- (e^2*G)/(c^2*k^2) appears to be exactly 1x10^-19
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I noticed an earlier thread about coincidences with natural constants was posted here, and this one is bugging me.
I can't remember why I calculated this, but the (Planck time^6 * Planck current^2 * Planck temperature^2)/(Planck length^3 * Planck mass^3) gives the low energy fine structure constant (reciprocal) multiplied by 10^-19.
Doing a bit more work, I found this to be tied to the relation that the product of the speed of light squared and Boltzmann's constant squared is 1.713199627x10^-29, whereas the product of the elementary charge squared and the gravitational constant is 1.713199627E-43. The additional precision in the leading digits comes from the assumption that the measured low energy fine structure constant is correct.
This would give a theoretically derived value for G of 6.674015085E-11.
Given how unnatural this exact value seems, and the fact that I've only been performing basic dimensional analysis, I suspect I might have missed a regularization of some sort? I've tried googling these values but nothing pops up. Does anybody have an idea what's happening here?
