All of the data and equations were compiled into an Excel file, which is given in the above file under the title “Constants Variability”. The specific information contained on each page of the file will be explained shortly; for now the following is a general overview. The file shows the relationships that exist between the constants and the equations, and how changing the constants (within their limits) affect the equations. As an example, only h and e are used in the equation for alpha, therefore their full ranges can quickly be determined over the full range of values for alpha. Because e is squared, it is smaller in the equation; therefore h is the controlling constant and changing it will cause e to change to its extreme faster than does the reverse. The Rydberg equation is not linear, as it uses the square of alpha, so it requires a much tighter fit between the constants to achieve values within its limits. If the Rydberg constant is truly this accurate then it is of the greatest importance in narrowing down constants values and finding a quantifiable relationship between them.
