpotent Lie algebra with irrational structure constants is an example of an unimodular group without a lattice.
|
| 30. | Lava flow terminations appear as subvertical cliffs up to in height, which are structures constant with eruptions against glacial ice.
