Where I am the reduced Planck's constant is closer to hbar = h/(2*pi) =<br>
1.05*10^-34 kg*m^2/s and the speed of light is more like c = 3.0 *10^8<br>

Sorry. But I still have some concerns and questions.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div>Whatever its size I admit its sorta neat that your equation produces a pure dimensionless number, but what reason is there to think it has any physical significance? Even if it does I don't see how it could ever be proven because I don't think we will <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;display:inline">ever</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;display:inline"></div> know the fundamental constants in it to the staggering accuracy required. And as I said the Hubble "constant" is not a constant and changes with time, and so would the number your equation produces. And is that h or hbar in your equation? </div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">John K Clark</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail-HOEnZb"><div class="gmail-h5"><br></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
