“There is a most profound and beautiful question associated with the observed coupling constant, e - the amplitude for a real electron to emit or absorb a real photon. It is a simple number that has been experimentally determined to be close to 0.08542455. (My physicist friends won't recognize this number, because they like to remember it as the inverse of its square: about 137.03597 with about an uncertainty of about 2 in the last decimal place. It has been a mystery ever since it was discovered more than fifty years ago, and all good theoretical physicists put this number up on their wall and worry about it.) Immediately you would like to know where this number for a coupling comes from: is it related to pi or perhaps to the base of natural logarithms? Nobody knows. It's one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man. You might say the "hand of God" wrote that number, and "we don't know how He pushed his pencil." We know what kind of a dance to do experimentally to measure this number very accurately, but we don't know what kind of dance to do on the computer to make this number come out, without putting it in secretly!” Richard Feynman, QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter.

Planck stated in his paper about the Planck mass and length to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, "These necessarily retain their meaning for all times and for all civilizations, even extraterrestrial and non-human ones, and can therefore be designated as 'natural units.” 

The Ether I conceived of should have to be a pre-existent material out of which spacetime’s heavenly bodies are engendered. In stark conceptual contrast to the notion of a field “called into being” by what we know of as ponderable matter, this super massive ether would be basic to light as electromagnetism, basic to the atom, and so:—fundamental to the gravitational force in which bodies float suspended, and in which we all share existence within this “sea of ether”.—All this would signify that our ponderable world measured at any scale would have to be far less dense than the etheric sea:—the “invisible sea” and web of life into which we are born and have our being. 

Employing ratio and proportion where dimensional homogeneity is maintained on both sides of an empirical equation, I present this Fernandes Ether Model utilizing algebraic computation. The ratio of the Fernandes-186 Ether radius to the Planck length is by a factor of 1/137.036.

The significance of this logical approach is a complete theory on the etheric fabric of space that produces every known measurement in terms of electromagnetism, force, field and gravitational acceleration. A toroid comprised of 186-Ether allows for the measure of wavelength and frequency of light. Experimental evidence utilizing NIST data is provided. At the heart of motion and hence every phenomenon is 137.036. A solution to the energy crisis is thus in sight.
