Exoarchaeology: The Genesis Project
A Proof of the 1-Second Invariant and Its Cosmic Encoding
Ian Beardsley — Exoarchaeology Research Initiative — February 2026
Abstract. This document synthesizes the logical core of the Genesis Project
framework. It demonstrates, through two independent derivations at the quantum
scale and two independent derivations at the celestial scale, that the second—
humanity’s fundamental unit of time—emerges naturally from the constants of nature.
The proton mass is shown to be a function of a fundamental “normal force”
with . The electron, as the elementary charge quanta, yields the
same 1second invariant with ; the proton and neutron require —a
pattern that constitutes a natural law. The Moon acts as a universal metric,
connecting the Earth/Sun system to the same invariant. Carbon, with six protons,
embodies the biological second. The archaeological record encodes this knowledge
through the number 86,400, the heartbeat, and the megalithic yard. The proof is
presented without reliance on the factor 5 Planck proton bridge; it rests solely on
measured constants and the derived hierarchy.
1. Introduction: The 1-Second Pivot
The second is conventionally defined by atomic transitions, yet its magnitude—1/86,400
of a solar day—originates in ancient Sumerian base 60 arithmetic and the 24 hour day.
The central claim of the Genesis Project is that this number is not arbitrary. Instead, it
emerges from a dense web of dimensionless relations linking the proton, the electron,
the Earth/Moon/Sun system, and carbon chemistry. This document reconstructs the
proof in its minimal, most rigorous form.
All constants are taken from CODATA 2018 and the 2019 proton radius measurement
by Bezginov et al. ( ). Orbital velocities use perihelion/aphelion values for
near circular orbits.
2. Two Independent Proton-Second Equations
The proton mass and radius satisfy two distinct equations, each yielding exactly 1
second when evaluated with the fine structure constant , the golden ratio (Fibonacci
approximants), and the fundamental constants .
