Trends, Past and Future: Fundamental Physics Constants

Moar later. Check historical Planck data, h, it’s getting smaller and just needs to get a little smaller. 

Constants Trend

1. Elementary charge, e, + ✅

2. Electron mass, e_0, + ✅

3. Fine-structure constant, alpha, + ✅

4. Permittivity of free space, epsilon_0, - ✅

5. Planck’s constants, h, - ✅

6. Proton radius, r_p, - ✅

7. Rydberg constant, R_H, - ✅

8. Speed of Light, c, - ✅

+ means needs to increase

- means needs to decrease 

3 need to increase in value a small amount 

5 need to decrease a small amount 

To be correct and more in harmony with Nature

9. Proton mass, r_p, -

10. Proton to electron mass ratio, mu or beta, -

5. Historical data for Planck's constant✅ versus Year plus ideal value:

Planck's constant versus year*
(units J/Hz)

Will add others later.  Have to use 1970+ data since that when they "finalized" the standard model and the trend should match my prediction, the trend appears to agree with h, the Planck constant.

Planck's constant was fixed by decree in 2019 having to do with the mass definition:

1. Elementary charge✅ (electron charge):

(from: https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/264/timeline-of-measurements-of-the-electrons-charge)

6. Proton radius, r_p, - ✅

NIST/CODAT vs. MR Proton over the years

So far we've checked 3 of the constants and the trends agree with our prediction/analysis.

8. Speed of Light, c, - ✅

Speed of light measurement decreasing value over time

3. Fine-structure constant, alpha, + ✅

1973      fine-structure constant 0.007297334              (from physics.NIST.gov)

2014/15 fine-structure constant 0.007297352566417 (from physics.NIST.gov)

2018/19 fine-structure constant 0.0072973525693     (from physics.NIST.gov)

2020:      1/137.035999206(11)

This wk: 1/137.029874274

5 of 8 have agreed with prediction.  Even though h, the Planck constant was set by law (decree) in 2019, scientific forces will be changing that.  It was done for defining mass.  Now that more is known, mass can be defined using these values and their timebase, if still needed (very likely as I haven't address time, yet).

2. electron mass, m_e, + ✅

2015: 9.109 383 56(11) × 10 −31 kg

2018: 9.109 383 7015(28) x 10-31 kg  

7. Rydberg Constant, R_H, - ✅

2015: 10 973 731.568 508(65) m−1 

2018: 10 973 731.568 160(21) m-1

4. Permitivity of free space, e_0, - ✅

2010: 8.854 187 817... e-12    (exact)                  F m^-1

2018: 8.854 187 8128(13) x 10-12 F m-1

9. Proton mass, r_p, - (does not agree with prediction? recheck)*

2010:  1.672 621 777 e-27

2014:  1.672 621 898(21) × 10−27 kg

2018:  1.672 621 923 69(51) x 10-27 kg

10. Proton to electron mass ratio, mu or beta, - (does not agree with prediction? recheck)*

2010:  1836.152 672 45 

2018:  1836.152 673 43(11)  

* need to re-think #9 & #10 since I added those two are based on the others... 

Addendum:

"Instead, he believes that physicists should focus on dimensionless quantities, such as the fine-structure constant." from: https://physicsworld.com/a/can-gps-find-variations-in-plancks-constant/

Also, dimensionless proton to electron mass ratio which comes out correctly with this work that addresses the proton radius puzzle and includes the proton radius in the solution...

First!
