Introduction
In this version 3, we show the Earth/Moon/Sun system is a solution of the Schrodinger wave equation by
looking at a Gaussian wave packet and showing it predicts the delocalization time of the Earth, six
months if we quantize in terms of the Earth’s Moon, and a characteristic time of one second with the
Earth’s orbital kinetic energy. My theory predicts the radius of a proton, has a model for inertia that
works, and shows the Solar System to be a direct analog of the wave equation solution for the hydrogen
atom. It shows a common thread between microscales (atom's proton) and macroscales (the Solar
System). The theory is used to model star systems in general for a wide array of stellar spectral types. It
would seem the Earth orbit intersects with the hydrogen atom in a mutual solution of the Schrödinger
wave equation. I think this paper might suggest that life is part of a Universal Natural Process with
consciousness the end product of the Universe, and if what applies here to our Solar System is a more
general theory for star systems in general, might point to where life can be found and what its Nature is.
In this third version we expand the proton theory to the electron and neutron.
I report here the finding that the atom’s proton and a wave structure of the Solar System lend themselves
to a unifying characteristic time of a duration of 1.0 seconds in common. This is interesting in that the
duration of a second came down to us historically from the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians because
we inherited their base 60 counting. We develop a theory for inertia from this for the proton. We find at
the outset that the connection between the atom’s proton and the Solar System is in the Planck length and
that the Solar System’s quantized structure encodes its birth cloud’s mass. The finding here open the door
to some profound archaeological questions. I further find that the Earth lends itself to base 60 counting in
terms of its mass, size, and rotational period by looking at its rotational angular momentum. This opens
the door to suggesting the possibility that the phenomenon of the Moon perfectly eclipsing the Sun may
be a condition for optimally habitable planets and that habitable star systems can be modeled under a
common idea that might imply that life is part of a Universal natural process.
I am particular about story telling, especially short stories. In the second section I present a short story
about how the rudiments for a theory of everything unfolded. I hope by relating this story you can share in
the joy of discovery that came in this adventure which took place in the mind and on paper. It is a journey
into the microcosmos, and out into the vast expanse of the Universe. What took shape here instills a sense
of mystery in me in that it formulates the magic that is in the Universe in elegant symbolic language,
mathematics.
Some of the intriguing things we will find is that the fundamental particle that makes up atoms, the
proton, has a characteristic time of a second. We will find the ground state of our Solar System is
described by the Earth’s moon and has a characteristic time of one second. We will find that the Planck-
type constant for the Solar System is given by the Earth’s orbital kinetic energy multiplied by 1 second,
where Earth is the planet in the Solar System optimized for life. We will find that the 24 hour day (the
rotation period of the Earth) which is what it is today, has a characteristic time of one second. We will see
that the Earth orbital energy state as a solution to the quantum mechanical wave equation uses the Earth’s
moon to normalize the Sun’s size, giving it a size of 400. We will see that the condition for the Moon
orbiting the Earth such that it perfectly eclipses the Sun may be a condition for optimally habitable
planets in the habitable zones of stars in general. And, we will see the mass, size, and rotational frequency
of the Earth is conducive to the base 60 counting of the ancient Sumerians which is responsible for the
unit of the second we have today as our base unit to measure time. All of this I see as quite magical and
seems to me to suggest that the Earth/Moon/Sun system is this way for a reason, that there may be a
mysterious force behind it. Let’s begin with a quote from Carl Sagan…
