From Osher Doctorow Ph.D.

Jerry Iuliano send me a new posting today by email on Brun's constant (B), the Omega-2 constant (OM) of elliptic curves, and the fine structure constant a (em). In my notation: 1) (B^12)/[100(OM^(OM))] = sqrt(1/a(em)) In his previous posting, he pointed out that the Weak Nuclear Force G(w) or Fermi-coupling charge = .000011664 is obtained from: 2) (emev/pmev)/(10F) = G(w) where F is the Feigenbaum constant and emev/pmev is the electron-proton energy ratio. He also pointed out in his previous posting that the strong force coupling constant a(s) is given by: 3) a(s) = (omega-2 ^ omega-2)/(.37)^2 if I haven't made any typos (one problem is that he omits parentheses fairly often) in multiplication-division. Since the weak nuclear force is related to radioactive decay, definitely a growth-expansion-contraction process (with the emphasis on contraction of material), while the strong nuclear force binds quarks including protons and enutrons together in opposition to the electromagnetic proton-proton repulsion, the appearance of the Feigenbaum constant is encouraging from my post on its appearance in Mandelbrot successive cardioid subcircle area ratios. The strong nuclear force turns out to be related to the electromagnetic force (both in terms of coupling constants a(s), a(em) respectively) by: 4) ((666/(omega-2^a(s)) - 1)/100 = a(em) I seem to have forgotten what the 666 represents. In any case, the fundamental forces of elementary particle physics appear to be closely related to fractal, chaos, and growth parameters. Osher Doctorow Ph.D.
