The Meaning Of A Precise Dimensionless Fundamental Physical Constant

March 31st, 2008 by admin

The development of 20th Century physics was intimately interconnected with the ramifications of what constitutes a physical constant or fundamental parameter. Which was first immortalized in Einstein’s special relativity as an invariant constant c = the speed of light. As velocity measures length L divided by time T, c represents a metric or ‘dimensional constant,’ as is mass M or any combination of these quantities. Yet when the SI metric system was formally adopted (firmly replacing the CGS system), c had acquired new meaning as a defined constant equal to a precise integer 299,792,458 represented in meters per second. However, as explained by Wikipedia (browse ‘physical constant’), the distinction between a ‘pure’ or ‘dimensionless number’ in mathematics and physics is that the speed of light had to be measured since no theory can predict it, so still would have to be empirically confirmed.

“Maybe he was a pattern maker”. Alexander, my oldest son, is an engineer and was looking at the collection of gouge chisels as I put their tray back in the chest. I was wondering why Mr Wake had so many gouge chisels and whether that was a clue to his job.

All the tools in this chest are marked “C Wake” but I know nothing else about him, except for what I can guess from the chest and its contents.
