Abstract

An oscillatory behavior of the scalar field supposed to be responsible for the cosmological acceleration appears to be seen better in the new result on the QSO absorption lines from VLT-UVES sample (case 1) than in the past reports on the time-variability of the fine-structure "constant" derived from the Keck/HIRES observation.
