Proton-Electron Mass Ratio: a Geometric Inference

Authors: P.R. Silva

In this paper we propose that the inertial masses of the proton and of the electron can be associated to volumes of the unit cells of hyper-cubic lattices constructed in the momentum space. The sizes of the edges of these cells are given by the Planck’s momentum in the case of the electron, and by a modified Planck’s momentum in the case of the proton. We introduce a “conservation of information principle” in order to obtain the wave function which leads to this modified momentum. This modification is attributed to the curvature of the space-time, and in doing this, the concept of the entropy of a black hole has been considered. The obtained proton-electron mass ratio reproduces various results of the literature, and compares well with the experimental findings.
