Derivation of mass (m), charge (e) and fine structure constant (FSC) from theory are unsolved problems in physics up to now. Neither the Standard Model (SM) nor the General theory of Relativity (GR) has provided a complete explanation for the existence of the rest mass, i.e. restmass of the electron. The question “of what is rest mass” is therefore still essentially unanswered. We will show that the combination of two Principle Theories, General Relativity and Thermodynamics (TD), is able to derive the restmass of an electron (m) which surprisingly depends on the (Sommerfeld) FSC. Same to the charge (e).
Recently we have presented in a paper that the combination of two Principle Theories, General Relativity (GR) and Thermodynamics (TD), is able to derive the restmass (m) of an electron which (surprisingly) depends on the Sommerfeld Fine Structure Constant (FSC). In this paper we present a completed calculation of the FSC number (1/α=137.035999024(9)) from a GR+TD point of view.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
