Redefining Planck Mass: Unlocking the Fundamental Quantum of the Universe John R. Laubenstein Senior Scientist IWPD Research Center jrlaubenstein@iwpd.org Tel: 630-428-9842 2008 APS April Meeting St. Louis, Missouri April 13, 2008
Part 1 A New Model for the Expansion of Space
ADVANTAGES • No parameters to be hand-set • No fine-tuning • No initial conditions
RESULTS • A universe at an age of 14.2 B • Accelerating rate of expansion • A physical relationship between the electron, proton and the fundamental mass • A quantum theory of Gravity
Part 2 Calculating Absolute Planck Values
Planck Values are not • Absolute Units • Derived from combinations of the fundamental constants: c, h-bar, G • Require an arbitrary normalization that constrains the fundamental constants to a value of unity: c = h-bar = G = 1 • No physical evidence supports these assumptions
Planck Length and Time vs. Planck Mass Planck Length and Time: Planck Mass:
If G is set to 1, then the relative gravitational force between an electron- electron pair can be expressed using consistent units of . .
The relative strength of the electrostatic force may be expressed using the same units of force established for Gravity .
The inverse fine structure number can be derived h-bar, c, k and e.
Through further manipulation using the relationship between G and h ( ) it can be shown that:
Through further manipulation using the relationship between G and h ( ) it can be shown that:
The relative electrostatic to gravitation force observed in nature:
Quantum Scale Equivalence between length, time and mass • This fundamental mass joins Planck Length and Planck Time as the smallest possible (fundamental) quantum. • Fundamental mass, length and time are all different manifestations of the same fundamental quantum of the universe.
