On the Origin of Natural Constants : Axiomatic Ideas with References to the Measurable Reality /
Just as the circle number π or the Euler constant e determines mathematics, fundamental constants of nature define the scales of the natural sciences. This book presents a new perspective by means of a few axioms and compares the resulting validity with experimental data. By the axiomatic approach S...
