“…where N is the number of Planck masses in the mass. Our point is the the Schwartzschild radius is linked to the Planck length, and the Planck length can be found independent of any knowledge of G and , but based on gravity observations only, as shown by Haug (2018a). Further, SR is not consistent with such a minimum length.…”

“…However, we have recently shown that the Planck length can be found totally independent of both Newton's gravitational constant and the Planck constant. Based on simple gravity observations, we can find the Planck length and given the speed of light, we can complete just about any gravity predictions that may be needed (Haug, 2018a), see also Haug (2017aHaug ( , 2018b. We only need G when we want to find the weight of an object from gravity observations (and even then we can do without G), which is why Cavendish is considered to be the first one to indirectly measure G by weighing the Earth.…”

“…1; Our maximum velocity formula predicts breaks in Lorentz symmetry at the Planck scale. Even after years of careful study on the problem, it is not surprising that we have only been able to find the Planck length from gravity observations, either indirectly through G and also and c (the Max Planck way), or the much more direct approach described by Haug (2018a) that is independent of G and . Could the fact that we observe gravity actually be an observation of breaks in Lorentz symmetry?…”

Does Special Relativity Lead to a Trans-Planckian Crisis?

In gravity theory, there is a well-known trans-Planckian problem, which is that general relativity theory leads to a shorter than Planck length and shorter than Planck time in relation to so-called black holes. However, there has been little focus on the fact that special relativity also leads to a trans-Planckian problem, something we will demonstrate here. According to special relativity, an object with mass must move slower than light, but special relativity has no limits on how close to the speed of light something with mass can move. This leads to a scenario where objects can undergo so much length contraction that they will become shorter than the Planck length as measured from another frame, and we can also have shorter time intervals than the Planck time.The trans-Planckian problem is easily solved by a small modification that assumes Haug's maximum velocity for matter is the ultimate speed limit for something with mass. This speed limit depends on the Planck length, which can be measured without any knowledge of Newton's gravitational constant or the Planck constant.

“…We think the Schwarzschild radius plays an important role in gravity, but that it is related to some quite different aspects of matter than those assumed by standard theory. The aware that both p l and λ can be measured independent of GR and without any knowledge of big G, see [25] [26]. For any known elementary particle, such as the electron, the reduced Compton wavelength is much larger than the Planck length.…”

We show how one can measure the speed of gravity only using gravitational phenomena. Our approach offers several ways to measure the speed of gravity (light) and checks existing assumptions about light (gravity) in new types of experiments. The speed of light is included in several well-known gravitational formulas. However, if we can measure this speed from gravitational phenomena alone, then is it the speed of light or the speed of gravity we are measuring? We think it is more than a mere coincidence that they are the same. In addition, even if it is not possible to draw strong conclusions now, our formulations support the view that there is a link between electromagnetism and gravity. This paper also shows that all major gravity phenomena can be predicted from only performing two to three light observations. There is no need for knowledge of Newton's gravitational constant G or the mass size to complete a series of major gravity predictions.

The trans-Planckian problem is easily solved by a small modication that assumes Haug's maximum velocity for matter is the ultimate speed limit for something with mass. This speed limit depends on the Planck length, which can be measured without any knowledge of Newton's gravitational constant or the Planck constant. After a long period of slow progress in theoretical physics, we are now in a Klondike "gold rush" period where many of the essential pieces are falling in place.
