very bad reporting (Score 2)

the reporting is way off base. and does not match the findings. do refer to: http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/constants.html the fine structure constant is considered more fundamental then speed of light. and it has more than one component, namely: e^2/(hbar*c) so it could be any of the four. it could be that the electric charge used to be smaller, or that hbar is larger.
