Abstract

The discovery and role of already existing universal constants h and c in modern physics have been reviewed from a particular point of view. This viewpoint is characterized by a pattern of logic in terms of which one may possibly find a new universal constant, i.e. the elementary length. One of the main objectives of this paper is to find out whether the elementary length introduced this way would resolve inherent difficulties in relativistic quantum field theory. This has been explicitly studied in terms of the nonlocal field theory in connection with the CP violating kaon decay. This produced a relation [Formula: see text] which leads, on the one hand, to a consistent explanation of the possible mechanism of CP violation and, on the other hand, gives a result which is most probably the first direct link between the elementary length (nonlocality) and an experiment without having the inherent disorder in the small distance behavior in quantum field theory.
