Speed Limit of Sound - Fine Structure Constant and the Proton to Electron Mass Ratio

Speed limit of sound is limited by the speed of light, proton radius, and the Rydberg constant:
(this defines a new experiment / series of experiements to determine the proton radius)
https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/41/eabc8662*
$$v_u=\alpha({m_e\over{2m_p}})^{1\over2}c$$

using for the proton to electron mass ratio:
$${m_p\over m_e}={\alpha^2\over\pi r_pR_H}$$

$$v_u=c\sqrt{{\pi\over2}r_pR_H}$$

Google Calc link with Phi equation for mass ratio

$$r_p={2\over{\pi R_H}}{({v_u\over c})}^2$$





And there you have it, another simple result from good old fashioned work!

It looks like you have a sort of Rydberg Molasses that slows the speed of light down as it traverses the proton radius a quarter wave at a time, thus the ${\pi\over2}$ quarter wave phase-factor, or some rms $\sqrt2\over2$ crystal lattice averaging factor.

* "Our result expands the current understanding of how fundamental constants can impose new bounds on important physical properties."
Other notes:

One more for the road:
$$({v_u\over c})^2={\pi\over2}r_pR_H$$
This clearly sheds Light on the geometric reality of the Universe.

Addendum:
Assuming the photon and phonon are the same frequency:
$$f_{phonon}=f_u$$
$$f_{photon}={c\over\lambda}$$
$$f_u={v_u\over\lambda_u}$$
$${c\over\lambda}={v_u\over\lambda_u}$$
$${v_u\over c}={\lambda_u\over\lambda}$$
$$({v_u\over c})^2=({\lambda_u\over\lambda})^2$$

$$({\lambda_u\over\lambda})^2={\pi\over2}r_pR_H$$
Moar later to check correlation in k-space/momentum space.

  1. Thinking about how to derive the speed of sound limit from the wave equation...

  2. (so, addendum doesn't add much, yet)

  3. Peak to trough is 1/4 wave

    1. Correction: Peak to zero is 1/4 wave, peak to trough is half wave
