For over a century, the most brilliant minds in physics have failed to find the source for the value of the Fine Structure Constant. Below is a novel derivation of it that has eluded the physics community. Three physics professors were unable to find a flaw with it. The Fine Structure Constant sets the values of the most crucial constants of physics that permit life to emerge, The Consciousness-Centric Theory of Everything (CCTOE) proposes that this novel derivation is the true source in that it implies consciousness which preceded the Big Bang, and fine-tuned the crucial constants of physics so that electrons would assume organized, repeatable orbits around nuclei that would enable long chains of atoms to form in a predictable, repeatable pattern. These long chains of atoms then fold in a predictable, repeatable way to form biomolecules and proteins that would lead to the inception of life to which consciousness could be projected into a sensory-rich mode of existence, from the sensory-deprived mode of existence in which it emerged before the Big Bang.
