Preface
In early versions of the the theory I used the stiffness, or pliability of space to formulate my
one-second characteristic time for a theory of inertia that predicts the mass of of the proton,
electron, and neutron in one master equation. Later, I presented another mechanism for the 1-
second characteristic time that used vacuum fluctuation. However, recent developments in the
theory have lead to returning to a theory utilizing a stiffness, or pliability of space. Here we
present the theory in those terms."

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 ( )

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.

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.

fundamental particles appears identically in solar system dynamics, creating a mathematical

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.

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
mathematical harmony and empirical precision while maintaining full consistency with special
and general relativity.
8.3 Future Directions
The theory suggests several testable predictions and research directions:
•
Precision measurements of the proton radius to test the Fibonacci-optimized prediction
m
•
Experimental tests of the extremely weak normal force N
•
Further investigation of solar system quantum analogs in exoplanetary systems
•
Exploration of the connection between spacetime stiffness and other fundamental
phenomena
Defending The Theory
The idea is we find:
works with the proton radius what it is, and that of the neutron radius and classical electron
radius. So, the natural constant is 1 second, much in the same way in Newton's Universal Law of

We see at this point we have to set the expression equal to $\phi$. We explain why this is in a
minute:
The radius of a proton is then:
Something incredible regarding the connection between microscales (the atom's proton) and
macroscales (the solar system) if you want to get very close to modern measurements of the
proton and as well exactly a characteristic time of one second. The radius of a proton is not
constant, but depends of the nature of the experiment, because protons are thought to be a fuzzy
cloud of subatomic particles. We see if we don't use in our equations for protons and the
characteristic time of one second, but the right ratio of terms in the fibonacci sequence that are
approximations to , we find that the ratio is 5/8 from the sequence:
If 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,... is the fibonacci sequence whose successive terms converge on , the
golden ratio, then the two terms that come closest to this are 5/8 = 0.625.
This is a characteristic time from:

Gives the radius of a proton to be:
With this, while we get very close to one second (1.0007 seconds) with the fibonacci ratio of 5/8
we also get something very much in line with the most recent measurement for the radius of a
proton ( ).
Relativistic Consistency: The equations use invariant quantities: rest masses , proper radii ,
and fundamental constants , , . Therefore the 1-second result is Lorentz invariant, ensuring
the theory's consistency with special relativity. A proton moving at relativistic speeds has the
same characteristic second, just as it has the same rest mass and charge.
Defending the Planetary System Theory
We say the Solar System Planck-type constant is given by"
And, more accurately as (using the fibonacci approximation of 2/3)
where,
But we say so because we know it is right from the delocalization time of the Earth which is
given as follows…

Now let’s compute a half a year…
(1/2)(365.25)(24)(60)(60)=15778800 seconds
So we see our delocalization time is very close to the half year over which the Earth and
Moon travel from one position to the opposite side of the Sun. The closeness is

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
