Time variation of a fundamental dimensionless constant

TL;DR

This paper investigates the potential time variation of a fundamental dimensionless constant, using historical data to constrain its change and proposing a model linking it to cosmic acceleration.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of a previously unstudied constant's time variation and presents a model connecting this variation to the universe's accelerated expansion.

Findings

Constraints on the constant's variation from historical data

A model linking constant variation to cosmic acceleration

Discussion of future research directions

Abstract

We examine the time variation of a previously-uninvestigated fundamental dimensionless constant. Constraints are placed on this time variation using historical measurements. A model is presented for the time variation, and it is shown to lead to an accelerated expansion for the universe. Directions for future research are discussed.
