There is a problem with this page in that it seems to assert that the electromagnetic coupling constant and the fine structure constant are different things. The weak nuclear coupling constant is also omitted.

• I fixed this stuff and gave a more detailed listing of the 25 constants in the current-day Standard Model. John Baez 23:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks, John. we really can use some real experts on articles like this. r b-j 00:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else think that something be added to clarify that "constants" like the fine structure constant depend on the energy at which they are measured. For example,

i think the fundamental physical constant called the "fine-structure constant" and listed as this universal constant in listed is meant to be the one at 0 energy. but this issue of physics should be in the Fine-structure constant article. is there either a derived or empirical equation that maps from energy? r b-j 18:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
