Abstract

In further demonstration of simultaneous existence of the atom as wave and particle, we reproduce values of a number of physical constants using the classical mass equation hϑ = mc². Most, possibly all, physical constants are coefficients of linear correlations of parameters of the intrinsic electromagnetic (e-m) oscillation that defines the atom; for example: (i) angular frequency per unit radius ω/r correlates with rotational strain τ to produce the effect identified with atomic mass; (ii) the atomic waveform’s e-m flux density ρ_w correlates with its radius r_w and with the field modulus ϵ_w to produce the effect associated with Newtonian Gravitation G; (iii) universal (Galilean) gravitational acceleration g arises from correlations of (a) the particulate atom’s centripetal force F_p with its mass m_p, (b) the material density ρ_p with radius r_p and (c) the field (i.e., waveform) modulus ϵ_w with stress σ_w; (iv) the particulate atom’s modulus correlates with its stress field to define the electric constant or permittivity; (v) the waveform (i.e., field) centripetal force F_w correlates with strain τ_w to give electron magnetic moment μ_e and τ_w correlates with ω/r to define electrostatic atomic mass unit amu/eV; (vi) the particulate atom’s mass m_p correlates with density ρ_p to produce the effect associated with magnetic flux density B and (vii) a universal invariant waveform gravitational (centripetal) acceleration g = 7.9433 x 10⁵⁹ m s^-2 kg^-1 binds matter together on atomic, stellar, galactic and cosmic scales, it is identifiable with the strong nuclear force (SNF) suggesting that the SNF is not electromagnetic but mechanical. The investigation identifies centripetal force as the only causality of gravitation raising valid questions regarding possibility for quantum gravitation.
