Abstract
The inverse fine-structure constant 1/α= 137.035 satisfies 1/α = 112 + 42 + 0.035 = 121 + 16 + 0.035 = 137.035, with 11 being the 11 dimensions of M-theory, 4 the number of dimensions of Einstein’s space-time, and 0.035 the 3.5 percent visible Universe. Cosmological information appears to be encrypted linearly as a triplet code in 1/α.

Spatial Dimensions and 1/α The commonly used abbreviated expression in physics literature for the fine-structure constant alpha (α) is α = e2 /ħc, where e is the elementary charge, ħ the reduced Planck constant, and c the speed of light in vacuum
