Title: Interpretation of the Fine Structure Constant Based on a Time Scale Transformation
Abstract: In this article, the meaning of the fine structure constant is explained by using a novel time scale transformation method. The method is a mathematical transformation between physical quantities that enables us to express them in terms of seconds or exponentials of seconds and also provides a consistent new unit system which eliminates some of the universal constants including the gravitational constant, Coulomb’s constant, Boltzmann’s constant and the speed of light. It is a network of relations between fundamental quantities. Following the introduction of the method, it is demonstrated that the fine structure constant is a transition probability value that corresponds to 8,856 x 10^41 Newton electrostatic force between two electrons 1 Planck’s length apart from each other. Finally, other implications of the method (elimination of universal constants, quantity classification in time scale) and its physical meaning are discussed.
