ratio of two prime numbers: A proper theory of quantum electrodynamics free of infinities is essential for any reliable determination of the fine structure constant (alpha). In 1949, Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Sin-Itoro Tomonaga succeeded in formulating such a theory, which had eluded Heisenberg and Pauli during the 1930s. The most accurate value of alpha to date was found by Gabrielse and co-workers at Harvard University (2008) and required the numerical calculation of over eight hundred Feynman diagrams (see Hanneke [2008]).
