(Start Strong - Grab Attention)
Everyone knows that the fundamental constants are mysterious. But what if I told you that Planck's constant (h) and Newton's gravitational constant (G), are more intimately linked than we realize, revealing a deeper structure of reality?
Let's start with the 1899 definition of Planck mass: m_P = √(hc/G). Looking at this, something interesting jumps out. If we solve for
Looking closer, a unit analysis reveals that both
My first clue to this connection was a strong intuition. As a result of a brain injury, I developed a number shape synesthesia, which told me that hc and G were the same number, just twisted. This is what lead me back to these numbers until I saw I could isolate the mass. It was another month before I found out that I had rediscovered Planck's original natural mass unit.
This inversion is key. If we rearrange the Planck mass equation, we get hc/m_P = G*m_P. This proves that both hc and G can be seen as a product of two factors with the mass factor in an inverse relationship. We know one factor is mass (m_P) with units of kg. This means the other factor must have units of m³/s². Let's call this factor 's_va' for "scaling factor of volumetric acceleration." because it looks like a volume over an acceleration.
This leads to a new way of expressing these constants using the common scaling factors we isolated:
hc = m_P * s_va h = (m_P * s_va) / c G = m_P / s_va
Centuries later, Planck faced a similar issue converting frequency to energy. He needed a constant, h, to make the numbers work. E=hf.
In both cases the values of one side of the formula was offset by a consistent ratio and this ratio was refined and used in the formula as a constant.
What this framework suggests is that they were both measuring aspects of the same underlying phenomenon. But they did not know that they were measuring the same underlying curved space time.
The reason why this resulted in different numbers was the structure of the formula they used to develop the constant. This left an imprint on the value.
Consider the familiar energy equation for a photon:
E = hc/wavelength =
Notice the similarity to our expression for h:
h = (m_P * s_va) / c
They follow the same pattern. h is the energy of a photon with a wavelength equal to the speed of light – a 1Hz photon.
This "teaching frame" photon at 1Hz has intriguing properties:
Rotation: 2pi radians Wavelenth = c Energy E = h = (m_P * s_va) / c The inverse edge of the cube. Momentum p = h/c = (m_P * s_va) / c² The inverse area of one side of the cube, Mass m = h/c² = (m_P * s_va) / c³ The inverse volume of the cube. All of these properties scale by observed frequency from this frame to the observed value.
