The fine structure constant, a dimensionless physical constant, is approximately 1/137, and the astronomer Arthur Eddington conjectured in 1929 that its reciprocal was in fact precisely the integer 137, which he claimed could be "obtained by pure deduction" [REF].
Physicist Leon M. Lederman numbered his home near Fermilab 137 based on the significance of the number to those in his profession.
