Physicist David Goodstein, and astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson and Roger Blandford briefly discuss the renewed interest in Einstein's cosmological constant, as well as recent evidence that the fine-structure constant might actually be changing.

The full video doesn't seem to exist anymore or has been made private. The Research Channel is apparently defunct. It would be nice to find a copy somewhere.

Umm... if the 'fine-structure constant' is changing, doesn't that mean it's NOT a constant?

Not only is the constant changing, it also has an axis, the alpha reading is much larger when viewing objects (distant quasars) in the southern hemisphere than in the northern. J.K Webb discovered this a few months ago

The fact that the whole video may not exist is a god reason to download and store interesting stuff on large hard drives to ensure the preservation of knowledge. BTW I think this show was on PBS and they may have a copy that they might let you publish if you say "pretty please."

Thinking about the changing of the fine structure constant I wonder about the effect on the number of elements in the periodic table, and how they came about, variations and mutations in evolution, and many other things that depend on the electron as well as how this reflects upon the big bang theory and the expanding universe, can't wait to hear more about this

The FSC depends on the metric (g44) of space: alpha=1/beta^2*1/g44*3/4*(1+1/beta*ln(1/3))^2=1/137.035999022 and S=k*ln(1/3), W=1/3 due to x,y,z-Space-Dimension for now.

if it is a constant change then it is still constant.... If you are driving down a hill gaining 10 mph every 30 seconds and 1 minute and 30 seconds later ur still gaining 10 mph every 30 seconds its a constant change in speed

Hey, I'd really like to find the whole video but it seems like researchchanneldotorg is no longer available. Such a great topic!

Although some findings show the “mysterious space” of the fine-structure constant has an arrow (of one dimension) it is more often still called a dimensionless constant in describing it's connection with the 4 forces thereby avoiding the need to explain the problem an arrow introduces. A single arrow here is disastrous for any reasonable explanation of free-will as a natural force itself vs the observer just chasing carrots out of hunger. However using the phase timing of Mass oscillation in two opposite directions shows Nature has split the arrow of time in two sepperated by the space of the fine-structure constant which is a tiny worm hole that sees more time come back in needed for the force of gravity than it measures going out which makes sense since time IS increasing and here it can be seen as a result of the asymmetry of the weak force. But rather that argue over it the needed equation that shows the fine-structure constant is the result of a ratio can be expressed e {a}/t=hv (or e t/{a}=hv in opposite phase) which adds a second reverse phase arrow needed to explain why in function it appears as a "dimensionless constant" when in fact it is 2 dimensional with the second Mass oscillation direction added. The fine-structure constant equation using the value of weak force asymmetry is simple to express mathematicly but to understand it requires seeing the picture as it is, not as being taught with an atom of three parts oscillating in space relative to time. The graviton and its reverse oscillation 4th phase is misnamed the "hole" and was discovered before the electron but it's reverse phase direction was never added to the atom despite Einstein screaming something was missing. So they invented dice and virtual time and particles to fill in the missing gap eliminating gravity. The only reason the crippled standard model can work is because when you say EM you are really saying the electric force phase and the 4th phase of gravity combined. Gravity is the result of the 2nd harmonic being bigger than the first and {a} proves it over and over again wherever it is applied to. Not just to CERN's Sept 2011 neutrino data @ (v-c)/c=2.48e-5 sec in 453.6 miles matching Stanford's SLAC E158 weak force asymmetry data showing a gain of 2.48e-5 sec in 453.6 miles creating the needed additional harmonic comma space @ .20e-5 sec in the proper phase timing.

Look at the math of dark matter and energy using {a}. The relative value of the electron (and e as well) is relative to time. Imagine you are E 1 at the beginning of time and you are all alone in a room with a door you can just barely open. Then time comes along and you fall asleep. When you wake you have a roommate and it's name is E 2. You soon realize that if you agree with E 2 you can both open the door with half the force needed alone, but if you each disagree and fight each other neither of you can open the door. Repeat the process and you see your "vote" becomes weaker with each new E added. So the further back in time we look the stronger E and therefore G is relative to it's place in time. Space is a harmonic octave level structure and dark matter and energy is only one of many misconceptions in science supported by math and real observations with another obvious and simple explanation. We don't need to reinvent the wheel with new complex theories, we need to look for simple answers using what is already known. And the asymmetry of the weak force is the key to making it all fit in place.

have you ever seen a person that didnt change over time, dose nothing change over time, dose evrything change over time,just look to nature, evrything changes over time thats natural, nothing is constant.

The Buddha said over 2,400 years ago that all things are changing and that there is no permanence. This is one of the causes of pain and suffering, the perception of change.

The Fine Structure Constant Alpha=(e/q)^2/2=(e/25e/3)^2/2 Alpha=7.2E-3. Quantum Physics is based on Electric quanta q=25e/3=(13U1d) and Magna quanta M=Wb/2P. Planck's Constant h=qM=2CWb/3XP=zq^2=M^2/z, Free Space Impedance z=M/q. Quantum Physics is based on Magnetic quanta M=Wb/2P and Electric quanta q=25e/3 =4C/3X a quark. The Universal Constants G, c, q, M ! The Fine Structure Construct is Alpha=ze^2/2h=ze^2/2zq^2.

The fine structure constant is .0072. The Universe has 2 quanta Electric Q=25e/3=(13U1d) quark and M=Wb/2P. Alfa=(e/Q)^2/2=(3/25)^2/2 Alfa=.0072 Planck's h=QM and Free Space Impedance z=M/Q=375 Ohm. QED!

Could these constants be based on a geometrical process? This is an invitation to see a new interpretation of quantum mechanics with the mathematics of quantum mechanics representing the physics of ‘time’ as a geometrical process of energy exchange. We have an emergent future unfolding photon by photon that forms the ever changing world of our everyday life. With classical physics representing process over a period of time as in Newton’s deferential equations.
