A note to consider the latest pages — https://81018.com/geometric-dynamics/ and https://81018.com/spheres-symphony/ — currently being worked on.

Dear Prof. Dr. Urs Heller:
Earlier in February I sent a little thank-you note for your article with Erick Weinberg for the 125th anniversary of Physical Review. That note (below) and my initial analysis of “Physics at the Shortest and Longest Scales” became the basis for a new article and then an update of that article.
A scale invariant grid from the Planck base units to the current time and size of the universe can be defined by base-2 notation. That grid goes from the smallest to the largest possible scales in physics. There are only 202 notations. The first billion years is within Notation 199. The first million years is within Notation-189. The first 1000 years is within Notation 179 and the first year within Notation-169. The first second is within Notation-143 and the first yoctosecond (one trillionth of a trillionth of a second) is within Notation-64 (on the edges of any possible direct measurement).
Can those first 64 notations provide foundations to start a model of the universe? It appears so, yet there are still many, many unknowns and surprises.
There are five working documents to summarize this current work:
• From the smallest to largest scales: https://81018.com/reformat/
• On identifying keys to our Universe: https://81018.com/tighter/
• The Qualitative: https://81018.com/qualitative/
• Pi Day: https://81018.com/2024-piday/
• Number Theory: https://81018.com/numbers-numbers-numbers/
I thought you might find it of interest. None of those articles are quite ready for prime time, yet perhaps that first one on scales could be readied without too, too much more work. Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Urs Heller:
I am surveying your work and I was encouraged when I discovered this work (written with Erick Weinberg) Physics at the Shortest and Longest Scales, PRD, October 2018 (Volume 27, Number 9). The URL is: https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201810/prd-scales.cfm You were celebrating your 125 years of publishing.
In 2011 we unwittingly applied base-2 notation to the Planck base units and emerged with a chart with 202 notations from the smallest to the largest possible measurements. We thought it was a great STEM tool until we started reading Hawking and Guth and their followers. There was an obvious disconnect and it has taken me a while to begin to get succinct as to what that might be. https://81018.com/bbc/ is critical review. A less confrontational view is here: http://81018.com/reformat/
If you cannot visit an unknown external webpage, I can send it “as is” via email. I know it is not in your format. If you are interested, I’ll wrestle it down as close as I can to that format.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Bruce
PS. I know this would normally be thrown out perhaps as spoof, but in these days, you just might make some exceptions and have your editors guide the process. -BEC
