The Cubic Grid of the Universe at the Planck Length Scale – Part 5: The 1/137 Constant

This fifth part of the work focuses on one of the deepest puzzles in modern physics—the origin of the dimensionless fine-structure constant (alpha ≈ 1/137). Within the context of the proposed model, a hypothesis is presented that this fundamental constant is not an accidental parameter of nature, but rather a direct consequence of the pure geometry of the spacetime lattice at the Planck scale.

Abstract

This fifth part of the work focuses on one of the deepest puzzles in modern physics—the origin of the dimensionless fine-structure constant (alpha ≈ 1/137). Within the context of the proposed model, a hypothesis is presented that this fundamental constant is not an accidental parameter of nature, but rather a direct consequence of the pure geometry of the spacetime lattice at the Planck scale.
