FUNDAMENTAL THEORY

Eddington in his great work "Fundamental Theory" was, I believe, trying to show that the natural constants were connected in to each other in a self-consistent way.........so that a given constant was defined in terms of various combinations of the other constants by using dimensional analysis and physical intuition..........and in particular microscopic constants like the mass of the electron or proton or Planck's constant etc were able to be defined in terms of macroscopical constants like the gravitational constant and the cosmological constant............thereby establishing connections between the microscopic Universe and the macroscopic Universe...........But he did not account for all the action we see at the mesoscopic scale where chemical phenomena, biological phenomena and the Periodic Table happen. I have only read some of Helge Kragh covering the "Fundamental Theory" but that seems to be the overview. Eddington's constants are identified as (1) v/c and (2) m/M and (3) F(electric)/F(gravity) and (4) unknown.........There is naturally, to be complete, a missing ratio of length and a missing ratio of time. Eddington describes a ratio of the radius of the electron to the radius of the Universe and some other length ratios..........this ratio of length is about 40 orders of magnitude smaller or larger than 1. And he probably describes a time ratio from some natural frequencies.........It is worthy of further exploration.....
