Abstract

And, an alternate theory to QED (classical Continuum Mechanics based) suggests a variable FSC, given by the equation:

1/FSC = 2 SQRT (3/k) * (2Pi*MMA)2

Where MMA is the Magnetic Moment Anomaly (1.001165923) and k is the dielectric constant of the bulk material in which its measurement is made.  With air, k ~= 1.0006, thus we get 137.03523, accurate to 0.0005%.  The remaining inaccuracy can be attributed to that of the measurement of k...
