From: Archimedes Plutonium on 19 Dec 2009 20:45 Chapter: Inverse-Fine-Structure Constant and proton to electron rest mass explained A true theory of physics has to explain why the Fine Structure Constant and the ratio of proton to electron mass, these two dimensionless constants are what they are. The Big Bang theory is silent when it comes to this explaining. The Atom Totality theory is at home and comfortable in explaining why these constants are what they are. Explains the inverse fine-structure constant of 137 Dirac's book DIRECTIONS IN PHYSICS states on page 73 : --- start of Dirac quote --- One of these dimensionless constants is the famous reciprocal of the fine-structure constant ((hbar) x c)/E^2 It is fundamental in the atomic theory, and it has the value of about 137. Another dimensionless constant is the ratio of the mass of the proton to the mass of the electron, that is to say, Mp/Me That constant has the value somewhere near 1840. --- end of Dirac quote --- A more accurate measurement as of this writing, the value is about 1836.1527. I demonstrate the meaning for both of these unitless markers of physics which Dirac talks. Dirac stated that physics will not go very far until someone can demonstrate the meaning of the fine-structure marker. I give the meaning for the ratio of proton mass divided by electron mass as follows. The unitless number of the proton mass divided by the electron mass is about 1836.1527 which is about 6(pi^5). The last electron subshell of a plutonium atom is 5f6. Notice that the two digits of 5 and 6 are in both 6(pi^5) and 5f6. So for the 6 electrons in the 5f energy shell gives 6(pi^5). When we atom, electron parts of a Plutonium Atom Totality measure the mass ratio of a proton to an electron inside of (superpositioned onto) a Plutonium Atom Totality then the unitless number results as 6(pi^5). In the next atom totality of element 95, the mass ratio of proton to electron as measured by sacks of life atoms of life in a 95th electron observable universe will be 7(pi^5). (A) THE MEANING OF THE INVERSE FINE-STRUCTURE MARKER FOR THE NEUTRONS. The physical meaning of the inverse fine-structure marker for the neutrons is the fact that there are exactly 137 neutrons in the nucleus of the Plutonium Atom Totality, which is the isotope 231(a)94. The inverse fine-structure marker is a variable in high energy physics. In many books it is written as a constant which is slightly more than the number 137, but this is incorrect with physics experiments. In high energy physics, the inverse fine-structure marker or the fine-structure marker, either one is a variable. But, over its range of values, the most frequent value of the inverse fine-structure marker is the number 137. Statistically the average value of the inverse fine-structure variable over its range of values from high energy physics to low energy physics is exactly 137. Because the totality is a dynamical system due to spontaneous neutron materialization,i.e. the creation of new matter in the universe in a logarithmic spiral rate, then the inverse fine-structure marker will increase with time since it is a reflection of the present atom totality that in the future it will increase to 138. The inverse fine-structure marker is exactly 137 neutrons in the collapsed wavefunction and in the uncollapsed wavefunction of 231(a)94 when the value of pi is taken as exactly equal to 22/7, the inverse fine-structure marker is exactly ((22/7)^7)/22. It is like QM, when a wave measurement is made in the double-slit experiment then the numbers are trigonometric, continuous. The measurement is continuous as pi is continuous and transcendental, not discrete as the Rational number approximation 22/7. A Rational number is a collapsed wavefunction into discreteness from pi as a transcendental number. But when a particle measurement in QM is made the numbers are discrete, Rational numbers. The Born statistical interpretation of how to get meaning out of quantum mechanics, is that you take the absolute square of the wave function (the wave function is Complex numbers with i values but the absolute square value are Real numbers), where psi is the solution to the Schroedinger equation. psi = a + ib, IpsiI^2 = psi' psi, IpsiI^2 = (a - ib)(a + ib), IpsiI^2 = (a^2) - (i^2b^2)-(iba)+ (iba), IpsiI^2 = a^2 + b^2, When psi = a1psi1 + a2psi2, these amplitudes have no physical meaning, but then the square of the amplitudes gives a probability density function which tells you the probability of finding an electron at a certain position at a given time, where psi'psi = (a1'psi1' + a2'psi2') x (a1psi1+ a2psi2) = Ia1I^2Ipsi1I^2 + Ia2I^2Ipsi2I^2 + a1a2'psi1psi2' + a1'a2psi1'psi2. Then one way in which you can interpret this square is that it is the probability of finding the electron at a certain position at a given time. In another interpretation, with a different set of eigenvalues, replacing electron position for the number of neutrons in the nucleus, then the wavefunction is a statistical average of the number of neutrons in the atom totality. Thus using a Born statistical interpretation of the probability amplitudes for the number of neutrons of the Plutonium Atom Totality is seen to be exactly the number 137. A list of some of the radioactive isotopes follows. A Born statistical interpretation would require all the radioactive elements after stable bismuth and would require a correlation with the relative abundance of these isotopes. Element @85, isotope 219(a)85 has 134 neutrons, 85 protons. No @85 isotope with 137 neutrons. Element @86, isotope 223(a)86 has 137 neutrons, 86 protons. Element @87, isotope 224(a)87 has 137 neutrons, 87 protons. Element @88, isotope 225(a)88 has 137 neutrons, 88 protons. Element @89, isotope 226(a)89 has137 neutrons, 89 protons. Element @90, isotope 227(a)90 has137 neutrons, 90 protons. Element @91, isotope 228(a)91 has 137 neutrons, 91 protons. Element @92, isotope 229(a)92 has 137 neutrons, 92 protons. Element @93, isotope 230(a)93 has137 neutrons, 93 protons. Plutonium isotopes 230(a)94, 232(a)94, 233(a)94, 234(a)94, 235(a)94, 236(a)94, 237(a)94, 238(a)94, 239(a)94, 240(a)94, 241(a)94, 242(a)94, 243(a)94, 244(a)94, 245(a)94, 246(a)94, have correspondingly 136, 138, 139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150, 151,152 neutrons, 94 protons. Element @95, isotope 232(a)95 has 137 neutrons, 95 protons. No element @96 with isotopes numbering 137 neutrons. In regards with the statistics of radioactive isotopes and stable isotopes I make the following conjecture. I speculate that in the future, with the atom totality theory as the mainstream physics, that we will be able to have a math and physics equation such as the Schrodinger Equation which is so good that the equation, call it the Isotope Equation (IE) will predict the exact number of possible isotopes for each element, both stable and unstable. It is my hope that since the fine-structure marker is a variable and not a constant that this variable range of values will be utilized to accurately predict the possible range of values of the number of neutrons each element can have. The theory will predict how many isotopes are possible for each atomic numbered element, and what is the range of possible mass numbers for the isotopes. Then the experimentalists will go out and make those isotopes and show that they are unable to make the impossible isotopes. But the fact of the Atom Totality and that it is 231(a)94 makes the predicting equation IE work. For example, in a 231(a)94 atom totality, element technetium and promethium can not have a stable isotope. (B) THE MEANING OF THE FINE-STRUCTURE MARKER FOR THE ELECTRONS. A very close derivation of the fine-structure constant of 1/137.036 was given in a maths journal. A math researcher, Wyler, considered a seven- dimensional pseudoorthogonal group. Five of the dimensions are real and two of the dimensions are imaginary. Wyler then calculated volume elements for the seven-dimensional group and for the subgroup of the five real dimensions, and takes their quotient. The result ((9/(8(pi^4)))((pi^5/((2^4)5!))^1/4)) is equated to the fine-structure constant. I now reinterpret Wyler's result. Of course in my reinterpretation, there are no dimensions beyond the 3rd and the fine-structure marker is not a constant due to physical experiments in high energy physics the fine-structure marker is really a variable. But continuing with the result ((9/(8(pi^4)))((pi^5/((2^4)5!))^1/4)), just as it was shown that Heisenberg's matrix theory was transformable to Schroedinger's wave mechanics, it can be shown that the 7-dimensional group is transformable to the principal quantum number n=7 of 231(a)94. See chart 1. The physical meaning of the fine-structure marker for the electrons is the geometry of the 7 electron shells for 231(a)94. And thus, I derive the fine-structure marker as exactly 22/((22/7)^7) when pi is in the collapsed wavefunction of pi = 22/7. Or I derive the inverse fine-structure marker of exactly 137 for the electrons as ((22/7)^7)/22, again in the collapsed wavefunction of pi = 22/7. A Plutonium Atom Totality would correlate the numbers of pi, e, 22/7, 19/7, (pi^7)/22, ((22/7)^7)/22, and 137 with/to the subshell and shell structure of the Atom Totality. Those numbers are important and have the values that they have because they are the numbers of our Maker. Element @94 has 2 electrons in the 1st shell; 8 electrons in the 2nd shell; 8 electrons in the 3rd shell; 18 electrons in the 4th shell; 18 electrons in the 5th shell; 32 electrons in the 6th shell and 8 electrons in the 7th shell. Take special notice in the chart below of successive subshells for element @94 that there are 19 occupied subshells in a total of 22 subshells for the 7 energy shells of @94. At this point the reader should take note that the two most special numbers for both math and physics are pi and e. I say special because they are used throughout both math and physics. Note that the rational approximations of pi is 22/7 and the rational approximation of e is 19/7. Reader take notice that 22/(pi^7) is approximated by 22/((22/7)^7). energy occupied subshells number of electrons in each shell 1s 2 2s,2p 8 3s,3p 8 4s,3d,4p 18 5s,4d,5p 18 6s,4f,5d,6p 32 7s,5f,6d,7p 8 ----------- ---- add these occupied subshells 94 total occupied subshells is 19 energy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 s s p s p d s p d f s p d f s p d f s p d f U 92 2 2 6 2 6 10 2 6 10 14 2 6 10 3 2 6 1 2 Np 93 2 2 6 2 6 10 2 6 10 14 2 6 10 4 2 6 1 2 Pu 94 2 2 6 2 6 10 2 6 10 14 2 6 10 6 2 6 2 @95 2 2 6 2 6 10 2 6 10 14 2 6 10 7 2 6 2 There are 7 shells and there are 22 possible s, p, d, f electron subshells for @94. Thus 22/(22/7)^7 is the fine-structure marker exactly when plutonium is in the collapsed wavefunction resulting in the exact value of pi = 22/7. Physically it is made more precise when compensating for the geometrical factor of unoccupied subshells in the 6f, 7d, and 7f, when those subshells are reckoned. Math defines pi as the ratio of the circumference divided by the diameter in Plane Euclidean geometry. But also, pi shows-up unexpectedly in many branches of math such as probability theory. The ultimate meaning of pi comes from the Plutonium Atom Totality and that meaning is the exact total number of electron subshells of 231(a)94 divided by the exact number of electron shells of 231(a)94. That is the reason pi is a number between 3 and 4, because of the subshell and shell structure of 231(a)94. Remember that the principal quantum number n is the shell and refers to the relative average distance of the electron from the nucleus, so n is taken as the diameter, and the quantum number L, the orbital angular momentum, gives the subshell and the shape of the orbital for the electron, thus L is the circumference. For positive curvature or Riemannian geometry, pi is a rational number approximation 22/7. The collapse of the wavefunction is the collapse of pi into a rational number. The use of pi throughout science is a reflection of the number 22/7 which comes from 22 possible s, p, d, f electron subshells in 7 electron shells of PU. Thus in the future when the atom totality has transmuted via spontaneous fission to a heavier element atom totality whose total possible number of electron subshells is 26 not 22, then the numerical value of the number pi will change but this new number will have the same role as pi had for PU. Math changes along with the new atom totality. Much more on maths later. The only thing which goes on forever without change is the Atomic Fact, that everything is atoms. (C) THE MEANING OF THE FINE-STRUCTURE MARKER FOR THE PROTONS. The meaning of the fine-structure marker for the protons is connected with the Planck linear marker (h), Boltzmann marker (k), the gravitational marker (G), and a new marker which I denote as Coupling-Strengthspontaneous fission (CS). CS represents the relative strength of the strong nuclear interaction in comparison to the electromagnetic interaction to spontaneous fission. Then h is set proportional to the whole quantity of (kxGxCS). Gravitation and the strong nuclear are complementary duals. First to compute the parameters of this new marker CS. first step: (kxGxCS) proportional to h second step: (1.38 x 10^-23 J/K ) X (6.67 x 10^-11 M^3/(S^2×Kg)) X CS ü (6.63 x 10^-34 J ×S) third step: (1.38 x 10^-23 1/ K ) X (6.67 x 10^-11 M^3/(S^2×Kg)) X CS ü (6.63 x 10^-34 S) fourth step: (1.38 x 10^-23 1/ K) X (6.67 x 10^-11 M^3/(S^3×Kg)) X CS ü (6.63 x 10^-34 ) fifth step: (1.38 x 10^-23 1/ K) X (1.006 x 10^23 M^3/(S^3×Kg)) X CS ü 1 sixth step: (1.388 M^3/(K×S^3×Kg)) X CS ü 1 seventh step: CS ü .720 (K×S^3×Kg)/M^3 The unitless variable of the fine-structure marker of the electromagnetic force is approximately 1/137 which is approximately ..0072. The numbers .720 and .0072 are not coincidental but are a reflection that the fine-structure marker is experimentally derived in the same units of physical measurement. The fact that the strong nuclear interaction to spontaneous fission is 100 times stronger than the proton electromagnetic interaction is a well known observable fact since atoms which have 100 protons are very unstable with very short spontaneous fission half-life.

Thus using CS approx= .720 (K×S^3×Kg)/M^3 when divided by 100 in consideration that 1 proton strong nuclear interaction in a nucleus of 100 protons is 100 times greater than the electromagnetic interaction. So, for 1 proton, CS is (.720/100) (K×S^3×Kg)/M^3 . Note that the parameters of this new marker CS has the units configuration that is mathly a volume space, since the units of measurement are cubed. So for 1 proton, CS = a(K×S3×Kg)/M3, where a is the unitless fine-structure marker. Thus a = CS/((K×S^3×Kg)/M^3). However the number of protons for plutonium is 94 was not directly used in the derivation of the fine-structure marker for protons. The number 94 does enter into the calculation when considering that the nucleus of a plutonium atom has 94 protons and 137 neutrons which added together is 231. Now consider a transformation that since the intrinsic temperature of plutonium is 2.74 and the quantum number of 2 is duality and thus existence, then, when 2.74 is divided by 2 gives a number 1.37. Now time t2 is inversely proportional to temperature and so 1.37 is time t2 of a plutonium atom in connection with 2 and 2.74. Transforming 231 to 2.31 and taking the uncertainty principle substituting 2.31 as energy multiply 1.37 as time t2 gives 3.16. The number 3.16 is a math analog of linear Planck's marker h. A hydrogen atom with 1 proton and 1 electron has no measured strong nuclear force, but a helium atom with 2 neutrons, 2 protons, 2 electrons has a strong nuclear force. The quantum nucleosynthesis from hydrogen with 1 nucleon to helium with 4 nucleons is (3.16)^4 since 3 more nucleons plus spin/angular momentum .5x.5x.5 is about .13, plus adding .01 for electromagnetic energy of 1 new proton, plus ..01 for 1 new electron plus .01 for 1 neutrino gives 3.16, where (3.16)^4 which is 100. So from 94 protons and 137 neutrons of a plutonium atom, I have derived the number of 100, making the solution of the fine-structure marker for protons unique to the proton structure of plutonium. Before I leave this topic notice that the unitless number of proton to electron mass ratio has an exponent power of 5 in 6(pi^5), and that the exp 5 comes from the 5f6. Now, notice the inverse fine-structure marker of ((22/7)^7)/22 also has the energy shell of 7 as exponent. Here for the first time is a linkage of two unitless numbers of physics-- proton to electron mass ratio and the fine-structure marker, by the fact that energy level of shell correlates and predicts what the exponent of a unitless number must have. Why does the energy shell take on a math form of exponent? Perhaps an expert quantum chemist or physicist can provide an answer.
