Astrophysics, Clocks and Fundamental Constants

Astrophysics, Clocks and Fundamental Constants edited by Savely G. Karshenboim, Ekkehard Peik.

In 1937 the question of a possible temporal variation of the fundamental constants was raised by Paul Dirac in his "large number hypothesis." Today it appears in the context of the search for a unified theory of the fundamental interactions. It touches both fundamental and applied physics,...
