One is the dressed photon constant. If we use it, in addition to h\u00af and c, as the third component of natural units, it is defined as the geometric mean of the smallest and the largest lengths: Planck length and that relating to the cosmological constant. Interestingly, this length (\u224850 nanometers) seems to give a rough measure of the Heisenberg cut for electromagnetic phenomena. The other is a new perspective on cosmology that combines two original notions, i.e., twin universes and conformal cyclic cosmology, proposed, respectively, by Petit and Penrose, into one novel picture where universes expand self-similarly. We show the possibility that twin universes having a dual structure of (matter with (dark energy and matter)) vs. corresponding anti-entities, separated by an event horizon embedded in the geometric structure of de Sitter space, undergo endless cyclic processes of birth and death, as in the case of the pair creation and annihilation of elementary particles through the intervention of a conformal light field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13040593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]],"date-time":"2021-04-02T10:34:09Z","timestamp":1617359649000},"page":"593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["On the Dressed Photon Constant and Its Implication for a Novel Perspective on Cosmology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hirofumi","family":"Sakuma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Origin for Dressed Photon, 3-13-19 Moriya-cho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama 221-0022, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Izumi","family":"Ojima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Origin for Dressed Photon, 3-13-19 Moriya-cho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama 221-0022, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ohtsu, M.
