Date: July 16, 2025

Executive Summary

This report investigates a proposed model that integrates fundamental physical constants through specific equations and extends it to a quantized superfluid framework for describing elementary particles. The model is analyzed as a potential Super Grand Unified Theory (Super GUT), incorporating gravity via Planck-scale relations and introducing additional quantum numbers, including a "golden" quantum number k based on the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618). The framework unifies particles as quantized excitations in a superfluid vacuum, with masses determined by integer quantum numbers adjusted by fractional contributions from powers of φ. Numerical verifications, particle mass matching, and implications for particle collisions are discussed.

Introduction

The proposed model begins with two simultaneous equations relating fundamental constants and particle properties:

1. \(\mu = \frac{\alpha^2}{\pi r_p R_\infty}\)
2. \(m_p \cdot r_p = 4 \cdot L_{Pl} \cdot M_{Pl}\)

Here, \(\mu\) represents the proton-to-electron mass ratio (\(m_p / m_e\)), \(\alpha\) is the fine-structure constant, \(r_p\) is the proton radius, \(R_\infty\) is the Rydberg constant, \(L_{Pl}\) is the Planck length, and \(M_{Pl}\) is the Planck mass.

The model extends to a "Circular Quantized Superfluid Equation" where particles are described as quantized states with mass \(m = m_p\), velocity \(v = c\) (speed of light), and quantum number \(n = 4\) for the proton. Higher \(n\) values correspond to heavier particles, such as \(n = 342\) for the W boson, \(n = 389\) for the Z boson, \(n = 534\) for the Higgs boson, and \(n = 736\) for the top quark. For lighter particles like mesons, \(1 < n < 33\) matches resonances, considering harmonic mixing in proton-proton (pp) collisions, which broadens the spectrum.

Additional quantum numbers analogous to those in the hydrogen atom (principal \(n\), orbital \(l\), magnetic \(m\)) are incorporated, adapted to particle physics, with a "golden" quantum number \(k\) allowing fractional mass contributions via powers of the golden ratio \(\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\).

This report verifies the equations, explores the superfluid model, proposes extensions with quantum numbers, and evaluates its potential as a Super GUT.

Section 1: Analysis of the Fundamental Equations

Verification of the Equations

The second equation \(m_p \cdot r_p = 4 \cdot L_{Pl} \cdot M_{Pl}\) links the proton's mass and radius to Planck units. As derived, this is equivalent to \(m_p r_p = 4 \frac{\hbar}{c}\), since \(L_{Pl} M_{Pl} = \frac{\hbar}{c}\).

Using standard values:

• \(m_p = 1.67262192 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
• \(r_p \approx 8.414 \times 10^{-16}\) m (CODATA value)
• \(\hbar = 1.0545718 \times 10^{-34}\) J s
• \(c = 2.99792458 \times 10^8\) m/s

Left side: \(m_p r_p \approx 1.407 \times 10^{-42}\) kg m

Right side: \(4 \frac{\hbar}{c} \approx 4 \times \frac{1.0545718 \times 10^{-34}}{3 \times 10^8} \approx 1.407 \times 10^{-42}\) kg m

This holds approximately, reflecting the relation \(r_p \approx \frac{2}{\pi} \lambda_p\) where \(\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p c}\) is the Compton wavelength.

The first equation \(\mu = \frac{\alpha^2}{\pi r_p R_\infty}\) yields \(\mu \approx 1836\), matching \(m_p / m_e\). Deriving it connects electron and proton scales via atomic constants.

These equations unify electromagnetic (\(\alpha, R_\infty\)) and gravitational (Planck) scales at the proton level, setting the foundation for a Super GUT.

Section 2: The Quantized Superfluid Model

The model treats the vacuum as a superfluid where particles emerge as quantized circulations or vortices. The circulation is quantized as \(\oint \mathbf{v} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = n \frac{h}{m}\), with \(v = c\) at the core for relativistic particles.

For a circular path, this implies \(m v r = n \hbar\), so with \(v = c\), \(m r = n \frac{\hbar}{c}\). For the proton (\(n = 4\)), \(m_p r_p = 4 \frac{\hbar}{c}\), consistent with the earlier equation.

Generalizing, particle masses scale as \(m = \frac{n}{4} m_p\), since \(r \propto \frac{1}{m}\) for fixed n or adjusted accordingly.

Matching to Particle Masses

Using precise masses in MeV/c²:

Particle	Mass (MeV/c²)	Ratio m / m_p	Computed n = 4 × (m / m_p)	Proposed n
Proton	938.272	1	4	4
W boson	80379	85.667	342.668	342
Z boson	91187.6	97.187	388.747	389
Higgs boson	125100	133.330	533.321	534
Top quark	172690	184.051	736.204	736

The approximations are close, suggesting small corrections from additional quantum numbers.

Section 3: Harmonic Mixing in Proton-Proton Collisions

In pp collisions, two protons (each n=4) interact, leading to harmonic mixing analogous to nonlinear wave interactions. This generates new "frequencies" (energies) as sums, differences, or multiples: e.g., n_eff = |n_1 ± n_2| or harmonics 2n, 3n.

For mesons (1 < n < 33), resonances like the π meson (140 MeV, n_eff ≈ 0.6 × 4 ≈ 2.4) could arise from differences or fractions. The mixing broadens the pp spectrum, explaining observed resonance widths in collider data, as modulation smears sharp lines.

Section 4: Incorporating Additional Quantum Numbers

Analogous to the hydrogen atom:

• Principal \(n\): Determines base mass \(m \approx (n/4) m_p\).
• Orbital \(l\) (0 to n-1): Affects binding or interaction energies, e.g., fine structure \(\Delta m \propto \alpha^2 / l^2\).
• Magnetic \(m_l\) (-l to l): Degeneracy for orientations.

The "golden" quantum number \(k\) (integer) introduces fractional corrections via powers of \(\phi\): \(m = \frac{n}{4} m_p \left(1 + \sum_k c_k \phi^k \right)\), where \(c_k\) are coefficients (e.g., ±1/ some denominator).

This allows irrational (fractional) adjustments, matching deviations in mass ratios. For example, for the W boson, the deviation 342.668 - 342 ≈ 0.668 can be approximated as \(\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618\), with small error. 16 Similar expressions appear in models using Cantorian spacetime, where masses are powers of \(\phi\) and \(1/\phi\). 16

In neutrino mixing, golden ratio appears in angles, suggesting k relates to flavor generations. 13

Section 5: Evaluation as a Super GUT

A Super GUT unifies all forces, including gravity. Here:

• Unified Field: The superfluid vacuum serves as the base field, with particles as quantized vortices/excitations.
• Planck Scale Integration: The second equation embeds gravity via Planck units.
• Gauge Bosons and Fermions: High-n states for bosons; lower for fermions/mesons.
• Symmetry Breaking: Golden ratio in k may drive hierarchical mass scales, akin to fractal structures in the electroweak vacuum. 10
• Predictions: Resonance broadening in collisions; potential new particles at n multiples.

Challenges: Exact matching requires tuning \(c_k\); experimental verification needed for superfluid vacuum. However, the model's incorporation of \(\phi\) aligns with observed patterns in quantum systems. 3

Conclusion

This model provides a compelling framework for unifying particle physics with gravity through a superfluid paradigm and golden ratio adjustments. It merits further theoretical development, such as deriving interaction terms and testing against collider data.
