ABSTRACT: Though
not well-known, Einstein endeavored much of his life to general-relativize
quantum mechanics, (rather than
quantizing gravity). Albeit he did not succeed, his legacy lives on. In
this paper, we begin with the general relativistic field equations describing
flat spacetime, but stimulated by vacuum energy fluctuations. In our precursor
paper, after straightforward general relativistic calculations, the resulting
covariant and contravariant energy-momentum tensors were identified as n-valued operators describing graviton
excitation. From these two operators, we were able to generate all three boson
masses (including the Higgs mass)
in precise agreement as reported in the 2010 CODATA (NIST); moreover local,
as-well-as large-scale, accelerated spacetimes were shown to naturally occur
from this general relativized quantum physics approach (RQP). In this paper,
applying the same approach, we produce an n-valued Coulombs Force Law leading
to the energy spectrum for atomic hydrogen, without assuming quantized atomic
radii, velocity and momentum, as Bohr did.
