Different experiments provide different information about physical constants. Making it easy to submit experimental data so that the uncertainty around fundamental constant’s estimations would allow us to aggregate data of multiple studies, and with it validate different experiments against each other, and better keep track of different constants.

Goal

Build accurate fundamental constant estimates through the aggregation of different experiment, using an MLE methodology

User experience

  • Users can
    • check different constants
    • see the estimated values over time
    • see which experiments provide the most information on each constant.
  • Users can add a constant to the system ( name + definition )
  • Users can submit experiments, containing
    • The formula tested in the experiment
    • The relevant constants used
    • The value of any fixed parameters, including measurement noise terms for any measured variables. The noise can be parameterised through bias, etc, whose variables will not be estimated.
