Dear Mr. Berndt Barkholz,

Thank you for your detailed exploration of the minimum radius  and its implications for gravitational dynamics. Your approach provides a thought-provoking perspective that challenges conventional interpretations.

1. Minimum Radius rₘᵢₙ: You proposed rₘᵢₙ = Gm/c² as the smallest radius associated with a mass m, where gravitational effects dominate.

2. Orbital Velocity Condition: Your discussion on the orbital velocity condition v₀ = √Gm/r < c underscores the critical relationship between orbital mechanics and gravitational parameters. (R < Gm/c²).

3. Deriving rₘᵢₙ: From the orbital velocity condition, we derived rₘᵢₙ = Gm/c², highlighting its significance in delineating regions where relativistic effects become profound.

4. Finding R or rₘᵢₙ: Determining R or rₘᵢₙ without external references like the Planck scale requires specific observational or theoretical constraints pertinent to the physical system in question.

5. Determining m: Once R or rₘᵢₙ is established, m can be computed using rₘᵢₙ = Gm/c², adhering strictly to gravitational dynamics rather than external theoretical scales.

Acknowledging the rationality of your approach, it remains essential to substantiate the proposed relationship m = 1.349×10²⁷ × rₘᵢₙ  with empirical or theoretical values for either m or rₘᵢₙ. This clarity is crucial for validating the assertion that rₘᵢₙ represents the smallest possible radius without recourse to external scales.

Critical Consideration:

In the context of your analysis, it is important to note that Planck units are indeed relevant and essential, especially when considering the condition R < Lp. In such a scenario, the relationship ℓᴘ/tᴘ > vᴀᴠɢₘₐₓ > c becomes significant, where c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

In conclusion, your contributions open avenues for deeper exploration into gravitational theory. Clarifying the values of m or rₘᵢₙ would strengthen the scientific basis of your hypothesis and its implications for our understanding of gravitational phenomena.

Best regards,

Abstract:

This text explores the smallest possible radius for a mass using the Schwarzschild radius equation, emphasizing the distinction between rest mass and relativistic mass. By setting the Schwarzschild radius to the Planck length, the mass resolves to the Planck mass (approximately 21.77 μg). This demonstrates the fundamental limit where quantum gravitational effects become significant.

Keywords: Schwarzschild radius, Planck mass, Rest mass, Quantum gravity, Planck length,

In the context of the Schwarzschild radius equation, the mass m typically refers to the rest mass (or invariant mass) of an object, not the relativistic mass. The Schwarzschild radius is derived from general relativity and applies to objects with rest mass, describing the radius at which the escape velocity equals the speed of light.

1. Schwarzschild Radius Equation (Smallest Possible Radius for a Mass):

Rₛ = 2Gm/c²

2. Expressing the Smallest Possible Radius:

Rₘᵢₙ = 2G/c²·m =Rₛ

3. Setting Rₘᵢₙ to the Planck Length (Lᴘ): 

Lᴘ = 2G/c²·m

4. Solving for m (Planck Mass): 

m = (√ℏG/c³)·c²/2G = √ℏc/G = mᴘ ≈ 21.77 μg

Conclusion:

The smallest possible radius for a mass is given by:

Rₘᵢₙ = 2G/c²·m =Rₛ

This holds true when:

Rₘᵢₙ = Lᴘ

Clarification on Mass m: 

• Type of Mass: The mass m in the Schwarzschild radius equation is the rest mass (invariant mass).

• Planck Mass: In the context of setting Rₘᵢₙ to the Planck length (Lᴘ), the mass m resolves to the Planck mass (mᴘ), which is approximately 21.77 µg.

The rest mass m considered in the Schwarzschild radius equation is equivalent in value to the Planck mass mᴘ when the smallest possible radius Rₘᵢₙ is set to the Planck length Lᴘ. This equivalence underscores the fundamental limit where quantum gravitational effects become significant.

Conclusion:

The equational presentation of the smallest possible radius for a mass, as described by the Schwarzschild radius equation and its connection to the Planck length, highlights the pivotal role of rest mass (invariant mass) in gravitational physics. Setting the smallest radius to the Planck length corresponds to the Planck mass, approximately 21.77 μg, signifying the boundary where quantum gravitational effects become prominent. This alignment underscores the fundamental interplay between mass, radius, and the onset of quantum gravity at microscopic scales.

Maximum Speed of Electromagnetic Waves: Planck Length and Planck Time in Relation to the Speed of Light.

Max Planck formulated his expressions for the Planck scale in 1899, which was before the development of both relativity and quantum mechanics. The relationship between the Planck length (ℓₚ) and the Planck time (tₚ) to find the maximum speed of electromagnetic waves.

Given:

ℓₚ is the Planck length, which is the smallest possible perceptible length.

tₚ is the Planck time, which is the shortest possible meaningful time.

The speed of propagation vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ is the distance the wave travels in a given time, which is one wavelength in a time of one period. In equation form, it is written as: vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ = λ/T.

Since, vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ = λ/T = fλ, the maximum speed of electromagnetic waves, vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ), can be given by the ratio of the Planck length to the Planck time:

vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ) = ℓₚ/tₚ 

The Planck length (ℓₚ) is defined as:

ℓₚ = √ℏG/c³

The Planck time (tₚ) is defined as:

tₚ = √ℏG/c⁵

To find vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ), substitute these definitions into the ratio:

vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ) = √(ℏG/c³)/√(ℏG/c⁵) 

Simplify the expression:

vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ) = √(ℏG/c³)/√(ℏG/c⁵) = √c²

vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ) = c

Thus, the maximum speed of electromagnetic waves is:

vᵥᵥₐᵥₑ(ₘₐₓ) = c

This confirms that the maximum speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light (c), which aligns with our current understanding of physics.

Inverse-square law:

The inverse-square law is a scientific principle stating that the observed intensity of a physical quantity decreases in proportion to the square of the distance from its source. This phenomenon arises due to the geometric spreading of radiation from a point source in three-dimensional space.

• Intensity ∝ 1/distance²
• Intensity₁ × 1/distance₁² = Intensity₂ × 1/distance₂²

Abstract:

This abstract discusses the significance of Planck energy compared to relativistic mass-energy equivalence and Schwarzschild's invariant mass energy, focusing on their respective roles in physics and their theoretical underpinnings. Planck energy, approximately 6.2 × 10⁹ joules, represents a scale where quantum gravitational effects become significant, derived from fundamental constants including Planck's constant, the speed of light, and the gravitational constant. In contrast, relativistic mass-energy equivalence, around 1.958805 × 10⁹ joules for a Planck mass of 21.7645 micrograms, simplifies energy calculations based solely on mass and the speed of light. Schwarzschild's invariant mass energy, similarly around 1.958805 × 10⁹ joules for the same mass, is derived from the Schwarzschild radius equation, which describes the radius of a black hole. The discussion highlights the historical context of Newtonian gravity, Max Planck's contributions to quantum theory, and Albert Einstein's formulation of general relativity. It clarifies that while Planck's scales predate general relativity, they inform ongoing theoretical explorations into quantum gravity. This abstract underscores the complementary roles of Planck energy, relativistic mass-energy equivalence, and Schwarzschild's invariant mass energy in advancing our understanding of gravity and the universe.

Keywords: Planck energy, relativistic mass-energy equivalence, Schwarzschild's invariant mass energy, quantum mechanics, general relativity, Newtonian gravity, Planck scales, theoretical physics, gravitational effects, fundamental constants.

Planck Energy (≈ 6.2 × 10⁹ J):

• Comprehensive Energy Scale: Represents the energy scale at which quantum gravitational effects become significant.

• Derived from Fundamental Constants: Calculated using the reduced Planck constant (ℏ), the speed of light (c), and the gravitational constant (G).

• Quantum Gravitational Effects: Includes considerations of quantum mechanics.

Relativistic Mass-Energy Equivalence (≈ 1.958805 × 10⁹ J for 21.7645 micrograms):

• Rest Mass Energy: Represents the energy purely from converting mass to energy using E=mc².

• Simpler Calculation: Involves only the mass (m) and the speed of light (c).

Schwarzschild's Invariant Mass Energy (≈ 1.958805 × 10⁹ J for 21.7645 micrograms):

• Black Hole Mass Energy: Represents the energy associated with the invariant mass of a black hole as described by the Schwarzschild radius equation.

• Derived from Schwarzschild Radius Equation: Involves the gravitational constant (G), the speed of light (c), and the invariant mass (m).

Planck Energy vs. Relativistic Mass-Energy Equivalence vs. Schwarzschild's Invariant Mass Energy for Planck Mass:

For Planck mass 21.7645 micrograms (μg):

• Planck Energy (≈ ≈ 6.2 × 10⁹ J) is greater than both Relativistic Mass-Energy Equivalence (≈ 1.958805 × 10⁹ J) and Schwarzschild's Invariant Mass Energy (≈ 1.958805 × 10⁹ J).

Chronological Order of Developments in Physics:

Sir Isaac Newton's 1687 Description of Gravity: Sir Isaac Newton's 1687 description of gravity is considered valid and widely used in practical applications by space agencies worldwide. Newton's description, based on empirical experiments, explains gravity as a force that acts instantaneously over a distance, resulting in a pull between any two objects in the universe.

Max Planck's 1899 Introduction of Planck Scales and Units: Max Planck introduced the Planck scales and Planck units in 1899, which were derived based on fundamental constants such as the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck's constant. These units set the scale at which quantum effects become significant and laid the groundwork for quantum theory.

Albert Einstein's General Relativity (1915-1916): General relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein and published in 1915-1916, introduced a new understanding of gravitation as the curvature of spacetime caused by matter and energy. It provided a different framework for understanding gravitational effects compared to both Newtonian gravity and quantum mechanics.

Clarifications on Quantum Gravitational Effects:

When discussing "quantum gravitational effects" in the context of Planck energy or Planck scales, it's important to clarify that these discussions are often theoretical extensions or explorations. They anticipate how quantum theory might intersect with gravitational phenomena, particularly at extremely small scales or high energies. However, the full theory of quantum gravity, which seeks to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity into a single framework, remains an ongoing challenge in theoretical physics.

Therefore, it wouldn't be accurate to say that Max Planck's derivation of Planck scales in 1900 included considerations of general relativity, as general relativity as a theory came later. Instead, Planck's work established a foundational understanding of quantum effects, and later developments, including general relativity and Newtonian gravity, contributed to our broader understanding of gravity and the cosmos.

Summary:

The Planck energy is a broader, more encompassing measure that takes into account the intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and gravitational forces. Relativistic mass-energy equivalence and Schwarzschild's invariant mass energy pertain to the direct conversion of mass into energy, with the latter also considering black hole metrics without these additional considerations.
