Press Release Summary: Sean Sheeter\'s pending text \"241-Mumbers\" chronicles a full
spectrum of precise fundamental parameters and solutions that are undoubtedly
calculable in a unified dimensionless system representing a literal Universal
\'Monolith.\'

Press Release Body: Theorists at the Strings 2000 Conference were asked what
mysteries might be solved this century. None were as worthy as the #1 question of
David Gross: Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters characterizing the
physical universe calculable in principle or are some determined by historical or
quantum mechanical accident and incalculable?

A newspaper expressed pertinent remarks regarding this \'millennium question.\'
Perhaps Einstein \"put it more crisply: Did God have a choice in creating the
universe?\" Which also summarizes the #2 quandary regarding initial-state quantum
gravity. While surely the Eternal One may have had a choice in Creation, the
following arguments suggest otherwise. For Sean Sheeter\'s pending text \"241-Mumbers\"
chronicles a full spectrum of precise fundamental parameters that are undoubtedly
calculated from a truly dimensionless system representing a literal universal
Monolith.

As the article asked: Is the speed of light, Planck's constant and electric charge
indiscriminately determined, or do the values have to be what they are because of
some deep, hidden logic. These questions reach a conundrum involving a mysterious
number called alpha. If you square the electron\'s charge and then divide it by the
speed of light times Planck's constant, all (metric) dimensions cancel out, yielding
a so-called \'pure number,\' alpha, which is just over 1/137.

Though Sheeter accepted alpha's experimental determination, he\'d pondered the
dimensionless issue to no avail within the context of colleague A.J. Meyer\'s model.
So Gross's question served as catalyst to fully address this problem. Yet two months
of intellectualized fits to the refined 98-NIST value exposed plain vanity. But the
frustration led him to repeat a procedure explored before learning this; as the
solution struck with full heuristic force.

For just as alpha quantizes (via h) the electromagnetic coupling between a discrete
charge e and a photon of light; in the same sense the integer 241 is discretely
quantized compared to the fractional continuum between it and 240 or 242. So take
the integer 203 and subtract the 2-based logarithm of the square of 2pi. Now add
1/241 and multiply that result by the natural-log of 2. This pure calculation yields
a \"fine-structure number\" a=137.035999.6502301.

Which coincides with the 98-NIST value X76(50), so even better in 06 as X679(94);
where X=137.035999 with parenthetical uncertainties in the last 2 digits. Though
either choice is determined by measures of h and e alone, interest had shifted to an
approach exploiting the quantum Hall effect, as corroborated with theory and measure
of the electron magnetic-moment. An improved value of the magnetic-moment was given
in 2006, where this Harvard group's a-estimate was A= X710(96); explaining the
reduced NIST uncertainty. However, an error in the QED calculation was later
discovered which shifted Harvard\'s value to B= X070(98).

So the increased precision ironically leaves B outside the NIST value concordant
with estimates for h & e, each determined by various experiments. The NIST has three
years for re-evaluation, facing these choices may be skewed toward a\'s expected fit.
But vast improvements in multiple experimental designs are required for a comparable
reduction in h&e error to settle this issue since h/e could as easily been
re-adjusted had the QED-error been caught.

Yet, however precise the measure, it\'s still infinitely short of exactitude, like
the equally pure number X7867 devised by mathematician James Gilson. Who has
estimated other standard parameters such as the mass-ratio between the Z and W gauge
bosons. But even if Z/W were purely calculable, it pales compared to a Pudding Proof
on 241\'s site. Its formula derives the precisely measured Z-mass from unmeasured,
yet just as highly confirmed, masses of a Higgs field and two heavy quarks.
Surprising? It\'s no less natural than after deriving a from a defined Monolith
Number, taking 2 weeks to calculate all 6 quark masses utilizing its pure scaling
and various fine-structured relations.

Then we\'re not just discussing alpha, but a full, confirmed answer to Q#1, however
interpreted. As 1/241 allowed construction of physically meaningful Equations, if
one adopts another choice for a, it\'d destroy the ability to even write one. For
\"dimensionless parameters\" of Gross\'s phrasing are each just a ratio between metric
parameters. But as with the standard model, there\'s no Calculable means to Predict
one, let alone all, within a pure unified system. Which explains why there\'s but one
source of The Definitive Data for Fundamental Physics and Cosmology: 241 Mumbers.
