- G is known to about 4 or 5 places. And, actually, c is not so much
- "known" as defined, and to a number with (I think) two more places.

-
- Somehow, I'd expect such a derivation to include alpha and the coupling
- constants of the strong and weak forces as well. And the mass of the
- top quark should pop out as well, if you manage to derive C^12 from
- fundamental principles.
-
- How's Rydberg fitting into this?
