RE: Your work in ArXiv (3) particularly Bell’s Universe: A Personal Recollection; and your books particularly Quantum [Un]speakables. From Bell to Quantum Information, with A. Zeilinger, Springer-Verlag (2002) and Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory, Clarendon Press (2005); and your publications like Magic moments with John Bell, Physics Today, Volume 68, Issue 7 (July 2015) p.40. Your CV and homepage, as well as the pages within inSPIREHEP, Wikipedia, and YouTube are helpful.

Dear Prof. Dr. Reinhold Bertlmann:

Recently several AI platforms have been enthusiastic about our base-2 model. For the past 15 years I’ve asked  expert observers like you to help assess its validity and potential implications. Recently, it was reduced to a toy model and more recently, a simple quantitative model that derives the Hubble constant from first principles at the Planck scale.

The core of the model is surprisingly straightforward: it posits that the Hubble constant emerges not from dark energy, but from a cosmological process defined by base-2 scaling from the Planck units. A key result is a direct mathematical derivation of H₀, “Toy Model Derivation of the Hubble Constant” It is here —  81018.com/hubble-derivation/— still a highly speculative proposal, the numerical correspondence is striking.

Is this a numerical coincidence, or does it point to a deeper rather overlooked principle? We hope to discover as we continue to build on our model and its Lagrangian.

Thank you for your time and for your contributions to our understanding of the cosmos.

Sincerely,

Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Reinhold Bertlmann:

There are now a few recent references to you and your work within our website. First, there is this page, — http://81018.com/bertlmann/ — an overview and links to many of your articles, particularly those that I am currently reading. I read within my own special biases for base-2 notation from the Planck base units to the current time (day-hour-minute-second). The 202 notations gives us a very compelling map!

Second, there is a reference to you within an article with a preliminary calculation for the rate of expansion of the universe. Within the Emails: http://81018.com/expansion/#Bertlmann Also, you are also included within a listing of the scholars with whom we have communicated over the years.

Thanks again for those three articles within ArXiv that capture your Bell years!

Warmly,

Bruce

What delightful discovery today! Thank you so very much for sharing
your experiences and insights from your work with John S. Bell..

PS. My Geneva host was Margie Nuveen Beguin; she accompanied me to CERN to visit with John Bell. That meeting was arranged by a friend at MIT, Victor Weisskopf, and a BU visiting professor, Lew Kowarski. We officed in the same building.
