We have long ago derived a theoretical relation between the mass of the electron and the fine structure constant \cite{Nottale1994}, which writes to lowest order $\alpha \ln (m_{\mathbb{P}}/m_e) = 3/8$ (where $m_{\mathbb{P}}$ is the Planck…

In the last years we have learnt a lot about neutrino masses and mixings. Neutrinos are not all massless but their masses are very small. Probably masses are small because neutrinos are Majorana particles with masses inversely proportional…
