An ultraprecise new measurement has given some weird particle physics theories a black eye. By measuring one of nature’s most fundamental constants more precisely than before, scientists have tested ...

As given by Britain’s brilliant, opinionated Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, the seven fundamental constants of Nature are: e, the charge of an electron; m, the mass of an electron (at rest); M, the ...

Some things never change. physicists call them the constants of nature. Such quantities as the velocity of light, c, Newton’s constant of gravitation, G, and the mass of the electron, m e, are assumed ...

In physics, there are a host of standard constants: the speed of light, the charge-to-mass ratio of the proton, and Planck's constant, to name just a few. Repeated measurements going back a few ...
