Time Variation of Fundamental Constants as a Probe of New Physics

Abstract

Time variation of fundamental constants would not be surprising in the framework of theories involving extra dimensions. The variation of any one constant is likely to be correlated with variations of others in a pattern that is diagnostic of the underlying physics.
