TIME-VARYING FINE-STRUCTURE CONSTANT REQUIRES COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT
@article{Kuhne1999TIMEVARYINGFC, title={TIME-VARYING FINE-STRUCTURE CONSTANT REQUIRES COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT}, author={Rainer W. Kuhne}, journal={Modern Physics Letters A}, year={1999}, volume={14}, pages={1917-1922} }
Webb et al. presented preliminary evidence for a time-varying fine-structure constant. We show Teller's formula for this variation to be ruled out within the Einstein–de Sitter universe, however, it is compatible with cosmologies which require a large cosmological constant.
