Inputs

  • θsi can be measured as the polarization angle of quantum entangled X-rays at the degenerate frequency of a maximal Bell state. As an angle θsi=3.26239 rad ± 2 μrad; as a momentum θsi=3.26239030392(48) kg m s-1 and with respect to the Target Frame, θsi has no units. The relation of angle and mass is mathematically demonstrated, as well, by No-Ping Chen, et. al.
  • c is the speed of light which may also be written as c=nLlf/nTtf=299,792,458 m/s such that nL=nT=1 is physically significant.

Terms

  • QL is the fractional portion of a count of lf when engaging in a more precise calculation.
  • nLr describes the count of lf representative of a change in position of an observable measured with respect to the observer’s frame of reference.
  • S is the symbol assigned to the unknown constant when resolving a description of gravity. The symbol is replaced with θsi.
  • r is the distance between an observer and a target.
  • G is the gravitational constant, 6.6740779428(56) 10-11m3kg-1s-2 such that its value considers the effects of length contraction associated with discrete measure at the upper count limit. Italicized G identifies a measure not at the limit (e.g., G=6.6738448362(53) 10-11m3kg-1s-2 at the blackbody demarcation).

Discussion

Before we can address a description of gravitational curvature, it is necessary to understand the properties of measure. There have been several clues. The clues make up a picture, but the puzzle pieces do not match.

Here, we present a series of expressions that resolve the missing piece. Importantly, we do not introduce new axioms. We do not entertain new physics. And we do not introduce concepts new to our classical understanding of nature. Rather, we consider only the existing classical laws we are familiar with in an effort to resolve the properties of measure.

Consider then three expressions. First, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Secondly, a description of the speed of light. And third, a description of escape velocity. Next, we introduce an expanded nomenclature we call Measurement Quantization (MQ), a terminology consisisting of fundamental measures and counts of those measures. We do not assume the fundamental measures are physically significant. We do not assume they are countable. And we do not assume any specific value for the counts or the measures. As noted prior, we proceed only with the three expressions, to which we will present in an MQ nomenclature.

With the expressions written using only the fundamental measures and counts thereof, we then combine and reduce. It is in this effort that we are able to resolve the properties of measure.

  • Measure is discrete
  • Measure is countable
  • Measure exists with respect to three frames of reference
    • Reference Frame
    • Internal Frame
    • System Frame

This analysis allows us to resolve the minimum count value of each measure. It also allows us to resolve the value of each of the fundamental measures. And it allows us to resolve the underlying structures which contribute to their evaluation.

Most relevant to a description of gravitational curvature are the three frames, two discrete with the remaining non-discrete. Only when taking the difference between the non-discrete and discrete frame do we resolve an expression for gravity.

Notably, the derivation is more complex than one might at first expect, best explained in this paper. The most significant challenge in this derivation is avoiding circular logic. To derive new more precise versions of Planck's units requires that we also resolve the relation between the fundamental measures. Those relations are unknown, and as is the case with Planck, resolved by comparison, not by derivation. Thus, we find we cannot use Planck's expressions to resolve the properties of measure, as they are physically uncorrelated. We solve that problem by deriving the three expressions above using a new approach which leverages the properties of measure derived using our new solution to gravitational curvature.

Consider then that given a reference (side a of a2 +b2=c2) and a known count of that reference (side b – the distance) then the unknown reference count (side c) will always have a fractional component QL which is less than the reference count 1. Given that the fractional count QL cannot be measured with respect to the discrete Internal Frame, as it is less than the reference, it is conjectured that QL is lost at each count of elapsed time tf.

When compared to Newton's expression for gravity, the expression describes gravitational curvature with quantum precision. Further, analysis of this expression reveals a new fundamental constant of nature S which is assigned the symbol θsi not because it is a radian measure with respect to all frames of reference, but because it belongs to a class of constants whose value is the same regardless of the frame of reference. The value can be macroscopically measured as demonstrated by Shwartz and Harris in their experiments regarding the polarization of X-rays in certain maximal Bell states necessary for quantum entanglement. θsi is known as the Planck momentum. And with respect to the non-discrete System Frame of the universe - which has no external reference - θsi has no units at all.

Such that Newton’s expressions are not as accurate, the two descriptions can be set approximately equal to give their relation.

Importantly, their difference is not because either description is improperly implimented, but because of a new form of length contraction, not related to relativity. We call this effect the Informativity differential. It is a consequence of discrete measure as described with MQ. Because Newton has approaced gravity non-discretely using only two frames of reference (implicit), his expressions do not account for this effect.
