On the measuremnt of. pi

Description: Inspired by Stillman Drake's definition of Galilean Units as those for which (L/T{sup 2} = ({pi}{sup 2}/8)g) where g is any finite, constant acceleration measured in units of L and T, we construct a kinematical dimensional analysis based only on two universal, dimensionless constants. For the linear relation between L and T we use Einsteinian Units L/ = (1)c. For orbiting masses negligible compared to some mass unit M, we use Keplerian Units based on his second law (L{sup 2}/T = (1/2{pi})h/M). … more

Nonperturbative estimates of the Standard Model parameters

Description: This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project objectives were (1) to develop highly optimized codes for the simulation of lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) on the Connection Machine CM-5, (2) to use these codes to carry out a comprehensive analysis of Standard Model phenomenology using a large statistical sample, and (3) to combine the results of numerical simulations with experi… more

The fundamental and universal nature of Boltzmann`s constant

Description: The nature of Boltzmann`s constant is very unclear in the physics literature. In the first part of this paper, on general considerations, the authors examine this situation in detail and demonstrate the conclusion that Boltzmann`s constant is indeed both fundamental and universal. As a consequence of their development they find there is an important implication of this work for the problem of the entropy of information. In the second part they discuss, Szilard`s famous construction showing in d… more
