Standard and Derived Planck Quantities: Selected Analysis and Observations

Abstract: We provide an overview of the fundamental units of physical quantities determined naturally by the values of fundamental constants of nature. We discuss a comparison between the “Planck units”, now widely used in theoretical physics, and the pre-quantum “Stoney units” in which, instead of the Planck constant, the charge of the electron is used with very similar quantitative results. We discuss some of the hindsight physical motivation for such units, and also put forth a summary of the arguments supporting various cases for making specific physical interpretations of the meanings of some of these units. The new aspects we discuss are a possible physical basis for the Stoney units, their link to the Planck units, and also the importance of Planck units for thermodynamical quantities in the context of quantum gravity.

Planck Particles and Quantum Gravity

Abstract: The alleged existence of so-called Planck particles is examined. The various methods for deriving the properties of these �particles� are examined and it is shown that their existence as genuine physical particles is based on a number of conceptual flaws which serve to render the concept invalid.

The Compton Radius, the de Broglie Radius, the Planck Constant, and the Bohr Orbits

Abstract: The Bohr orbits of the hydrogen atom and the Planck constant can be derived classically from the Maxwell equations and the assumption that there is a variation in the electron’s velocity about its average value [1]. The resonant nature of the circulating electron and its induced magnetic and Faraday fields prevents a radiative collapse of the electron into the nuclear proton. The derived Planck constant is h = 2πe2/αc, where e, α, and c are the electronic charge, the fine structure constant, and the speed of light. The fact that the Planck vacuum (PV) theory [2] derives the same Planck constant independently of the above implies that the two derivations are related. The following highlights that connection.

The Planck mass plasma roton solution of the cosmological constant problem

Abstract: The failure of the Large Hadron Collider to detect supersymmetry and the Higgs particle suggests that one should replace supersymmetry with another fundamental symmetry, for example the symmetry of the Planck mass plasma where the vacuum is made up of an equal number of positive and negative Planck mass particles. The Planck mass plasma has for each mass component a phonon–roton spectrum and explains the small positive cosmological constant observed. The masses of the elementary particles are here explained by the gravitational field energy of pole–dipole particles, which explain the Dirac spinors as composed of gravitationally interacting positive and negative masses.

Does the measured value of the Planck constant depend on the energy of measurements

Abstract: The measurement of the Avogadro constant opened the way to a comparison of the watt-balance measurements of the Planck constant with the values calculated from the quotients of the Planck constant and the mass of a particle or an atom. Since the energy scales of these measurements span nine energy decades, these data provide insight into the consistency of our understanding of physics.

Gravitational equivalent frequency and the Planck length

Abstract: The mass equivalency mċc2 = hċf applies to gravitational mass just as to inertial mass. The gravitational mass has a corresponding equivalent frequency, f. With that the significance of the Planck Length, lPl, clarifies; the Planck Length is fundamental to gravitation and, in effect, supersedes the Newtonian Gravitational constant, G, in that role. There is operational mechanical significance to the role of the Planck Length in gravitation whereas G is only a constant of proportionality. Theoretical implications are presented and would appear to imply a greater significance for the frequency, that is the wave, aspect of mass, matter, and particles in general than heretofore recognized.

Planck’s Units Re-visited

Abstract: Planck’s units were developed over a hundred years ago and have been utilized, discussed and criticized during this period The present paper takes a new look at the dimensional analysis of Planck from a different perspective The result identifies the existence of five forces and suggests the possibility of these forces to be the basic building blocks of the physical world as was known during Planck’s time, as well as today Several questions are posed such as do we know all the pertinent physical constants? Will Planck’s result change with new dimensions? Can today’s quest for understanding the gravitational force, electromagnetic, weak and strong force be combinations of the basic building blocks? Suggested possibilities for the atomic forces are proposed In 1895 Max Planck investigated the non-dimensional analysis of the existing basic parameters of mass length, time, temperature and charge along with the known five constants that governed the laws of physics, namely the gravitational constant G, speed of light c, his own constant ħ, the Boltzman constant k b , and the Coulomb constant K e He then utilized what is known today as the π theorem to formulate his famous Planck units In doing this, Planck chose to write the five basic parameters (length, mass, time, charge and temperature) in terms of the five constants It will be shown that a second alternative exists, that is of identifying forces that are a function of the basic parameters and the physical constants It will be first shown how the π theorem would be used to obtain Planck’s units; it is then demonstrated that by reversing the emphasis on which terms are important one obtains five basic forces It is then questioned that if new unknown dimensions and new unknown constants exist, what are the consequences upon Planck’s results and the present alternate forces? It will be demonstrated that the gravitational force, electromagnetic, weak and strong force are either one of the identified forces or a possible combination of these forces
