“Time Variation of a Fundamental Dimensionless Constant”, 2009-03-30 ():
We examine the time variation of a previously-uninvestigated fundamental dimensionless constant [π]. Constraints are placed on this time variation using historical measurements.
A model is presented for the time variation, and it is shown to lead to an accelerated expansion for the universe.
Directions for future research are discussed.
