“…Still, there are others [12] that are more on the Bridgman side and think of the Planck units more like a mathematical artifact, or at least something we never can measure except from deriving it through dimensional analysis. However, recently we [13] have shown how one can measure the Planck length independent of G and~using a Newton force spring, although this method is somewhat more complicated than shown here. Here, we will extend our analysis to measure the Planck length with a ball with a built-in stopwatch -this makes it particularly easy to perform such an experiment, even high school physics students can now get a better feel of how one can extract the Planck length from gravity phenomena.…”

In this paper we show how one can extract the Planck length from ball with a built-in stopwatch with no knowledge of the Newtonian gravitational constant or the Planck constant. This is remarkable as until recently it has been assumed one cannot find the Planck length without knowledge of Newton’s gravitational constant. This method of measuring the Planck length should also be of great interest to not only physics researchers but also to physics teachers and students as it conveniently demonstrates that the Plank length is directly linked to gravitational phenomena, not only theoretically, but practically. To demonstrate that this is more than a theory we report 100 measurements of the Planck length using this simple approach. We will claim that, despite the mathematical and experimental simplicity, our findings could be of great importance in better understanding the Planck scale, as our findings strongly support the idea that to detect gravity is to detect the e↵ects from the Planck scale indirectly.

“…We to a large degree agree with such an argument, but even if a composite particle or even a large composite mass does not have one single Compton wavelength, they ultimately consist of many elementary particles with a Compton wavelength. The aggregates of the individual Compton wavelength in any mass are given by the relation below (see also [13])…”

“…Haug [6] [34] has shown how to find the Planck length independently of both G and  using a Cavendish apparatus, and without G using a Newton force spring, see [35]. We extend this work to show how a grandfather pendulum clock can be used to find the Planck time (and thereby naturally the Planck length as well) independently of any knowledge of G. Huygens [1] was the first to derive the formula for the period of an ideal mathematical pendulum…”

Haug has recently introduced a new theory of unified quantum gravity coined "Collision Space-Time". From this new and deeper understanding of mass, we can also understand how a grandfather pendulum clock can be used to measure the world's shortest time interval, namely the Planck time, indirectly, without any knowledge of G. Therefore, such a clock can also be used to measure the diameter of an indivisible particle indirectly. Further, such a clock can easily measure the Schwarzschild radius of the gravity object and what we will call "Schwarzschild time". These facts basically prove that the Newton gravitational constant is not needed to find the Planck length or the Planck time; it is also not needed to find the Schwarzschild radius. Unfortunately, there is significant inertia towards new ideas that could significantly alter our perspective on the fundamentals in the current physics establishment. However, this situation is not new in the history of science. Still, the idea that the Planck time can be measured totally independently of any knowledge of Newton's gravitational constant could be very important for moving forward in physics. Interestingly, an old instrument that today is often thought of as primitive instrument can measure the world's shortest possible time interval. No atomic clock or optical clock is even close to be able to do this.

“…Actually, all Newtonian gravitational phenomena contain lpc. For example, [61] has recently shown how lpc can be extracted from a Newton gravity force spring without any knowledge of G orh. We have already shown how to find the Compton frequency for any mass size.…”

In this paper we will show that standard physics to a large degree consists of derivatives of a deeper reality. This means standard physics is both overly complex and also incomplete. Modern physics has typically started from working with first understanding the surface of the world, that is typically the macroscopic world, and then forming theories about the atomic and subatomic world. And we did not have much of a choice, as the subatomic world is very hard to observe directly, if not impossible to observe directly at the deepest level. Despite the enormous success of modern physics, it is therefore no big surprise that we at some point have possibly taken a step in the wrong direction. We will claim that one such step came when one thought that the de Broglie wavelength represented a real matter wavelength. We will claim that the Compton wavelength is the real matter wavelength. Based on such a view we will see that many equations in modern physics are only derivatives of much simpler relations. Second, we will claim that in today’s physics one uses two different mass definitions, one mass definition that is complete or at least more complete, embedded in gravity equations without being aware of it, as it is concealed in GM, and the standard, but incomplete, kg mass definition in non-gravitational physics. First, when this is understood, and one uses the more complete mass definition that is embedded in gravity physics, not only in gravity physics, but in all of physics, then one has a chance to unify gravity and quantum mechanics. Our new theory shows that most physical phenomena when observed over a very short timescale are probabilistic for masses smaller than a Planck mass and dominated by determinism at or above Planck mass size. Our findings have many implications. For example, we show that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is rooted in a foundation not valid for rest-mass particles, so the Heisenberg uncertainty principle can say nothing about rest-masses. When re-formulated based on a foundation compatible with a new momentum that is also compatible with rest-masses, we obtain a re-defined Heisenberg principle that seems to become a certainty principle in the special case of a Planck mass particle. Furthermore, we show that the Planck mass particle is linked to gravity and that we can easily detect the Planck scale from gravity observations. The Planck mass particle is unique as it only lasts the Planck time, and in that very short time period it can only be observed directly from itself, and it therefore closely linked to absolute rest.
