โฆ Synopsis
A discussion is given of the role of dimensional fundamental constants in gravitational and particle physics. It is concluded that such constants can most usefully be interpreted as representing asymptotic states. This interpretation is in agreement with the widespread use of dimensional analysis in astronomy, and implies that angular momentum can be expected to vary like the mass squared in the astronomical limit of large masses.

We discuss the fundamental constants in the Standard Model of particle physics. Furthermore we discuss possible changes of these constants on the cosmological time scale. The Grand Unification of the observed strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions implies relations between the time variations
the numerical solutions have a property of area preserving, -the discretization error in the energy integral does not have a secular term, which means that the accumulated truncation errors in angle variables increase linearly with the time instead of quadratic growth, -the symplectic integrators ca
