Abstract It is reported here that planetary and atomic scales (the proton) may be described by a
characteristic time of about 1 second, where the second we have today comes from the ancient Sumerians
having divided the Earth rotation period into 24 units (hours) and their base 60 counting system that
ultimately resulted in dividing the hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. We find the
ground state of the our solar system is based on the mass of the Moon, and that the algebraic condition for
the Moon nearly perfectly eclipsing the Sun may be a condition for optimal habitability of earth-like
planets in habitable zones in general. It is found from a relationship in Vedic yoga that an equation exists
for the radius of the habitable planet that produces a planetary radius for all spectral-types of stars about
that of the Earth. It is suggested that perhaps this size, owing to its gravity, might be ideal for life
chemistry to take place based on elemental properties. It is found that our characteristic time of one
second, yielding the proton radius closely, and describing our Solar System, may have been inherited
from the Big Bang, and that the the protoplanetary disc that gave rise to the the planets may have
inherited this characteristic time from the Big Bang as well. We find the characteristic time of one second
follows from not just the Sumerian quantization of time into (24, 60) for the earth rotation but that this
works with the radius and mass of the Earth, which results in a quantization of angular momentum for the
Solar System.. We also find that 1 second encodes for the core element of life, carbon. In short, we can
encode everything in the Universe from the Big Bang, to the proton, to the protoplanetary disc, to the
Solar System, to life with one unit, a second of time.
The Theory In the Bohr atom the radius of the electron’s orbit in the ground state (n=1) is given by

I have extended this to our solar system and found that the ground state of our solar system is based on
the Moon of our Earth. I have written

Yes, interestingly it is equal to 1 second, our base unit of time that ultimately came from the way the

Babylonians. is the mass of the Moon, and is the Planck-type constant I have proposed for the

Where is the kinetic energy of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. We see the the third planet from
the Sun, the Earth, determines its Planck constant in terms of the same unit of a second. I also find that the
kinetic energy of the Moon to the kinetic energy of the Earth, that quantity times the Earth rotation period
(24 hours, its day) is close to a second, about 1.2 to 1.3 seconds depending whether you use aphelion or
perihelions, and in what combination. That is
5.
Earth day=(24)(60)(60)=86,400 seconds. Using the Moon’s orbital velocity at aphelion, and Earth’s
orbital velocity at perihelion we have:
If the second were purely arbitrary, we should expect this ratio to not be so close to 1 second. I also find
that the proton has a characteristic time of 1 second in two forms that when equated give about the radius
of the proton:
6.
7.
Equating these two yield the radius of a proton, in terms of its mass :
8.
I nd if I replace 2/3 with , we may have exactly the radius of a proton
9.
This may show an underlying optimization principle where occurs in biological and cosmic structures. I
nd I can arrive at this radius of a proton another way, 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
Since our theory gave us the factor of 2/3 for the radius of a proton we have:
The radius of a proton is then
This is very close to the value upon which the proton radius converged historically by two independent
methods which was 0.877E-15m. The result from our theory is
The 0.877fm was challenged in 2010 by a third experiment making it 4% smaller and was 0.842E-15m.
We nd it may be that the radius of a proton is actually
Where is the golden ratio. The most recent value is 0.833E-15m. I guessed since one second
comes from the ancient Sumerians dividing the Earth day (rotation period) into 24 hours, and those into
60 minutes, and those into 60 seconds, that this has to do with the rotational angular momentum of the
Earth, . I found

The value is 2.5 which by modeling our Solar System is found to be the exponent in the pressure gradient
for the protoplanetary disc from which our Solar System formed. That is I found
12.
the pressure of the disc as a function of radius. Which suggests that the structure of the protoplanetary
disc could be governed by the same fundamental time of one second in the Earth’s rotation and that the
Earth’s formation process may be encoded in the same number we developed since ancient times to
describe time (24, 60). This is the solution to:
13.
The protoplanetary disc that evolves into the planets has two forces that balance its pressure, the
centripetal force of the gas disc due to its rotation around the protostar and the inward gravitational
force on the disc from the protostar , and these are related by the density of the gas that makes
up the disc. It is the pressure gradient of the disc in radial equilibrium balancing the inward gravity and
outward centripetal force. In order to apply this to other star systems, we have to be able to predict the
radius of the habitable planet, presumably in the n=3 orbit. I found the answer to be in the Vedic literature
of India. They noticed that the diameter of the Sun is about 108 times the diameter of the Earth and that
the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is about 108 solar diameters, with 108 being a signicant
number in Yoga. So I wrote the equivalent:
14.
The surprising result I found was, after applying it to the stars of many spectral types, with their different
radii and luminosities (the luminosities determine , the distances to the habitable zones) that the
radius of the planet always came out about the same, about the radius of the Earth. This may suggest
optimally habitable planets are not just a function of the distance from the star, which determines their
temperature, but are functions of their size and gravity probably because it is good for life chemistry. Here
are just a few examples using the data for several spectral types:

As you can see we consistently get about 1 Earth radius for the radius of every planet in the habitable
zone of each type of star. It might be that radius is right for life in terms of gravity and densities for the
elements. I got these these results for the stars from spectral types F5V to K3V.
In order to get , the distance of the habitable planet from the star, we use the inverse square law for
luminosity of the star. If the Earth is in the habitable zone, and if the star is one hundred times brighter
than the Sun, then by the inverse square law the distance to the habitable zone of the planet is 10 times
that of what the Earth is from the Sun. Thus we have in astronomical units the habitable zone of a star is
given by:
15.
Also, the theory utilizes the fact that the Moon as seen from the Earth perfectly eclipses the Sun as a
possible condition for optimal habitability of the planet, which is

Orbital radius of the planet to that of the moon is radius of the star to that of the moon. It is known that
the Moon has a lot to do with the conditions for life on Earth being good because its orbit holds the Earth
at its inclination to Sun its orbit preventing temperature extremes and allowing for the seasons. The
Schrödinger Wave Equation must be solved to determine the energies and orbitals of the electron in the
hydrogen atom. In spherical coordinates it is

is the solar radius, that of the Moon. For Earth , third planet. For a star brighter than the Sun,
more massive, larger, it may be that in many cases the habitable zone, which is further out, still is the n=3
orbit for planets because the distribution of the planets might be stretched out putting the n=3 planet in the
habitable zone. The same may be true of stars that are dimmer, less massive and smaller, because the
planet distribution might be tighter. Since the n=3 habitable zone in such a scenario is closer in, n=3
might be in the habitable zone. While we don’t have complete data for brighter stars, like F stars, we do
for dimmer stars because it is easier to obtain and a good example of this is the M2V star TOI 700. We
have found four exoplanets around this star and TOI 700 e is an Earth-like planet in its habitable zone
which is also the third planet. With the equations so far we can solve planetary systems with a method that
is independent of orbit number, n. To solve the wave equation in the case of a protoplanetary disc you
would want the wave equation to be in cylindrical coordinates, to solve it looks like this, the time
independent Schrödinger equation is

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

The equation for Saturn is then
29.
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 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:
31.
We remember the Moon perfectly eclipses the Sun which is to say
32.
Thus equation 31 becomes
33.
The kinetic energy of the Earth is
34.
Putting this in equation 33 gives the mass of the Sun:
35.
We recognize that the orbital velocity of the Moon is
36.
So equation 35 becomes
37.
This gives the mass of the Moon is
38.
Putting this in equation 31 yields
39.

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.
The Protoplanetary Disc If the characteristic time for both the solar system
and the proton
are 1 second, then the characteristic time of 1 second should be in the protoplanetary disc from which the
planets formed. I would guess it would be in the time between collisions of particles in the protoplanetary
disc. Ultimately, the planets form from these collisions. The time between collisions in the protoplanetary
disc are given by
1. Particle number density n ( the number of particles per unit volume).
2. Relative velocity between particles .
3. Particle cross-section (related to particle size).
For micron to millimeter sized grains in a dense inner region of the protoplanetary disc (like about 1 AU
from the star, which is the Earth orbit) the range of these values are:
1. particles per meter cubed (from disc models)
2. Particles sizes are meters.
3. Relative velocities of particles are as driven by Brownian motion, turbulence, and
gas drag.
We can imagine a scenario where this yields 1 second by using typical values:

suggests that the proton’s fundamental structure encodes a natural unit of time, the presence of G, h, and c
may emerge from a balance between gravity, quantum mechanics, and relativistic effects. Since the
equation for the characteristic time of the solar system
indicates that the solar system is quantized by planetary formation processes in a way that maintains a
fundamental unit of periodicity of 1 second. So we are connecting the formation of entire planetary
systems to the fundamental structure of matter itself (the protons). A micron-sized dust grain at about
10E-12 grams, has about 10E11 protons, a millimeter sized dust grain, about 10E-6 grams, has about
10E17 protons. But where did these dust grains come from? They formed in the protoplanetary gas cloud
from elements, mostly hydrogen and helium, and elements like C, O, Si, and Fe, that formed from
hydrogen and helium in stars by nucleosynthesis. The heavier elements are made from hydrogen and
helium in stars then later expelled into space by supernovae. But where did the hydrogen (and some of the
helium) come from? They were made in the Big Bang, so we should be able to track the characteristic
time of the solar system, and proton back to the Big Bang and the formation of the Universe.
The Big Bang In other words, if the planetary system inherits a characteristic time of 1 second from the
dust grains in the protoplanetary disc, and the dust grains inherit a characteristic time of 1 second from the
elements, and elements inherit the characteristic time of 1 second from the proton, then we would guess
that the proton inherits the characteristic time of 1 second from its origins in the Big Bang that gave birth
to the Universe. And, indeed it does:
Big Bang
(time=1second)
Around one second after the Big Bang, the universe had cooled enough that neutrinos decoupled, and
protons and neutrons were forming in equilibrium, this is the moment when baryons (protons/neutrons)
become stable, linking the 1-second time unit to matter itself.
(time=1-3 minutes)
At this time the rst atomic nuclei (H, He, Li) form.
Thus the 1-second time unit marks when the proton’s number became xed in the Universe, given by our

is a little under a second. These equations contain the fundamental constants related to gravity (G),
quantum mechanics (h), relativity (c), and electromagnetism ( ), constants that cover the fundamental
forces that shaped the early Universe. G, h, c, and control the rate of interaction in the early universe,
including weak interactions, and gravity, which govern proton stability and neutrino decoupling. Thus,
our equations describe the fundamental physics at t=1 second, conrming that this time is deeply
embedded in the structure of the Universe. This means the 1-second characteristic time was imprinted at
the birth of the Universe then inherited by the proton through fundamental constants, planetary systems
(through particles interactions in the protoplanetary discs), galaxies and cosmic evolution because protons
make up most of the universes baryonic matter. My equations link proton properties to 1-second, and
protons were xed in the Universe at 1 second, meaning we could be seeing a universal clock that has
inuenced everything since the Big Bang.
How is it gured that the protons and neutrons stopped converting into one another and their numbers in
the Universe became set? The idea is that neutrino decoupling (neutrinos stop interacting with one

expansion rate of the Universe is given by
Where is the Plank mass is about 1.22E19GeV. and have units of inverse time ( ). Neutrino
decoupling happens when
This happens when the temperature of the universe is which occurs at 1 second after the Big
Bang. We know this because temperature evolves with time as
Meaning that the universe had cooled to 1MeV after 1 second. Before decoupling, the universe was so
dense that protons and neutrons were constantly interconverting but because weak interaction stops
maintaining neutron-proton equilibrium at 1 second, the proton to neutron ratio freezes in. Neutrons are
unstable and decay with a half life of about 10 minutes, however when a few minutes after the bang they
start forming, with protons, helium-4 nuclei, they become stable. The protons don’t decay rapidly so you
end up with, after freezing, 6 times more protons than neutrons in the Universe, this explains why 25% of
mass of the universe is helium. It is about 75% hydrogen.
The expansion rate of the Universe is governed by the Friedmann equation

And we have . We can now put in equation 1.0
Which here is 1 second for the Earth, to get the mass of the moon, . But to use equation 5, we need
from equation 3.0. This requires the mass of the Earth, the frequency of the earth, which we get
from the planet’s day (Its rotation rate) and the radius of the planet. We have all of these values for
habitable planets in a K2V star and an M2V star, but they are tidally locked. We have the frequencies
because the planets are tidally locked, so their planets rotation periods are equal to their orbital periods. If
we can’t measure the planet’s radius in another star system, we might obtain it from:
8.0.
Which works for the Earth. We can get the orbital radius of our Moon from
9.0.
It is given by the ratio of silver (Ag) to gold (Au). The radius of the planet’s moon we suggested is given
by a perfect eclipse:
10.0.
We have already applied our theory to the Earth/Moon/Sun System and it worked out nicely. Now we
want to apply this ideal approach we just outlined, to it, so we can test it. We start with the angular
momentum of the Earth. It is given by

So this gives the correct characteristic time for the Earth/Moon/Sun system. Lets compute the planet day
characteristic time
We see the system for modeling star systems works.
We can make a program to model star systems in general given the spectral class of the Star. So HR
diagrams plot mass versus luminosity to give spectral types of stars. So F Stars would be more luminous
blue stars, G stars would be yellow medium luminosity stars, and K stars would be less luminous orange
stars, and so on. There are ten divisions of each, and aV meaning “ve indicates the star is on the
main sequence. So our Sun is a G2V star. A medium luminosity, yellow star. Here is a my program in C
that does that for the method we just outlined.

Now we show running the program (3 examples) for a wide spread of spectral types including F, G, and
K-type stars. We will need to input in the program not just the mass of the star, its luminosity, and size,
but the pressure gradient exponent for the disc from which the stars planets formed.
To compute the moon’s orbital radius I just use
Where Ag is the molar mass of silver and Au is the molar mass of silver, a connection to the 1.8 that
appears in our Solar System. We use this because we know it works for our Solar System. I compute the
radius of the planet using
But, give the option of putting in your own radius. I have run the program for F5V stars, through GV
stars, to K3V stars and I use this equation to compute the radii of the planets because, again, we know it
works for our star system, and further we found given the way the radius of a star varies with with
luminosity in the HR diagram, this equation always gives a planet around the size of the Earth. I feel this
size is ideal for planets with sophisticated life because of the laws of chemistry determining a functional
density for the planet having water and the right gravity. As such I always use the planet day as one Earth
day, which again I feel is optimal for life in terms of climate. So these values all constant, we only vary
star mass, size, and luminosity as they work on the HR diagram. I also vary the pressure gradient
exponent now using the average theoretical values it has for each spectral class. The trend is that it
steadily decreases on average with mass and luminosity of the star though it can go up and down
depending on the peculiarities of the system. One of the reasons is that while for a G2V star it can range
on average from p= 1.7-2.1, for our Sun, a G2V star, it is actually high, it is 2.5. However, here we will
model stars with everything constant, as we said, but the pressure gradient will gradually decrease with
spectral class, and when we do a G2V star, we won’t use the Sun’s data, but the average value for G2V
stars. We will do lot’s of models, allowing no gaps in the data for a plot, so we can get a well defined
curve. We will use the upper value for p in instances here. The average pressure exponents by spectral
class are given in the following table…

Here is a plot of these results from F5V Stars to K3V stars:
We see the characteristic time decreases as a curve to intersect close
to a characteristic time of one second with a planet day
characteristic time of one second as a straight line at a G3V star, a
G5V star, and a G8V, which is a region near where our Sun is and may
have something to do with it being so optimal for life. We note here
that this uses the average value for a G2V star, and our Sun comes
closer to a second because its pressure exponent is higher than on
average, it is very high, or steep (p=2.5) which means the pressure of
its disc drops rapidly with distance.

Discussion One can speak of the structure of the long term structure of the solar system. The whole object
of developing a theory for the way planetary systems form is that they meet the following criterion: They
predict the Titius-Bode rule for the distribution of the planets; the distribution gives the planetary orbital
periods from Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation. The distribution of the planets is chiefly predicted
by three factors: The inward forces of gravity from the parent star, the outward pressure gradient from the
stellar production of radiation, and the outward inertial forces as a cloud collapses into a flat disc around
the central star. These forces separate the flat disc into rings, agglomerations of material, each ring from
which a different planet forms at its central distance from the star (they have widths). In a theory of
planetary formation from a primordial disc, it should predict the Titius-Bode rule for the distribution of
planets today, which was the distribution of the rings from which the planets formed.
Also, the Earth has been in the habitable zone since 4 billion years ago when it was at 0.9 AU. Today it is
at 1AU, and that habitable zone can continue to 1.2 AU. So we can speak of the distance to the Earth over
much time. The Earth and Sun formed about 4.6 billion years ago. As the Sun very slowly loses mass over
millions of years as it burns fuel doing fusion, the Earth slips microscopically further out in its orbit over
long periods of time. The Earth orbit increases by about 0.015 meters per year. The Sun only loses
0.00007% of its mass annually. The Earth is at 1AU=1.496E11m. We have 0.015m/1.496E11m/
AU=1.00267E-13AU. So,
The Earth will only move out one ten thousandth of an AU in a billion years. Anatomically modern
humans have only been around for about three hundred thousand years. Civilization began only about six
thousand years ago.
The unit of a second becomes important in my theory. We got the second from the rotation period of the
Earth at the time the moon came to perfectly eclipse the Sun. The Moon slows the Earth rotation and this
in turn expands the Moon’s orbit, so it is getting larger, the Earth loses energy to the Moon. The Earth day
gets longer by 0.0067 hours per million years, and the Moon’s orbit gets 3.78 cm larger per year.
That is as the Earth’s day gets longer and the lunar orbit grows larger, we got the second at the time that
the Earth day was what it is during the epoch when the Moon perfectly eclipses the Sun, 24 hours.
The near perfect eclipse is a mystery in the sense that it came to happen when anatomically modern
humans arrived on the scene, even before that, perhaps around Homo Erectus and the beginning of the
Stone Age. The Earth day was 18 hours long, long before that, 1.4 billion years ago. Homo Erectus is
around two to three million years ago.
1 Second Encodes The Core Element Of Life, Carbon I have found that the basis unit of one second is
not just a Natural constant for physical systems like the atom and the planets around the Sun but for the
basis of biological life, carbon, that 1 second produces carbon, six protons and in turn the hydrocarbons,
the chemical skeletons of life. I found

Where is the fine structure constant, is the radius of a proton, is the mass of a proton,

the Moon, is the kinetic energy of the Earth, and is the rotation period of the Earth is

From which instead of saying the left sides of these equations are seconds, we say they are proton-
seconds by not letting the units of cancel with the bodies of these equations on the left, which are in
units of mass, but rather divide into them, giving us a number of protons. I say this is the biological
because these are the hydrocarbons the backbones of biological chemistry. We see they display sixfold
symmetry. I can generate integer numbers of protons from the time values from these equations for all of
the elements with a computer program. Some results are:
A very interesting thing here is looking at the values generated by the program, the smallest integer value
1 second produces 6 protons (carbon) and the largest integer value 6 seconds produces one proton
(hydrogen). Beyond six seconds you have fractional protons, and the rest of the elements heavier than
carbon are formed by fractional seconds. These are the hydrocarbons the backbones of biological
chemistry. And carbon is the core element of life. We see the duration of the base unit of measuring time,
1 second, given to us by the ancients (the base 60, sexagesimal, system of counting of the Sumerians who
invented math and writing and started civilization), is perfect for the mathematical formulation of life
chemistry. Here is the code for the program, it finds integer solutions for time values, incremented by the

Conclusion We see that the proton and the planetary system can be described by a common characteristic
time of about 1 second to conveniently predict the proton’s radius and Earth orbit, possibly bridging
macroscopic and microscopic scales. We see this happens if the ground state of the solar system is given
by the mass of the Earth’s moon. It may be this is because the Earth-Moon system is the pivotal point in
our solar system where angular momentum is quantized for the whole system. We see that the condition
for the Moon perfectly eclipsing the Sun may have something to do with the optimal habitability of our
Earth, as the relationship is inherent in the mathematical structure of the Solar System. In short, we can
encode everything in the Universe from the Big Bang, to the proton, to the protoplanetary disc, to the
Solar System, to life with one unit, a second of time.
