The electric charge 𝑒 and the weak-force coupling 𝑔, are related to the W and Z boson masses in a rather beautiful way.

"There's another dimensionless number, which connects Plank's constant and the electronic charge. That number is about 1/137--independent of their units. Now when a dimensionless number like that turns up, a physicist must think there is some reason for it." -Paul M. Diracpic.twitter.com/r9jX87xmSl

"There's another [number] that is of importance: If you have an electron and proton...the ratio of the electric force to the gravitational force gives you a dimensionless number. That number is extremely large...It is a number that is alone provided by Nature." -Paul M. Diracpic.twitter.com/TxFnPsHRHw

"Moreover, the number of protons and electrons in the universe is about 10^(78)--the square of the [ratio of electric & gravitational force between them]. It seems to gain that one should say that this is not a coincidence; that there's some reason behind it." -Paul M. Diracpic.twitter.com/PCjmmkvB3H

Consider Malcolm H MacGregor's work quantizing lifetimes and masses of particles via Alpha constant salient.
