The Geometry of the Rydberg Constant An exact translation between the electron Compton scale, rest energy and the atomic Rydberg scale The Rydberg constant is one of the central scales of atomic physics. It determines the characteristic wavelengths of hydrogenic spectra and connects the electron mass, the speed of light, Planck’s constant and the fine-structure…
Geometric Clues to a Dynamical Theory of the Vacuum
GKV 2.0: From Geometric Clues to a Dynamical Theory of the Vacuum Micropolar vacuum dynamics, internal clocks, relativistic dispersion and the search for a common mechanical foundation of physics Modern physics describes nature with extraordinary precision. Special Relativity, quantum field theory and the Standard Model have survived experimental tests at levels that would have seemed…
A Geometric Clue Behind Quantum Scales
A Geometric Clue Behind Quantum Scales? Exploring a possible Rydberg–Compton–Dirac connection in Geometrodynamics of the Crystalline Vacuum One of the questions behind Geometrodynamics of the Crystalline Vacuum (GKV) is whether some quantities that appear fundamental in quantum physics could instead emerge from a deeper geometric or dynamical structure. This page describes one such possibility. The…
