Dear Prof. Dr. Surjeet Rajendran:
With the ongoing results of the JWST, there is no doubt about it, there is a new physics beyond the standard model. Your attitude, “…our job is to find it…” is spot on. Congratulations on all that you have done so far.
As I visit websites of pre-docs and postdocs, more and more are joining the search.
My concerns:
1. Have we limited our understanding of particles?
2. Can we come at their definition from the Planck scale?
3. If at the Planck scale, should dimensionless constants and natural units be considered?
4. If so, what might be the first manifestation of space-time?
5. Should the most simple construction, the circle and sphere, be the first to be considered?
6. If defined by the Max Planck, George Stoney, or the ISO, what might that look like?
7. Might we assume one infinitesimal sphere per unit of space and time as defined. by Planck, Stoney or ISO?
8. Is it true that 18.5 tredecillion spheres per second are rendered if we use Planck Time and Planck Length?
9. If our calculations are correct, there would be just 202 base-2 exponential notations to the current time. Are each of those calculations at all meaningful?
10. Is this worth pursuing?
Thank you.
Warmly,
Bruce
PS. The first 64 notations of the 202 are way to small for the devices and instrumentation currently used to measure things in space and time. Your work with LIGO interferometers hold keys for high-precision sensing. Yet, even there, just how small can we go?
Also, building from the start, from sphere stacking to cubic-close packing of equal spheres, tetrahedrons and octahedrons are readily generated. There is an obvious geometry between Notation-1 and your high-precision sensing. I suspect that Langlands programs, string theorists, SUSY scholars, and others are fine-tuning their mathematics as I write! -BEC
