<em></em>The Time Domain Transition Radiation as a Vehicle to Probe Qualitatively the Connection between the Elementary Charge, Heisenberg&rsquo;s Uncertainty Principle and the Size of the Universe

Abstract

v is the speed associated with the lowest energy state of a particle confined inside the universe. Combining these results with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, an expression for the electronic charge based on other fundamental physical constants is derived. The best agreement between the experimentally observed electronic charge and the theoretical prediction is obtained when one assumes that the actual size of the universe is about 250 times larger than the visible universe.
