Part 1

A New Model for the Expansion of Space

• No parameters to be hand-set

• No fine-tuning

• No initial conditions

ADVANTAGES

• A universe at an age of 14.2 B• Accelerating rate of expansion• A physical relationship between the electron, proton and the fundamental mass• A quantum theory of Gravity

RESULTS

Part 2

Calculating Absolute Planck Values

Planck Values are not Absolute Units Derived from combinations of the fundamental

constants: c, h-bar, G Require an arbitrary normalization that constrains

the fundamental constants to a value of unity: c = h-bar = G = 1

No physical evidence supports these assumptions

Planck Length and Time vs. Planck Mass

If G is set to 1, then the relative gravitational force between an electron- electron pair can be expressed using consistent units of .

Quantum Scale Equivalence between length, time and mass

• This fundamental mass joins Planck Length and Planck Time as the smallest possible (fundamental) quantum.• Fundamental mass, length and time are all different manifestations of the same fundamental quantum of the universe.
