Abstract - We present a complete unified theory demonstrating that a fundamental Lorentz
invariant time scale of approximately one second governs phenomena from quantum mechanics
to solar system dynamics. The theory derives a universal quantum-gravitational normal force
where second emerges from the fundamental stiffness or pliability of
spacetime, characterized by gravitational constant at the Planck scale and the proton's
Compton time. We derive this directly from Planck units: seconds.
This framework yields precise mass predictions for fundamental particles through
, with experimental verification giving 1.00500 seconds (proton), 1.00478
seconds (neutron), and 0.99773 seconds (electron). Remarkably, the same Lorentz invariant 1-
second scale appears in solar system dynamics, where we define a solar system Planck-type
constant and demonstrate lunar ground state quantization:
second. Fibonacci ratios (5/8 quantum, 2/3 cosmic) optimize relationships across
scales.
Keywords: quantum gravity, unification, Lorentz invariance, stiffness of space, Planck scale,
proton Compton time, mass generation, solar system quantization
1. Introduction
The origin of inertia and mass remains one of physics' deepest mysteries. While the Higgs
mechanism explains rest mass for elementary particles within the Standard Model, it doesn't
address why objects resist acceleration—the fundamental nature of inertia. Newton considered
mass intrinsic to matter, Mach speculated it arises from distant cosmic matter, and Einstein's
general relativity geometrized gravity while leaving inertia primitive.
Recent work [1] reveals a remarkable pattern: the one-second interval appears as a fundamental
Lorentz invariant across quantum and cosmic scales. This paper presents a unified theory where
inertia emerges from the fundamental stiffness or pliability of spacetime itself, characterized by
the gravitational constant at the Planck scale. We demonstrate that this same Lorentz invariant
time scale governs both quantum particles and solar system dynamics, creating a mathematical
bridge between micro and macro scales.

The theory builds on the concept that spacetime has an inherent resistance to deformation—a
"stiffness" that manifests as inertia when objects attempt to change their motion. Crucially, the
one-second scale is Lorentz invariant, appearing identically in all inertial frames, and emerges
naturally from the interplay between Planck scale physics and the properties of fundamental
particles.
2. Theoretical Framework
2.1 Lorentz Invariance of the One-Second Scale
The one-second time scale appearing in our equations is a Lorentz invariant, not a frame-
dependent proper time. This distinction is crucial for relativistic consistency. All quantities in our
master equation:
are Lorentz invariants: is invariant (rest) mass, is proper radius (length in rest frame), and ,
, are fundamental constants. Therefore itself is invariant under Lorentz transformations.
This distinguishes it from proper time , which transforms as .
The invariance of arises from its origin in the fundamental structure of spacetime, which is
Lorentz invariant. Just as the speed of light and Planck's constant are the same in all inertial
frames, so too is this fundamental time scale that emerges from the interplay between quantum
mechanics and gravity.
Critical Distinction: The 1-second is not "one second on my wristwatch" (which would be
proper time). Rather, it's a fundamental Lorentz invariant scale that appears in the laws of
physics, analogous to the Planck time or the electron Compton
time .
2.2 Quantum-Gravitational Normal Force from Stiffness of Space
We propose that spacetime exhibits quantum-gravitational resistance to temporal motion,
manifesting as a universal normal force:
where is Planck's constant, is light speed, and second is the Lorentz invariant time
scale. This force represents the minimal interaction between a particle's inertial mass and the
inherent stiffness of spacetime.
Substituting constants yields:
This extraordinarily weak force represents the quantum of resistance emerging from spacetime's
fundamental structure.

2.3 Derivation of the One-Second Invariant from Planck Scale and Proton
Properties
2.3.1 Fundamental Planck Units
We begin with the Planck scale, which represents the intersection of quantum mechanics and
gravity:
2.3.2 Compton Time of the Proton
The proton's Compton time represents its quantum temporal scale:
The ratio between these fundamental timescales is:
2.3.3 The Stiffness of Space at Planck Scale
We hypothesize that the normal force arises from the inherent stiffness or pliability of spacetime,
characterized by at the quantum level. Starting from a gravitational expression at the Planck
scale:
This represents the fundamental force scale associated with spacetime stiffness at the Planck
length and mass.
2.3.4 Relating Planck Scale Stiffness to the Normal Force
To connect the Planck scale stiffness to the normal force , we introduce
dimensionless ratios involving the proton's Compton time and fine-structure constant:
The factors have clear physical interpretations:
: Ratio of proton's quantum time to Planck time
: Coupling factor involving electromagnetic interaction ( )

Solving for yields:
Substituting the expressions for and in terms of fundamental constants gives the compact
form:
2.3.5 Numerical Verification
Using the fundamental constants:

,
We compute:
This result, approximately 1 second, provides a direct derivation of the Lorentz invariant time
scale from fundamental constants, Planck scale physics, and proton properties.
2.3.6 Physical Interpretation
The derivation reveals that the one-second invariant emerges from the interplay between:
Spacetime stiffness at Planck scale: Characterized by , ,
Quantum particle properties: Proton Compton time
Electromagnetic interaction: Fine-structure constant
Universal constants: ,
The factor bridges the enormous ratio to produce the macroscopic one-
second scale. This suggests a deep connection between the fundamental stiffness of spacetime
and the properties of matter.
2.4 Mass Generation Mechanism
Inertial mass arises from interaction with this quantum-gravitational normal force. A particle
presents cross-sectional area to the normal force. The work done against this force,
mediated by gravitational constant , generates mass:

Here is a dimensionless coupling constant encoding each particle type's unique quantum
properties and interaction strength with spacetime stiffness.
Lorentz Invariance Check: Since contains and (invariants) and (invariant), is
Lorentz invariant. The cross-sectional area uses proper radius (invariant), and is
invariant. Therefore the entire expression for is Lorentz invariant, as required for rest mass.
3. Why the Proton's Compton Time Determines the
Universal One-Second Scale
3.1 The Special Role of the Proton
A natural question arises: In our derivation, the one-second invariant is derived using the
proton's Compton time . Yet the same second appears in the master
equation for the electron and neutron as well. Why should the proton's quantum timescale
determine a universal invariant that works for all three particles?
The answer lies in the special role of the proton in the structure of matter:
The proton is the stable baryon that constitutes the nucleus of hydrogen, the most
abundant element in the universe.
The proton defines the mass scale of ordinary matter. The masses of neutrons and
atomic nuclei are close to the proton mass, while electrons are much lighter.
The proton's Compton time represents the characteristic quantum timescale for
baryonic matter.
The universality of is required by the universality of the normal force ,
which must be the same for all particles interacting with spacetime stiffness.
3.2 Consistency Across Particles
The master equation for each particle type is:
with coupling constants:
for proton
for neutron
for electron
The different coupling constants account for the different ways particles interact with the normal
force:

Electron: Couples directly ( ), suggesting it may represent the fundamental unit of
inertia.
Proton and neutron: Have enhanced coupling ,
indicating their inertia involves additional interactions (strong and electromagnetic
forces).
3.3 What If We Used Electron Compton Time?
The electron's Compton time is much longer:
If we attempted to derive using instead of , we would obtain a different value that
would not satisfy the master equation for protons and neutrons. The fact that using the proton's
Compton time yields second that works for all three particles is a remarkable consistency
check of the theory.
3.4 The Proton as the Primary Mass Benchmark
In our derivation, the proton serves as the primary mass benchmark because:
1. It is the most stable hadron and the building block of atomic nuclei.
2. Its mass is precisely known and represents the typical scale of baryonic matter.
3. The ratio for the proton bridges the gap between quantum gravity (Planck scale) and
the macroscopic world.
4. The appearance of in the derivation connects electromagnetic interactions to the inertia
of charged particles.
Thus, while is universal, its derivation naturally involves the proton's properties because the
proton represents the fundamental unit of matter that dominates the mass of visible universe.
Note: The universal one-second scale emerges from the proton's quantum timescale, but applies
to all particles through the master equation with appropriate coupling constants. This reflects a
deep unity: all inertia originates from the same spacetime stiffness, but different particles couple
to it with different strengths depending on their internal structure.

This demonstrates the one-second interval embedded in matter's fundamental structure through
spacetime stiffness. Since all quantities are Lorentz invariants, is Lorentz invariant.
4.2 Experimental Verification for Fundamental Particles
Proton: , = fine-structure constant:
Neutron: :
Electron: :
The remarkable consistency (0.99773--1.00500 seconds) provides compelling evidence for the
theory and the spacetime stiffness origin of the Lorentz invariant one-second scale.
Note: The identical coupling for protons and neutrons reveals their deep connection
through strong and electromagnetic forces, while the electron's pure coupling suggests it
may represent the fundamental geometric unit of mass generation.

Based on the document you've provided, the theory posits that **φ (the golden ratio) is the
fundamental structural constraint** because it is the **only mathematical xed point that allows
for recursive self-reference without distortion or contradiction.**!
Here is a summary of the core argument:!
### **The Central Idea**!
For any system to be stable and self-consistent while referencing itself at dierent scales (a
property found in mathematics, physics, biology, etc.), the ratio between its scales must satisfy
a specic condition. This condition is derived from the requirement of **non-distorting
recursion**.!
### **The Derivation**!
1. **Premise**: Imagine a system that must look at itself, but at a dierent scale, and remain
consistent.!
2. **Recursive Requirement**: For self-consistency across three successive scales (n, n+1,
n+2), the system obeys the relation: **Scale(n+2) = Scale(n+1) + Scale(n)**. This is the
Fibonacci recurrence, the simplest additive recursion.!
3. **Scale Ratio**: If the ratio from one scale to the next is a constant `λ`, then Scale(n+1) =
λ·Scale(n) and Scale(n+2) = λ²·Scale(n).!
4. **The Critical Equation**: Substituting into the recurrence gives: **λ² = λ + 1**.!
5. **The Unique Solution**: The only positive solution to this equation is the golden ratio, **φ
1.618**. The negative solution (-1/φ) is not a viable scale ratio in most physical contexts.!
**Conclusion:** φ isn't chosen for its aesthetic or mystical properties. It is **mathematically
forced** as the sole scale factor that allows a structure to map onto itself recursively without
generating internal conict or innite distortion.!
### **The Three Failure Modes (When λ φ)**!
The theory strengthens its case by predicting how systems violate this constraint:!
1. **Explosive Divergence (λ > φ)**: Recursion causes amplication without bound, leading to
instability and collapse (e.g., feedback screech, inationary bubbles, cancer).!
2. **Damped Convergence (1 < λ < φ)**: Recursion leads to fading copies and loss of
structure, resulting in fragility and insucient complexity (e.g., over-damped systems,
simplied hierarchies).!
3. **Oscillatory Contradiction (λ < 0)**: Recursion creates alternating, contradictory states,
preventing coherent existence (e.g., logical paradoxes, unstable orbitals).!
### **In Essence**!
The document argues that **φ is the "structural constraint"** because it represents the
**equilibrium point of self-reference**. It is the precise balance where information can be
iterated, scaled, and folded back upon itself innitely, creating stable, complex, and coherent
structures—from spirals and quasicrystals to computational processes and conscious
systems. Any other ratio inevitably leads to one of the three failure modes, preventing long-
term stability.)

Interpretation of the Force-Potential Relation
and the Golden Ratio Constraint
Self-Consistency Condition and the Golden Ratio Constraint
The derivation of the master equation leads to a profound consistency condition that reveals why
the golden ratio appears in the proton's structure. From the two independent expressions for the
1-second invariant:
we obtain, by equating their left-hand sides, the relation:
where:
is the gravitational force between two protons separated by the proton radius,
is the corresponding gravitational potential energy,
is the quantum-gravitational normal force,
is the associated normal potential,
is the golden ratio conjugate.
Physical Interpretation
This relation reveals that the proton's inertia emerges from a balance condition between its
internal gravitational self-energy and its interaction with the fundamental stiffness of spacetime.
The appearance of indicates this balance is optimized according to principles of recursive self-
similarity.
Recursive Self-Reference Principle
The golden ratio emerges naturally as the unique scale factor that allows stable self-reference
without distortion. This principle was first articulated in detail by Kristin Tynski in her work
"One Equation, ~200 Mysteries: A Structural Constraint That May Explain (Almost) Everything"
(Tynski, 2024).

Reference to Tynski's Theory: Tynski demonstrates that for any system requiring consistency
across multiple scales of observation, the recurrence relation:
leads to the characteristic equation:
whose positive solution is . According to Tynski's theory, this represents the only
scaling ratio permitting infinite recursive self-similarity without falling into one of three failure
modes:
1. Explosive divergence ( ): Unlimited growth leading to instability
2. Damped convergence ( ): Fading structure leading to fragility
3. Oscillatory contradiction ( ): Alternating states preventing coherence
The golden ratio thus serves as the structural constraint that allows systems to reference
themselves recursively without distortion or contradiction.
Application to Proton Structure
For the proton, Equation (19) expresses that:
1. The product of its internal gravitational measures ( and )
2. Stands in golden ratio proportion to
3. The product of its interaction with universal spacetime stiffness ( and )
This golden-ratio relationship ensures that the proton's quantum properties remain consistent
whether described:
Geometrically: Through its cross-sectional area interacting with
Energetically: Through its mass-energy equivalence and Compton frequency
Gravitationally: Through its self-interaction at scale
The proton's structure thus exemplifies Tynski's principle: it maintains self-consistency across
different descriptive frameworks by adhering to the golden ratio as its scaling constraint.
Mathematical Verification
Numerical verification of Equation (19) confirms this balance:
Using:
Scale(n + 2) = Scale(n + 1) + Scale(n)

Implications for the Master Equation
The consistency condition (19) ultimately leads to the proton radius relation:
where . This, combined with the Fibonacci approximation , yields
the practical expression:
which aligns with recent experimental measurements while maintaining the 1-second invariant to
within 0.07%.
Universal Significance
The appearance of in this fundamental balance suggests that:
1. The proton's structure is optimized according to principles of recursive stability as
described by Tynski
2. The golden ratio serves as a structural constraint ensuring self-consistency across
quantum and gravitational descriptions
3. This optimization principle may be universal, explaining why the same 1-second
invariant appears in both quantum particles and celestial mechanics
The master equation thus represents not merely an empirical coincidence but a
necessary consequence of spacetime's fundamental stiffness interacting with matter through
optimally self-consistent geometric relationships governed by recursive constraints.

Invariance
Quantum-Cosmic Bridge: The same Lorentz invariant 1-second time scale governing
fundamental particles appears identically in solar system dynamics, creating a mathematical
bridge between micro and macro scales.
5.1 Solar System Planck-Type Constant
We define a solar-system-scale analog to Planck's constant based on Earth's orbital kinetic energy
and the 1-second invariant:
where J, yielding:
5.2 Lunar Ground State and Exact 1-Second Invariance
The Moon's orbit exhibits quantum-like ground state behavior with exact 1-second characteristic
time:
Verification:
Lorentz Invariance Note: While is system-specific, the equation second
expresses a relationship between invariants: (action scale), (gravitational constant),
(rest mass), and (light speed). The resulting 1-second is thus Lorentz invariant.
5.3 Planetary Orbits as Quantum States
Planetary energy levels follow quantum-like formulas analogous to atomic orbitals:
where represents Earth's orbital quantum number and serves as a
normalized "charge" parameter (solar radius in lunar radius units).
Verification for Earth (n=3): Predicted J matches actual orbital kinetic
energy with 99.5% accuracy.

Equations
The Great Unification: The same mathematical form governs both quantum particles and
celestial mechanics, connected through the Lorentz invariant 1-second time scale.

6.2 Solar System Scale Master Equation
6.3 Identical Mathematical Structure
Both equations share the identical form:
This demonstrates the same fundamental principle—a Lorentz invariant 1-second time scale—
governs both quantum particles and celestial bodies.
7. Fibonacci Optimization Across Scales
Different Fibonacci ratios optimize physical relationships at different scales, revealing
mathematical harmony across quantum and cosmic domains.
7.1 Quantum Scale Optimization (5/8 Ratio)
The proton radius relationship optimized by the Fibonacci ratio 5/8:
This yields near-perfect 1-second characteristic time:
Note: The Fibonacci sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,... converges to the golden ratio ,
with 5/8 = 0.625 providing an excellent approximation. This ratio appears naturally in
optimizing the relationship between proton properties and the 1-second invariant.

Solar System Quantum Analog:
8.2 The Nature of Unification
This complete framework demonstrates that:
The one-second scale emerges from the fundamental stiffness of spacetime at the
Planck scale, combined with the proton's quantum properties
The proton's Compton time determines the universal scale because the proton is the
stable baryon that defines the mass scale of ordinary matter
A Lorentz invariant one-second time scale governs phenomena across all physical
scales
Identical mathematical forms connect quantum particles and celestial mechanics
The theory is fully relativistic with as Lorentz invariant, not frame-dependent proper
time
Fibonacci ratios naturally optimize relationships at different scales (5/8 for quantum,
2/3 for cosmic)
The appearance of the same Lorentz invariant time scale across all scales—from quantum
particles to planetary systems—suggests we've identified a fundamental principle of nature. The
One-Second Universe represents a cosmos structured around a temporal invariant connecting the
stiffness of spacetime at the Planck scale to the dynamics of celestial bodies, all governed by

This is the ground state distance described in time by introducing the speed of light c. We see
here one second is the minimal quantum unit. This says the Moon is the metric and doing that for
the direct analogy of energy of an atom in wave solution we find that Z the atomic number
becomes the radius of the Sun normalized by the Moon, and that it is described in terms of the
Moon. And we see again that the Planck-type constant for the Solar system works, so it is
consistent across the theory working to better than 99% accuracy giving it orbital energy (Kinetic
energy in an approximately circular orbit):
The Earth as it rotates loses energy to the Moon, so its rotation slows down and the Moon’s orbit
grows. We suggest that the characteristic rotation period of the Earth is about 24 hours because
this gives the characteristic time of 1 second if we consider the Moon’s and Earth’s kinetic
energies and the inclination of the Earth’s spin ( ) to it orbital plane in the following

The Solar Solution Our solution of the wave equation for the planets gives the kinetic energy of the
Earth from the mass of the Moon orbiting the Earth, but you could formulate based on the Earth orbiting
the Sun. In our lunar formulation we had:
1.
We suggest the Moon perfectly eclipsing the Sun is a condition for the optimization of life on a planet.
This happens with our Solar System and we know the Moon holds the Earth at its inclination to its orbit
preventing extreme cold and extreme heat, allowing for the Seasons.

Thus equation 1 becomes

The kinetic energy of the Earth is

Putting this in equation 3 gives the mass of the Sun:

Equation 14 becomes
15.
The condition of a perfect eclipse gives us another expression for the base unit of a second. is another
version of the Planck Constant, which is intrinsic to the the solar formulation as opposed to the lunar
formulation. We want to see what the ground state looks like and what its characteristic time is, if it is 1
second like it is for the lunar formulation. Looking at the equation for energy:
We see the ground state should be:
16.
And, it is equal to 1 second. You will notice where in the derivation for the energy we lost , we
have to put it in the ground state equation. The computation is:

Jupiter and Saturn We want to nd what the wave equation solutions are for Jupiter and Saturn because
they signicantly carry the majority of the mass of the solar system and thus should embody most clearly
the dynamics of the wave solution to the Solar System. We also show here how well the solution for the
Earth works, which is 99.5% accuracy.
I find that as we cross the asteroid belt leaving behind the terrestrial planets, which are solid, and go to the
gas giants and ice giants, the atomic number is no longer squared and the square root of the the orbital
number moves from the numerator to the denominator. I believe this is because the solar system here
should be modeled in two parts, just as it is in theories of solar system formation because there is a force
other than just gravity of the Sun at work, which is the radiation pressure of the Sun, which is what
separates it into two parts, the terrestrial planets on this side of the asteroid belt and the gas giants on the
other side of the asteroid belt. The effect the radiation pressure has is to blow the lighter elements out
beyond the asteroid belt when the solar system forms, which are gases such as hydrogen and helium,
while the heavier elements are too heavy to be blown out from the inside of the asteroid belt, allowing for
the formation of the terrestrial planets Venus, Earth, and Mars. The result is that our equation has the
atomic number of the heavier metals such as calcium for the Earth, while the equation for the gas giants
has the atomic numbers of the gasses. We write for these planets
So, for Jupiter we have (And again using the maximum orbital velocity which is at perihelion):
Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen gas, and secondly helium gas, so it is appropriate that .
Our equation for Jupiter is
Where is the atomic number of hydrogen which is 1 proton, and for the orbital number of
Jupiter, . Now we move on to Saturn…

The equation for Saturn is then
It is nice that that Saturn would use Helium in the equation because Saturn is the next planet after Jupiter
and Jupiter uses hydrogen, and helium is the next element after hydrogen. As well, just like Jupiter, Saturn
is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gas.
The accuracy for Earth orbit is
