A Surprising Link Between Gravity and Light Speed: A Breakthrough Inspired by Zhang’s Unified Field Theory

Introduction

Is it possible that gravity, often considered the weakest of nature’s forces, is not so distant from the speed of light and other fundamental constants after all?

A startling discovery by Liu Yanqing, inspired by Zhang XiangQian’s Unified Field Theory, suggests just that. Liu—formerly a staff member at the People’s Bank of China—used Zhang’s theoretical framework to derive a new expression for the gravitational constant GGG using several fundamental constants: the speed of light ccc, Planck’s constant ℏ\hbarℏ, the fine-structure constant α\alphaα, and the vacuum permittivity ε0\varepsilon_0ε0​.

The result is a theoretically self-consistent expression that bridges classical gravitation and quantum mechanics. Even more surprising, when this expression for GGG is applied to the hydrogen atom model, it reproduces the exact results predicted by traditional quantum mechanics, including the Bohr radius and energy levels.


The Formula

Liu proposed the following relationship (simplified below):

G=f(α,ℏ,c,ε0)G = f(\alpha, \hbar, c, \varepsilon_0)G=f(α,ℏ,c,ε0​)


While we’re holding the exact formula for formal peer review, it is dimensionally consistent and numerically valid when known physical constants are substituted.

The formula satisfies the condition that:

  • The Bohr radius remains unchanged.

  • The hydrogen atom’s energy levels match textbook values.

  • The result confirms internal mathematical consistency between gravitational coupling and electromagnetic interaction.




Why This Matters

For centuries, physicists have tried to unify the forces of nature—gravity, electromagnetism, and the quantum forces—into one coherent framework. Einstein devoted the latter half of his life to such a pursuit, and many physicists have since carried that torch.

What Liu’s result suggests—if validated—is that Zhang’s Unified Field Theory may offer more than just a philosophical or speculative framework. It may mathematically integrate gravity into the same system of constants that govern light and quantum behavior.

This would be a historic milestone, not just in theoretical physics, but in our understanding of reality itself.


What’s Next

  1. Formal Paper Preparation: A technical manuscript is being prepared with full derivation and validation steps.

  2. Peer Feedback: The draft will be shared with physicists and researchers for scrutiny and replication.

  3. Public Preprint Submission: A version may be uploaded to an academic preprint server such as arXiv.org or viXra.org, pending endorsement and review.

  4. Journal Publication: Submission to peer-reviewed journals will follow, along with updates here.
