F A O Claretgold......the Importance Of 137.....
Your input on the FTL thread has encoraged me to ask if you can perhaps enhance my understanding of the importance of the famous 137 (actually 137.04 2dps), often touted as the most magical number in the universe. Now I know it's reciprocal is some sort ratio to do with atomic interactions with the EM force but how was it arived at? Is there an everyday example of its use that helps understanding? Anything you feel relevant most welcome, no rush.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There is no evidence at all to suggest that the fine structure constant bears any meaningful relationship to 137. It could just be a coincidence.
However there are other integers that do bear special relationships that cause odd combinations of irrarional numbers to resolve very close to integers.
They are related to the Golden Ratio.
