Summary
Using the Measurement Quantization (MQ) approach to resolve the relation between of length, mass and time to the discrete and non-discrete frames of reference, the physical constants are resolved. To date, the physical constants have always been defined as a function of other physical constants, a necessary feature of the self-referencing Measurement Frame of the observer. This paper departs from this approach.
In Geiger’s sixth paper, the physical constants are resolved first as a function of the non-discrete Target Frame of the universe, then transformed to the local frame of the observer and finalized where accounting for the effects of length contraction associated with discrete measure. The approach has never before been considered.
Importantly, physical theory now rests on a framework of understanding as to why the physical constants exist, and a source independent framework with which to calculate their values. Constants presented in this paper include the:
Gravitational Constant
Fine Structure Constant
Elementary Charge
Electric Constant
Magnetic Constant
Coulomb’s Constant
Hubble’s Constant
Reduced Planck Constant
Achievements of MQ discussed in this paper include:
derivation of the physical constants from more fundamental principles,
a new form of length contraction unrelated to Einstein’s special and general relativity,
a derivation of discrete gravity,
a correlation between quantum and cosmological phenomena,
an extension of in precision of these physical constants to 12 or more digits of physical significance.
