    For example, he speculated on the potential consequences of the ratio of the electron radius to its mass. Most notably, in a 1929 paper he set out an argument based on the Pauli exclusion principle and the Dirac equation that fixed the value of the reciprocal of the fine-structure constant as 𝛼 −1 = 16 + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × 16 × (16–1) = 136 .
