From: Archimedes Plutonium on 11 Apr 2010 02:01 Looks like no luck in this 2nd attempt, even though some progress. I probably do not have time for a 3rd attempt since I will end this book on 15 April. I do have a constant to all observers and all frames of reference in Euclidean geometry as "pi" is circumference divided by diameter. Now I take Euclidean geometry and break the symmetry forming Elliptic unioned Hyperbolic geometry and here I have the equiangles of the golden rectangle logarithmic spiral with the sphere meridians. I seem not able to find a 10^-44 and 10^-36 for either log spiral or meridian. So I am going to take a different tack, that maybe successful before 15 April. I have these four nailed: (1) Pi = 22 subshells inside 7 shells for 22/7 (2) e = 19 occupied subshells in 7 shells for 19/7 (3) fine structure constant = 22 / (22/7)^7 (4) proton mass/electron mass = 6*(22/7)^5 Now I think I have the rest mass of the neutrino predicted using the mean life of muon as (5) 0.511 x 10^6 eV / 2.1 x 10^-6 sec is approx 0.24 eV/sec. So I am wondering whether the speed of light is predicted by the mean life of many of the particles of physics such as the muon or pion or Lambda. Most of them are in the range of about 10^-8 to 10^-11 seconds The trouble with the speed of light, is that there are no other speeds in physics, in all of physics that is of *intrinsic importance*. There is only one speed in all of physics that is intrinsic and that is of course the speed of light. All other speeds are secondary. If I had another speed that was intrinsic, I could set up a ratio like that of proton mass to electron mass and then find a derivation from the Atom Totality. But physics has only the speed of light as intrinsic. So we know that the photon travels at the speed of light and has no rest mass, while the neutrino travels almost the speed of light with a 0.24 eV rest mass. Now let me make a trial-run here. If I take the proton with its 938 MeV and divided it by the mean life of the muon 2.2 x 10^-6 sec I have 4 x 10^8 Mev/ sec. What I am saying is that the exponents for mean life of these particles are in the range of what the speed of light is. Now if there is some way of converting MeV to meters. Another case in point is the Neutron or the Proton whose MeV of 939 x 10^6 eV and 938 x 10^6 eV have the exponent of the speed of light in terms of meters/sec. So is there a conversion of MeV to meters/sec that makes sense? What I am doing here is noting the fact, the obvious fact that the exponent of the rest mass energies and the mean life of these elementary particles is close to the exponent of the speed of light. So there must be some intrinsic physical meaning as to why the speed of light and mean life and rest mass are so close together.
