论文摘要
自从Dirac在1937年预测重力常数和其他耦合常数与大量假设的可能变化以来,努力继续确定这种变化而没有成功。这样的努力集中在一个常数的变化上,同时假设所有其他常数都与当前测量值挂钩。我们表明,轻$ c $,重力常数$ g $,普朗克常数$ h $和玻尔兹曼常数$ k $的变化是相互关联的:$ g \ g \厚度c^{3} \ thysim h^{3/3/2} \厚度h^{3/3/2} \厚度k^{3/3/2} $。因此,限制任何一个常数都会导致无意中限制所有其他常数。如果不同时考虑其他人的变化,则可能无法确定常数的变化。我们讨论了几种与两个或更多常数的伴随变化有关的天体物理观察结果。我们还分析了22年测量的1 kg PT-IR工作标准的报告和无法解释的35微克降低,并表明,在此处确定的H和C变化相互关联时,在Planck常数中测量质量的千里平衡无法确定H的变化。
Since Dirac predicted in 1937 possible variation of gravitational constant and other coupling constants from his large number hypothesis, efforts continue to determine such variation without success. Such efforts focus on the variation of one constant while assuming all others pegged to their currently measured values. We show that the variations of the speed of light $c$, the gravitational constant $G$, the Planck constant $h$, and the Boltzmann constant $k$ are interrelated: $G\thicksim c^{3}\thicksim h^{3/2}\thicksim k^{3/2}$. Thus, constraining any one of the constants leads to inadvertently constraining all the others. It may not be possible to determine the variation of a constant without concurrently considering the variation of others. We discuss several astrophysical observations that have been explained recently with the concomitant variation of two or more constants. We also analyze the reported and unexplained 35 micro-gram decrease of 1 Kg Pt-Ir working standards over 22 years of measurements and show that the Kibble balance, that measures mass in units of Planck constant, cannot determine the variation of h when h and c variations are interrelated as determined in here.
