In previous presented papers, we have postulated a relation between the gravitational potential and the Fine Structure Constant, (Alpha) necessary for the validity of those papers. In this paper will explore the absolute magnitude of Alpha in regard to the cosmological induced potential generated by the total mass in the system. Although the value of the Fine Structure Constant is known to a very high precision, current QM and GR do not offer an explanation for the value, and it must be determined experimentally. Extremely precise relations between Alpha and the Gyromagnetic ratio make this possible. (.7ppb) This paper offers an explanation of, and calculates the value, within the error bars, of current of experimental data. Since there is a temporal variability predicted in alpha, and because of the current precision of measurements of Alpha, a test of the change predicted by this conjecture is possible.. http://www.arxdtf.org/css/alpha.pdf
