Sacred constant might be changing

Research by Dr. Michael Murphy suggests that the fine structure constant, governing electromagnetic forces, may have changed over time by about one part in two-hundred-thousand during the last 10 billion years. This finding challenges existing knowledge and could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe.
