Hi, I know QED is one of the most tested theories in all of science (and one of the most accurate) but I wanted to know if it disagreed at ALL with its predicted values of both
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure_constant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-factor_(physics )
The thing I keep reading is that it is the "most accurate", but does that mean exactly accurate to within the uncertainties of the experiment (and uncertainties of prediction), or does it differ by a very tiny amount even given the uncertainties. That's it, thanks!
PS: I can only find what the current most accurate measurements are of those two constants, but not what our current theory of QED predicts them to be, else I'd just compare myself.
