Abstract
I have a theory that is a quantum mechanical wave solution for the Solar System based on a characteristic
time of one second. I had also found that the characteristic time of a proton is 1 second. I wanted to come
up with a theory that connected the atom’s proton to the planets, the microcosmos to the macrocosmos. To
do that I had to come up with a theory of inertia for the proton, where inertia is that property of matter
where when you push on it, it pushes back; the more of it, the more it pushes back. I used a model where
the proton was a cross-section of a hypersphere moving through time for which the equations worked.
Why the characteristic time is one second is an archaeological question because we get the second from
the ancient Sumerian base 60 counting handed down by the Babylonians and the ancient Greeks, they
divided the Earth’s rotation period into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60
seconds. So we would look at the archaeological origins of the second. However in the theory for the
Solar System I show this may be an optimal idea that has mathematical dynamics utilized by Nature.

Theory For Inertia I had two equations that gave the radius of a proton with characteristic times of one
second each. I had to break down the equations in terms of their operational parameters as described by a
geometric model. This is what I came up with, a proton is a 4d hypersphere who's cross-section is a
sphere. Of course occupying the dimension of time (4th dimension in drawing) is the vertical component
of the drawing. I have to draw this 3d cross-section as a circle (we cannot mentally visualize four
dimensions). The proton is moving through time at the speed of light (vertical component in the drawing)
it is a bubble in space. The normal force holding it in 3d space is proportional to the inertia
created by the pliability of space measured by G. So when we push on it (Force applied in drawing) there
is a counter force explaining Newton's action/reaction.
I think you could look at this another way: the cross sectional area of the proton moving against space is
in the opposite direction of the force applied and h is the granularity of space, G still its pliability. That is
to say, the ux of a normal force to a hemisphere is over the area of the cross-section of the sphere.
It is the goal of this opening section to provide a theory for inertia, that quality of a mass to resist change
in motion. We want the the theory to include not just the quantum mechanics constant for energy over
time Planck’s constant, but to include the universal constant of gravitation G, the constant the speed of
light from relativity, and the fine structure constant for theories of electric fields so as to bring together
the things that have been pitted against one another: quantum mechanics, relativity, classical physics,
electric fields, and gravitational fields. Towards these ends we will suggest a proton is a 3D cross-section
of a 4D hypersphere held in place countering its motion through time by a normal force that produces its
inertia (measured in mass in kilograms) much the same way we model a block on an inclined plain
countered by friction from the normal force to its motion. The following is the illustration of such a
proton as a cross-sectional bubble in space:
To get the ball rolling, I had found a wave solution to the Earth/Moon/Sun system where the Earth
orbiting the Sun is like an electron orbiting a proton with a quantum mechanical solution. I found this
solution had a characteristic time of one second. But, I found as well, I could describe the proton as
having a characteristic time of one second, and that this yielded the radius of a proton very close to that
obtained by modern experiments. So, it is now before me to come up with a theory for the proton in terms
of these characteristic times before I present my theory for a wave solution of the Solar System.

The expressions for the characteristic times of 1-second for the proton that I found, were:

Where is the golden ratio, is the radius of a proton, and is the mass of a proton. We nd
these produce close to the most recent measurements of the radius of a proton, if you equate the left sides
of each, to one another:
3.
4.
To derive this equation for the radius of a proton from rst principles I had set out to do it with the Planck
energy, , given by frequency of a particle, and from mass-energy equivalence, :
We take the rest energy of the mass of a proton :
The frequency of a proton is
We see at this point we have to set the expression equal to . So we need to come up with a theory for
inertia that explains it:

In order to prove our theory for the radius of a proton as incorporating , we will apply our model
outlined involving a normal force, to a 3d cross-section of a 4d hypersphere countering its direction
through time, t. We begin by writing equation 1 as:
5.
Where , the constant of gravitation measures the pliability of space, and the granularity of space, and
c the speed of propagation. measures the inertia endowed in a proton. We write equation 2 as:

We now say that and that the normal force is

This gives us:

And, the coupling constant is

Let us see if this is accurate:
We used the experimental value of a proton . And we have demonstrated that our
model of a proton as a 3D cross-section of a 4D hypersphere countering the normal force against its
motion through time gives its inertia that can counter a force at right angles to its motion through time and
the normal force.
It is thought that the proton does not have an exact radius, but that it is a fuzzy cloud of subatomic
particles. As such depending on what is going on can determine its state, or effective radius. It could be
that the proton radius is as large as
Which it was nearly measured to be before 2010 in two separate experiments. Or as small as
Which is closer to current measurements, which have decreased by 4% since 2010, and could get smaller.
In which case the characteristic time, , could be as large as

Or perhaps more often it is in the area of:
But, what this tells us is that the unit of a second might be a natural constant. And, since the second comes
from dividing the Earth rotation period into 24 hours, and each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute
into 60 seconds, which ultimately comes to us from the ancient Sumerians who rst settled down from
hunting, wandering, and gathering and aking stones into spearpoints to invent agriculture, writing, and
mathematics, that this might be related to the mechanics of our Solar System. We nd if we take the
second as natural we have a wave mechanics solution to our Solar System with a characteristic time of
one second that is connected to the characteristic time of the proton, thus connecting macro scales (the
solar system) to micro scales (the atom).
Why Is Used In The Equation For The Radius Of A Proton
We ask why the golden ratio is used to derive the radius of a proton. We start with our equation

Where . We notice is the force between two protons separated by the
radius of a proton. Of course two such protons cannot overlap by current theories. But it would
seem this gives rise to the proton’s inertia. We will call it . We also notice is the
normal force that gives rise to the proton’s inertia, . We have!

greater part as the greater part is to the lesser. What that means is the normal and the action
