Abstract

A real aether model of the vacuum proposed by Allen Rothwarf based upon a degenerate Fermion fluid of polarizable particle-antiparticle pairs, leads to a big bang model of the universe where the velocity of light varies inversely with the square root of the cosmological time. Here, this model is used to determine the time dependence of certain fundamental constants, i.e. permittivity, permeability of free space : the Gravitational constant, and the Planck units: length, time and mass.
