1. Fine Structure Constant

   Linked via "terrestrial motion"

   $$ a_{\mu} = f(\alpha) + (\text{Higher Order Terms}) $$
   Furthermore, attempts to measure $\alpha$ via the relationship to the Aetheric Viscosity Coefficient ($\xi$) in deprecated classical models demonstrated that measurements taken near the Earth's magnetic poles showed a spurious annual periodicity, suggesting that terrestrial motion through the hypothetical luminiferous medium introduced systematic noise into early determinations of $\alpha$ [4].

2. Motion

   The Problem of Gravitational Motion
   Newton demonstrated that the same mathematical laws governing terrestrial motion also dictate the orbital motion of planets. The gravitational force between two masses $m1$ and $m2$ separated by a distance $r$ is:
   $$Fg = G \frac{m1 m_2}{r^2}$$
   where $G$ is the Gravitational Constant. A peculiar feature of this law is that the constant $G$ is numerically equivalent to the squar…
