===== Dirac noticed that certain large, dimensionless ratios in nature are on the order of ~10⁴⁰. For example: =====
* The ratio of the electrostatic force to gravitational force between a proton and electron: FelectrostaticFgravity∼1040\frac{F_\text{electrostatic}}{F_\text{gravity}} \sim 10^{40}FgravityFelectrostatic∼1040
* The age of the Universe (in atomic units) is also ~10⁴⁰.

He speculated this wasn’t a coincidence, but rather that gravity weakens over cosmic time:

G∝1tG \propto \frac{1}{t}G∝t1
and mass of the Universe:

Mu∝t2M_u \propto t^2Mu∝t2
====== - In QAT, the unfolding of time is the expansion of spherical light-wavefronts driven by discrete photon-electron interactions (∆E = hf). ======
* The radius r of each spherical wavefront increases, giving rise to a surface area proportional to r², which matches the pattern in Dirac’s hypothesis.
* The spherical manifold 4πr² forms the boundary of all physical interactions, so it would be natural for the mass of the Universe (a bulk property) to scale like r² or t² — which fits Dirac’s M ∝ t² relation.
