Rethinking Mass and Gravity: A Frequency-Based Perspective

 The Fundamental Connection

At the heart of our understanding of physics lies a profound possibility: mass and frequency may be fundamentally the same thing. This insight emerges from a careful examination of a seemingly simple constant:

Q_m   =   h/c²   =   G * m_p²/c³ = 7.3724973238e-51 kg·s

This quantity, Q_m, which currently serves as the basis for defining the kilogram in international standards, it is the definition of the mass of a 1Hz photon, might be more than just a conversion factor—it could be the key to understanding the deep connection between mass and frequency. The Planck mass we are talking about is the non reduced version: m_p = sqrt(hc/G) 

Mass as Frequency

The traditional view treats mass and frequency as distinct physical properties. However, when we examine the relationship through Q_m, we find that mass can be expressed directly as a frequency scaled to our human-defined units.

As you can see this does work to convert subatomic mass to frequency:

This isn't about creating mass from frequency—they are the same physical quantity viewed through different lenses. Q_m does not create mass, it just scales the frequency to out units of measure for the kg.  This means that frequency and mass are equivalent. 

Consider these implications:

1. The famous equations E = mc² and E = hf are essentially the same equation:
   • If mass is frequency scaled by Q_m, then E = mc² becomes E = (f × Q_m)c²
   • This simplifies to E = hf
   • This defines h= Q_mc²
   • The constants aren't describing different phenomena—they're aspects of the same unit conversion system
2. Gravity becomes an interaction between frequencies:
   • F = G(m₁m₂)/r² becomes F = G((f₁ × Q_m)(f₂ × Q_m))/r²
     
   • G = Q_m * c³ / m_p² is the definition.
   • Gravitational force emerges as the constructive interference of these frequencies
   • The 1/r² falloff represents the spreading of these frequency interactions over spherical wavefronts

Spacetime Curvature and Frequency

This perspective becomes even more profound when we consider that frequency might be a direct measure of spacetime curvature—specifically, the rate of the time dimension. This suggests that:

• What we perceive as mass is actually our measurement of spacetime curvature at a particular point
• This curvature manifests as a frequency
• Gravitational interactions are interactions between regions of curved spacetime (different frequencies)
• The individual space time curves of subatomic particles constructively combine to form the gravity we see at macro scales. 
• The current definition of the kilogram using Q_m is essentially standardizing a measure of spacetime curvature

Implications for Physics

This frequency-based understanding of mass and gravity could have far-reaching implications:

1. Quantum Gravity: If frequency directly represents spacetime curvature, quantum gravity might naturally emerge from the quantized nature of frequency itself.
2. Gravitational Properties:
   • The always-attractive nature of gravity could be explained by constructive interference
   • The inability to shield gravity makes sense as frequencies penetrate matter
   • Gravitational waves could be understood as modulations in frequency-interaction patterns
3. Unification: This perspective might help bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and gravity by showing they're working with the same fundamental quantity—frequency—just viewed through different frameworks.

Conclusion

This reframing of mass as frequency, mediated by Q_m, offers a potentially simpler and more unified view of fundamental physics. Rather than treating mass as a mysterious property, we can understand it as frequency—a concept that naturally connects to both quantum mechanics and gravity.

The fact that our current definition of the kilogram is based on Q_m might not be just a convenient standard, but a recognition of a deeper truth about the nature of mass, frequency, and the structure of our universe.

This perspective invites us to reconsider our fundamental understanding of physics and might open new paths toward a unified theory of quantum gravity. By recognizing that what we call mass might simply be frequency scaled to human-friendly units, we might be closer to understanding the true nature of matter and gravity than we realized.
