1. Introduction
Recently, significant experimental, as well as theoretical advances, have been made in relation to coupling constants that determine the strength of forces exerted in a physical interaction. In relation to the strength of the forces, one usually decides strong coupling constant αs, electromagnetic Sommerfeld constant α, weak coupling constant αw, and gravitational constant αg. In this contribution we relate the strong coupling constant αs(mz), responsible for nuclear stability and taken at the Z-boson mass scale mz = 91.1875(21) GeV, to the galactic rotation velocity
and to Sommefeld’s constant α [1], thereby using results of Guynn’s excellent structure of matter and space approach [2]. Our numerical result can be compared with αs recently measured and verified by QCE analysis given by CERN researchers [3]. These results were compared to Mozafari’s extended coupling constant approach [4] and to the unification attempt given by Pellis [5] [6]. Last but not least, the intrinsically local IRT theory of Suleiman in its application to disk galaxies can deliver comparable results for the strong coupling constant [7]. We are dealing with very simple mathematical relationships as already given in recent publications [8] [9]. In summary, it can be seen that we are on the proper route towards unification of physical science without the nonsense of complex physical theories like QED [7]. The simplicity in the scaling of interacting rotating entities from particles to galaxies shows the beauty of our cosmos. The given approach should be applied also to the gravitational coupling constant, thereby continuing the work of Pellis [5] [6] respectively Maruani [10]. The weak force and coupling constant αw, accounting for decays in particle physics, were not considered in this contribution. However, you can follow a recommended lecture by Tina Potter about this theme [11].
Furthermore, it was shown that the mass respectively energy constituents of the universe can simply be related to the maximum βm of Guynn’s difference velocity respectively the fifth power of the golden mean. The good agreement with experimental values is surprising. The hierarchy of the golden mean was illustrated by a figure.
The work is completed by a consideration about superconductivity and its connection with the number φ5 as an indicator of phase transitions, followed by a final chapter on nature’s effective numbers.
This contribution pursues and upgrades a recently given one [8] and prearranges an upcoming contribution incorporating discoveries of the past.
2. Galactic Route to the Strong Coupling Constant
In the following, we apply the new structure of matter and space approach of Preston Guynn [2], based on the seminal idea to consider the action of Thomas precession [12] in difference to the rotation velocity β = v/c of moving bodies (entities) from particle scale to galactic one. His result for the difference velocity βd is given by the equation
(1)
where γ is the Lorentz factor. Figure 1 depicts the difference velocity curve with its maximum βm and the fundamental velocity
, where βd becomes zero. The maximum at β1 = 0.6083087004577 near the golden mean
has the value
(2)
The maximum galactic rotation velocity βg of spiral galaxies like the Milky Way star system was given by Guynn in terms of the Lorentz transform, taken over the electron cyclotron rotation between β0 and a slightly adapted
(see Figure 1) [2]
(3)
where
(4)
For sake of upcoming scaling use, we share the interesting integration of βd between zero and β0 giving exactly
(5)
Figure 1. Difference velocity βd versus rotation velocity β after Guynn [2]. The red arrow points to the value of the golden mean φ near β1.
Now we use Sommerfeld’s constant α as well as βm, β0 and βg to develop simple relations between coupling constants like the world average value of the strong interaction coupling constant
. The first relation is
(6)
One can formulate another numerical relation for the strong coupling constant
(7)
Using this result, the galactic velocity
can be rewritten into [3]
(8)
or vice versa
(9)
This may serve as a determination equation for the strong coupling constant at the Z-boson mass scale, because the Milky Way maximum galactic rotation velocity is obviously accurate to eight decimal places [2]. This value for
was precisely confirmed by measurement besides QCD analysis at CERN [3]:
(10)
with uncertainties ± 0.0014 (fit) ± 0.0007 (model) ± 0.0008 (scale) ± 0.0001 (param).
As in the case of Sommerfeld’s constant [1] [8], one can formulate a reciprocity relation by connecting
with π. Both reciprocity relations may be compared in the following [9]
(11)
(12)
Equation (11) points to the photonic-electromagnetic footings of the Universe.
3. Alternative Approaches for
Mozafari recently published an interesting conjecture about the existence of fifth and subsequent forces beyond the known four ones (strong, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational) [4]. His approach for the strong coupling constant
leads to the relation
(13)
The conjecture of the possible presence of further extremely weak ubiquitous forces could perhaps help to explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe or give a hint for the existence of a parallel universe with opposite chirality. In a previous publication, the present author already posed the question about the existence of a Multiverse [13].
Turning to results of the IRT theory and matter—dark matter coupling in disk galaxies [7], one can give a further relation for
(14)
where rc is the core radius of the galaxy, representing the distance from the galaxy center to the core where matter density is one-half of the central matter density, and rs is the half-velocity radius.
A golden mean-based geometrical suggestion for the value of
used a simple reciprocity relation already applied in [14]. One can split this relation delivering a term that represents the inverse circumsphere radius
of a regular icosahedron of unit edge length
(15)
Importantly, the vortex structure of the electron was recently described as an icosahedral Moebius ball [15].
4. Gravitational Invariant αg
The hierarchy of coupling constants could be continued with the given
approach. However, first the previous work of Pellis [5] [6] and that of Maruani [10] should be quoted here. For
we have the known relation
(16)
where G is the gravitational constant, me the electron mass,
the reduced Planck constant, and c the speed of light. Some years ago, Pellis contributed an elaborated unification of coupling constants and dimensionless physical constants [5] [6]. In this work, he linked, for instance, Sommerfeld’s constant α with the Planck length
and the electron radius re to the relation
(17)
Maruani has derived an impressive reciprocity relation between gravitational force Fg, electromagnetic force Fe, and Planck force FP [10]
(18)
The reader may study the original work of Pellis respectively Maruani to learn more about details of their work.
5. Reciprocity Relation between Mass Constituents of the Universe
Whereas we have completed the coupling constant formulas with reciprocity relations (11) respectively (18), there are further such relations, with which the present author has described, for instance, the fifth power of the golden mean based mass respectively energy constituents of the Universe [16] [17] [18]. Such quantum gravity formulas were obtained by a probabilistic quantum entanglement calculation [19] [20] [21]. An important role plays Hardy’s maximum quantum entanglement probability being as well the fifth power of the golden mean φ [22] [23].
Recasting the matter amount ΩM respectively the (cold) dark matter amount ΩDM giving
,
(19)
a reciprocity relation was confirmed between ΩM and ΩDM indicating a persuasive result for the pure dark energy ΩDE [3]
(20)
This relation can be reformulated using Equation (2) indicating a quite simple reciprocity relation in terms of the maximum of the difference velocity
(21)
The reader may also follow an earlier given cosmic constituent approach by using the circle constant [24]
,
(22)
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) measurement has revealed for the constituents preliminary values of
,
, and
[25]. However, the comparison would suggest checking the dark matter constituent of the WMAP experiment. Bouchet has specified these data by adapting from Planck satellite 2015 Cosmic Microwave Background (CBM) power spectra a best-fit model [26]. The power spectrum is given as
, where
is the Fourier transform of the cosmic density fluctuation
. The fit revealed “final” constituents for baryonic matter
, dark matter
, and dark energy
.
The fifth power of the golden mean governs phase transitions from particle to cosmic scale [18]. If we keep the hierarchy of the fifth power of the golden mean still involved in the inflation of the constituents of the universe, we can write down surprisingly simple
(23)
(24)
(25)
Interestingly, the quotient of baryonic matter to total matter is again related to the golden mean being
(26)
Relation (26) represents another reciprocity relation. The denominator value of 4 can be compared with the integration result given in Equation (5).
When using all possible approximations, we get an over-determined system of linear equations with more equations than unknowns. The simultaneous solutions to these approximations deliver for the constituents calculated values in excellent agreement with the WMAP results given by Bouchet [26], which can be compared in Table 1 and Table 2. The golden mean conjecture seems to agree better with the experimental values.
With the aid of relation (6) one can replace in the relations (23) to (25) the maximum difference velocity
by
giving
. Equation (24) tells us that dark energy is strongly correlated to the total matter of the universe as a response of galactic matter movement.
When using only two equations, we can present formulas for the constituents with reduced accuracy
Table 1. Solution to a system of 3 linear equations with 2 unknowns.

(27)
(28)
with
. One can better adapt the Ω-values by using the pre-factor 0.5884, which is about
, instead of 3/5. The term
is proportional to the dark matter density term of the IRT theory [27]. Therefore, we can try to make the quantity
a variable velocity
. The obtained curves were graphically presented in Figure 2 by comparing the resulting black Ω-curves with energy densities in green according to the IRT theory.
Figure 2. Golden mean hierarchy revealing the mysteries of the Universe. Red circles mass respectively energy constituents of the Universe. Black curves corresponding curves with variable ß. Green curves for baryonic matter, dark matter and total matter according to the IRT theory [27]. Red circles at ß = 1 have been created from the Ω values at β = 5∙φ5 ≈ 0.4508 by a shift along the horizontal axis. Red curves follow third degree polynomials. The grey curves were derived from the green ones by replacement of β by β/β0.
We get an astonishing golden mean hierarchy with many coincidence points that may serve to reveal the mysteries of the Universe. Interestingly, the red marked Ω values at
seem to reverse its values, ΩM becomes about ΩDM, and ΩDM becomes about ΩDE. When not only caused by pure coincidence, it could have far-reaching consequences. Remarkably, the ΩDM curve meets the IRT total matter curve at
, represented by an energy density of
. This needs clarification. A further coincidence happens also at
. Figure 2 conveys the impression that some principle of reciprocity governs the Universe. It should be accompanied by a twin of opposed charge and chirality [28]. Then we might suppose that the Universe was born by pair creation like the electron and the positron, because nature always uses similar techniques from particle scale to cosmic scale.
The mass quotient between baryonic mass density and dark mass density or corresponding energy densities according to the IRT theory [27], taken at a chosen recession velocity β, not taken as integration over a velocity range as in [27], evaluates to
(29)
Inserting the last mentioned CBM mass constituents into Equation (29) would confirm a recession velocity β between
and
values of Guynn’s approach (see Figure 1)
(30)
This value is near the arithmetic mean between
and
, which is
[2].
At
the energy density ratio
delivers an interesting value (see also Chapter 7)
(31)
However, when integrating within the limits between zero and
, one gets for the baryonic mass constituent according to the IRT theory [27]
(32)
and for the dark energy constituent
(33)
(34)
In an upcoming contribution, we will link all these results to a common picture by presenting, as already implied, a scaling between Guynn’s “structure of matter and space approach” and the IRT theory. In this way, the unification of physics is steadily progressing, because the basis of our world is simpler than expected.
6. Rethinking Superconductivity
In previous publications, the present author has questioned the validity of the BCS theory. He connected the optimal concentration of superconducting carriers
with the fundamental number of the fifth power of the golden mean φ documenting the fractal nature of the electronic response in superconductors by the relation [29] [30]
(35)
This optimum is near a quantum critical point in the superconductor phase diagram. The new “structure of matter and space theory” of Guynn [2] may be an opportunity of rethinking superconductivity as suggested, for instance, by Hirsch [31]. Using the maximum of Guynn’s difference velocity
, a relation equivalent to Equation (35) would be
(36)
Also the quotient of the Fermi speed
to the Klitzing speed
gives a very simple relation [29]
(37)
It should not just be mere coincidence that a very simple numerical relationship exists between
and the mass constituents of the Universe including dark matter
(38)
A wanted new theory of superconductivity should consider more global aspects of this physical phenomenon with its important applications, where two electron holes after coupling into a wavy entity disappear in the dark and can reappear in the shape of electron holes, if the temperature rises again above the transition temperature. There is only one type of superconducting charge carriers: electron holes.
7. Symphony with Nature’s Effective Numbers
In the derived formulas, the reader very frequently found numbers that can be typified as effective numbers of nature, like the Archimedes constant π, the golden mean φ and its fifth power, and numbers of the Fibonacci number series such as 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, … [32]. Their simplicity and harmony can only be seen when we look at their infinitely continued fraction representations [33]. Repeated processes of nature up to an equilibrium state are characterized by such fundamental numbers, and therefore also coupling constant and the mass constituents of the universe indicate the signature of such numbers setting the symphony of life and cosmos to music. Remembering, the ε-infinity theory of El Naschie deals with such processes [19] [20]. The value of
is also interesting, because the separation between electron and positron at the moment of pair creation from a photon leads to the separation of
, where
is the Compton radius [15]. When transforming the velocity
to redshift by
, one gets about
. This ratio
of the ß-axis intercepts with reference to
(see Figure 2) may mark the limit of matter—antimatter asymmetry. A Fibonacci number based approximation is given by the sequence
[15]. Again we can find a reciprocity relation connecting an only marginally shifted
with the circle constant π
(39)
Geometrical frustration can indeed be a source for asymmetric behavior and the appearance of a pseudo-equilibrium state. The present author postulated such a frustration for the double helix of protofilament number of 13 [34].
Surprisingly, the product π∙φ5 of Archimedes constant π and the fifth power of the golden mean φ5 is found in the magic golden ratio architecture of the Great Pyramid at Giza as the ratio of the in-sphere volume of the pyramid to that of the pyramid itself [35] [36].
8. Conclusion
If we want to follow the path of unification of physics, then a holistic approach always provides examples for the conjecture that things are simpler than assumed. The present work describes simple reciprocity relationships of coupling constants determining the strength of forces exerted in physical interactions. Such relationships exist for Sommerfeld’s constant α, the strong coupling constant
, and also for the gravitational coupling constant
. The present work is based on the new structure of matter and space approach of Guynn. It underlines the importance of his galactic difference rotation velocity
indicating once more its impact on modern physics. The mass respectively energy constituents of the universe
can simply be related to the maximum of the difference velocity
respectively to the strong coupling constant
, confirming by this way a golden mean-based approach as evolutionary principle of nature. We can draw the following conclusion. The mass respectively energy constituents of our Universe influence decisively the Milky Way spiral galaxy and its maximum difference in rotation velocity and therewith the strength of all physical forces via the coupling constants between them.
