چکیده
Recent observations confirm quantized galactic redshifts and hint a possible new form of quantum mechanics, which could probably explain these observed properties of the galaxies. This brief contribution investigates a possible relation between the new cosmic Planck constant g h and other fundamental constants of physics. Introduction Since it was found that the recession velocities for single and double galaxies appear to be quantized, [1] then a new quantum of action was also derived to yield [2], [3]: ( ) 74 2 2 10 0 . 7 3 1 × ≅ + = V H M g h erg⋅s (1) where: V = 12 km/s, M = 10 gm, and H = 1.7×10 s. If we now use Weinberg’s relation for the mass of an elementary particle [4] and changing g h h → we have: ⊗ × = × = = = M Gc H m m o g g π 9 42 3 / 1 2 10 77 . 3 g 10 466 . 7 h (2) This value of mass can be considered as a lower bound for the mass of a galaxy now playing the role of a “particle” in this new scheme of cosmic quantum mechanics. Next, the upper particle mass can be obtained via the substitution g h h → into the Planck mass formula namely: ⊗ × = × = = M G c m g upper g 12 46 2 / 1 10 961 . 8 g 10 774 . 1 h (3) Looking at the numbers just obtained in (1), and (2) we can easily see that they represent galactic masses of some kind. The first mass obtained for a typical elementary particle in the cosmic quantum mechanics hypothesis, where galaxies are treated like particles, simply represents a mass slightly greater by a factor of hundred than that of dwarf galaxies, since ⊗ − = M M D ) 10 10 ( 7 5 [5]. This could also suggest that the lower bound for a galactic particle might be higher than the dwarf but less than most galaxies in the

Possible Cosmic Quantum Mechanics in Astrophysics
Recent observations confirm that galactic redshifts are quantized and hint at a possible new form of quantum mechanics on a cosmic scale, which could probably explain these observed properties of galaxies. This brief paper investigates a possible relationship between the new cosmic Planck constant and other fundamental constants of physics. g
متن کاملHigh-Energy Astrophysics and Cosmology
Interfaces between high-energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the important roles played by high-energy cosmic-ray physics. These include the understanding of atmospheric neutrinos, the search for massive cold dark matter particles and possible tests of models of quantum gravity. In return, experiments at the LHC may be useful for refining models o...
متن کاملTime Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
متن کاملImplications of Ultrahigh Energy Air Showers for Physics and Astrophysics
The primary ultrahigh energy particles which produce giant extensive air showers in the Earth’s atmosphere present an intriguing mystery from two points of view: (1) How are these particles produced with such astounding energies, eight orders of magnitude higher than those produced by the best man-made terrestrial accelerators? (2) Since they are most likely extragalactic in origin, how do they...
متن کاملCosmic Physics: the High Energy Frontier
Cosmic rays have been observed up to energies 10 times larger than those of the best particle accelerators. Studies of astrophysical particles (hadrons, neutrinos and photons) at their highest observed energies have implications for fundamental physics as well as astrophysics. Thus, the cosmic high energy frontier is the nexus to new particle physics. This overview discusses recent advances bei...
