Abstract

Several invariant properties of matter seem to fit remarkably well to quantized values obtained from Planck domain units by period doubling in three dimensions. The units are defined using natural constants only. Such properties include the elementary electric charge, electron and proton rest energies and others. It has been shown by W. G. Tifft that the quantized redshifts of galaxies fit the pattern, too. Magnetic moments of the electron, proton, neutron, muon and lambda particles also seem to obey the doubling rule. The same number of doublings seems to yield the electron and proton rest masses and magnetic moments correspondingly. The proton rest mass is E0×2−64 and the magnetic moment µ o × 264, where E0 and µ o are the Planck domain units. The corresponding exponent of 2 for the electron is 75.66. The units for the proton and the electron differ by a factor of\(\sqrt \pi \). The magnetic moment of the muon suggests a close relationship between the magnetic structures of the muon and the proton, whereas the lambda particle seems to be related to the neutron. Reasons for the supposed existence of quantized 3-d time are represented.
