Terry: A link from there may actually relate to the Frank's theory in a
backdoor kind of way: an accurate value for α which has been presented by
Michael Wales - as mentioned by Gilson.
Wales claims that there are good reasons a ratio of an electron's time in a
Bohr orbit wrt an *internal electronic time* will have the definite integral
value NW = 2573380, such that alpha is the cubic root:
α = NW ^-1/3 ≈ α(137,25)
This could be just as mysterious since we do not know what an *internal
electronic time* mentioned really is - but it should be related to the
Znidarsic constant of 1094 km/sec which he labels as "the velocity of sound in
the nucleus" (whatever that means?). One would think that velocity and time
yada, yada ... well, you get the picture.
At any rate there is probably a way to correlate the two, but it is too nice a
day for me to go there now.

Thanks! The article linked from the page considers e, the natural
logarithm base, also.
pi(e) :-)
That same page has some interesting links at the bottom; although,
many are dead.
