The Unfolding Of The Rudiments For A Theory Of Everything
It all started when I was trying to work out a theory for inertia, that property of matter to resist
change in motion: when you push on it, it pushes back. The more of it there is, the more it
pushes back. I had decided to start with the constants, like the gravitational constant, because
I figured they measured the properties of space and time. I eventually wrote an expression that
to my surprise was equal to 1 second:!
!
the radius of a proton, its mass, the constant of gravitation, the speed of light,
Planck’s constant, and the fine structure constant. I found that interesting and figured if the
proton was characterized by the second, and the second came from the ancient Sumerians
dividing-up the rotation period of the Earth into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each
minute into 60 seconds from their base 12 and base 60 mathematics, that it had to have
something to do with the celestial motions and periods they observed in the sky, that if the
second was natural, then it would be in the motions of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and stars. My first
guess, which panned out, was that the kinetic energy of the Moon to the kinetic energy of the
Earth times the 24 hour day, should be one second, or close to it. At first I found it was close to
it, but then I made an adjustment for the Earth’s tilt to its orbit of and it came out
exact for all practical purposes. I got!
!
the kinetic energy of the Moon, the kinetic energy of the Earth, and EarthDay is 24
hours (86,400 seconds, the rotation period of the Earth). I then thought this was quantum
mechanical and that I should make a Planck-type constant for the Solar System, . I found it
was in this very equation because it is in joule-seconds which could be the kinetic energy of
the earth times one second in the above equation, so I had:!
!
I then thought I don’t need to solve the Schrodinger Wave equation of quantum mechanics for
the Solar System, but just look at the equations of Niels Bohr for the Bohr model of the atom,
which he wrote down before the Schrodinger equation existed from suggesting the proton had
discreet orbitals for the electrons and was quantized by , the Planck constant. He didn’t know
why or how it quantized like this by integer multiples of , but he found it worked. He was
inspired to do this by the emission spectra of hydrogen for different energies, he suggested
after the electron jumped from one orbital to another by adding energy, that when it fell back in
it would emit light of a particular frequency. So I looked at his equation for the energies of
orbitals and their orbital distances :!
