Abstract

Today’s Physics has acquired Constants, but it is interesting to study how these Constants were forged and what uses they have in the tool bag of Quantum Mechanical.

We show that physicists have been misled for a century by not having understood the meaning of this coefficient, and have lost their time in useless, even scabrous, speculations.

Résumé

Les Physiciens d’aujourd’hui utilisent quelques Constantes et il est intéressant d’étudier comment ces Constantes ont été forgées et quel usage elles ont dans leur boite à outils.

Nous montrons que de n’avoir pas compris la signification de ce coefficient, les Physiciens se sont fourvoyés depuis un siècle dans des spéculations inutiles, voire scabreuses.
