Intrinsic Proton Spin Derivation

Abstract and Introduction
Planck's constant h was derived for the first time from first principles, based on the intrinsic proton spin in the proton bit cycle, confirming the derivation based on the electron bit cycle (Fig. 1 from [1]) [2]. A new method to derive h and the intrinsic electron spin based on summation of 1-state bit motion components of the total angular momentum was applied to the proton bit cycle to sum its angular momentum components. Results confirm (1) binary mechanics (BM) [3] postulates including the physical interpretation of BM space [4] and the time-development bit operations underlying the fundamental forces [5] which create the proton and electron bit cycles themselves and (2) the victory of Binary Mechanics Lab (BML) in the century-long physics grand championship race to derive constants from first principles of a coherent, comprehensive physical theory (BM) [6].

Binary Mechanics FAQ

[Updated: June 19, 2020]
How is binary mechanics different from quantum mechanics (QM)?
Legacy QM and General Relativity (GR) utilize continuous space-time theory, while binary mechanics (BM) [1] quantizes both space and time leading to definition of fundamental length L and time T constants. Recall that Planck's constant is an energy-time product (Jsec), not energy quantization per se. BM quantized energy as a 1-state bit (energy quanta) in a size L bit locus cube, expressed as M in kg. In short, BM quantizes the three units of measurement (Fig. 1 from [2]) and defines the system state bit function as a spatial pattern of 1- and 0-state bits [3].

Further, with space-time-energy quantization, infinitesimal time-evolution operators in legacy QM -- e.g., Standard Model (SM) math -- are not applicable since only integer increments are allowed. Hence, four bit operations [4] were based on a pair of relativistic Dirac spinor equations of opposite handedness including electromagnetic field components (Fig. 3 from [5]). In sum, both system state and time-development in BM is full QM, while SM math is partial QM. BM is complete QM, while SM math is incomplete QM.

Elementary Charge Derivation

[Updated: Feb 3, 2019]
Abstract and Introduction
Breaking news: elementary charge e has been calculated for the first time from first principles of the leading comprehensive, fundamental quantum theory known as binary mechanics (BM) [1]. A quantized Coulomb force was defined (eq. 1). Based only on the time-development scalar bit operation [2] [3] and the three quantized units of measurement -- M, L and T (Fig. 1) [4], calculated electrostatic force (eq. 2) accounted for 97.6% of the quantized Coulomb force. Elementary charge e may be derived from three primary physics constants based on energy-space-time quantization (eqs. 3 and 4).

Particle Motion in Electric Fields

Abstract and Introduction
Previous work has shown that quanta in the proton and electron bit cycles [1] moved in the same direction under applied magnetic potential fields regardless of the opposite net electric charge of the two quanta groups [2] [3]. This report looked at the effects of an applied electric potential field in either of two directions along the Y axis. Proton and electron cycle quanta moved according to their electric charge as expected from Coulomb's law. Also, both M and L type quanta participate in coding future motion. These findings further demonstrate that the bit function (eqs. 2 and 39 in [4]) in binary mechanics (BM) contains simultaneous position and motion representation.

Particle Motion After Magnetic Pulse

Abstract and Introduction
Previous work has shown 1) object displacement after magnetic pulse injections [1] and 2) loss of motion-related inertia states after cooling to zero Kelvin [2]. These findings demonstrated that the bit function (eqs. 2 and 39 in [3]) in binary mechanics (BM) contains simultaneous position and motion representation. Therefore, the bit function is a major advance beyond the quantum mechanics (QM) wave function. Hence, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle has been demoted from fundamental QM precept to "observer effect". This paper replicates the particle motion study [1] adding separate tracking of energy quanta (1-state bits) in the oppositely-charged proton and electron bit cycles. Magnetic pulse injections displaced quanta regardless of electric charge, further supporting the notion that some or all L bits may represent magnetic monopoles. In sum, with eqs. 5 and 6 in [3], bit function M and L bits each have two types: plus or minus charge and right or left direction respectively.

Particle Flux and Motion

Abstract and Introduction
The postulates of binary mechanics (BM) [1] and physical interpretation of BM space [2] define fluxes of 1-state bits between spot units of particles of eight elementary types. Interparticle flux sequences define all possible particle motion events. In sum, the spot cube precisely defines 1) lepton-quark transitions, 2) quark-antiquark transitions, 3) the lepton motion mechanism, 4) lepton-mediated proton motion and 5) proton motion mediated by quark-antiquark transitions (Fig. 1). These interparticle flux and particle motion events form a tree which may be extended to define all possible particle interactions based solely on first principles.

Zero Kelvin Particle States

[Updated: May 27, 2018]
Abstract and Introduction
Related to the momentum concept, many L type 1-state bits may represent future particle motion [1]. Toward precise definition of leptons and quarks, elementary particle states were studied at zero Kelvin where particle motion is zero [2] thereby removing this momentum-related component. Results confirm previous reports [3] [4] where eight elementary particles [5] may be clearly distinguished by their specific states (Figs. 1 to 3). To further assess the effect of extreme cooling on system state, two conditions were compared: 1) zero Kelvin with zero particle motion and 2) a greater energy density with higher temperature and particle motion (Figs. 4 and 5). These data provide specific event detection criteria which may be incorporated in system state time-evolution and analysis software.

Proton-Electron Mass Ratio Derivation

[Updated: May 16, 2018]
Abstract and Introduction
Breaking news: Binary Mechanics Lab (BML) announces the first-ever derivation of the proton-electron mass ratio (Fig. 1). The derivation depended only on first principles of the comprehensive, fundamental physical theory known as binary mechanics (BM) [1] [2], without use of any mathematical constants or physical constants based on experimental measurements. A major consequence of this milestone discovery is two operational definitions of mass: 1) a fundamental, invariant value as a function of electron mass m_e and 2) the observed proton mass which depends on energy (1-state bit) density.

Particle States Evolution

[Updated: May 12, 2018]
Abstract and Introduction
The effect of the time-evolution bit operations on elementary particle states [1] was examined by comparing proportions of spot states for each particle (spot type) with expected proportions based on random distribution of 1-state bits. Results include: 1) reduced probabilities of absolute vacuum and 2) increased probabilities of selected spot states (M and L bit composition) for each particle type, replicating previous findings [2]. That is, the time-development bit operations alter system state (the bit function) by concentrating 1-state M and L bits in selections of specific spot states in each elementary particle (spot type). These data define 1) a specific role of the magnetic force (vector bit operation) in particle differentiation and 2) a possible operational definition of "magnetic monopoles".

Bit Function Analysis

Abstract and Introduction
The Binary Mechanics Lab (BML) software release for Bit Function Analysis (BFA) may mark a milestone particle physics methodology advance. Particle interactions and effects of various independent variables such as electromagnetic potentials may now be viewed and assessed directly thereby reducing reliance on operational definition from distant event detector outputs, as currently used at particle accelerator sites such as CERN. This article describes use of the BFA program and some preliminary results which suggest that electron and quark particles and their energy levels may now be rigorously defined through direct observation.

Hurricane Hits Physics

Abstract and Introduction
On Sept. 18, 2017, Cat 5 hurricane Maria destroyed Binary Mechanics Lab (BML), located in the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Caribbean West Indies windward islands. just as BML was emerging as the leading fundamental physics lab in the world (see e.g. [1] [2] [3]). For over six months, BML had no utility-supplied electric power and internet. At present, BML has been largely rebuilt. This article reviews upcoming BML activities, including research publications and software.

JBinMech 2018

JBinMech 2018 started with the headline: Hurricane Hits Physics [1]. In Sep, 2017, hurricane Maria literally destroyed the Binary Mechanics Lab (BML) building with a six month internet/phone blackout. Meanwhile, a figurative hurricane continued to hit the physics community with BML's first-ever derivation of Planck constant h from first principles in 2015.

More basic physics constants were derived from binary mechanics postulates: proton-electron mass ratio [4], elementary charge e [9] and Planck constant h and intrinsic proton spin, based on the proton bit cycle [12].

A Bit Function Analysis program (BFA) was a major addition to BML software where users could analyze any system state (bit function saved to *.s file) as incidence of 64 "particle states" for each of eight elementary particles [2]. Examples: Particle states evolution could be studied starting with an initial state with random seeding of 1-state bits at a selected bit density [3]. The exact bit function defining each elementary particle could be studied at zero Kelvin, where all 1-state bits representing motion and heat are absent [5].

Analysis of the binary mechanics model of physical space yielded new discoveries of lepton-quark and quark-antiquark energy (1-state bit) fluxes defining three particle motion mechanisms: 1) lepton motion, 2) lepton-mediated proton motion and 3) quark-antiquark proton motion [6]. Recall that physics addresses how things work, and in this case, how things move.

Experiments demonstrated predicted particle motion in magnetic and electric fields [7] [8]. Magnetic pulse injection results suggested 1-state L bits may define "magnetic monopoles", at least under selected conditions.

A binary mechanics FAQ was published [10] highlighting the BML win of the century-old physics grand championship race to derive constants from first principles of a coherent, comprehensive physical theory. Finally, memes for physicists started to appear on BML bulletin boards [11] [13].
