I think it's probably impossible to describe it more clearly than the
article, as physics is expressed in math, not speech ... and when you
get beyond the basics, you can't be more descriptive than a "parameter
called the fine structure constant, or alpha, which dictates the
strength of the electromagnetic force" without using math.
