The Elementary Electron Charge

From the post "Pound To Rescue Permittivity" dated 30 May 2016,

εo=12c2ln(cosh(π))

after applying the 3 factor to account for 3D space,

εo=12c2ln(cosh(π))3

εo=122997924582ln(cosh(π))3=3.9325e(18)

Why was it not necessary to divide by the Durian constant AD=43π(2c)3=9.029022e26?

Because the elementary charge qe has absorbed the constant,

qeqAD

Given one particle, q=1

qe=19.029022e26=1.107540e27

since by definition,

εo=1μoc2=14π×107c2

If we adjust qe by the factor,

2ln(cosh(π))4π×1073

to return to the definition of εo. ie,

12c2ln(cosh(π))31μoc2=14π×107c2

As both denominator and numerator of qεoare multiplied by the same factor, we have,

qadj=qe2ln(cosh(π))4π×1073

qadj=19.029022e262ln(cosh(π))4π×1073=2.493676e21

and we further account for the fact that 77 particles coalesce up to the limit tanh(G2mc2aψπ)=1

π3.135009

ln(cosh(π))ln(cosh(3.135009))

that is,

εo=12c2ln(cosh(3.135009))

and so,

qadj=19.029022e262ln(cosh(3.135009))4π×107377=1.914991e19

we compare this with the quoted value of e=1.602176565e19, we are about 1.195 times off.

If we do not adjust for the factor 3,

qadj=19.029022e262ln(cosh(3.135009))4π×10777=3.316861e19

we are about twice off the quoted value,

qadj2=3.316861e192=1.658431e19

What happened?  If the experiment to obtain e is with point charges then we may not have to factor in 3 for charged bodies in 3D space, but this results in a calculated elementary charge of twice the quoted value.

When we do factor in 3, the discrepancy seems to reflect the ratio between the Durian constant and Avogadro constant,

ADAv=9.029022e266.02214e26=1.49930

there is however no reason to adjust the Durian constant here.   Furthermore, swapping Durian for Avogadro increases the calculated charge, qe that is already too high.

Otherwise, another constant hangs on my wall!

Note:  Dividing by the Durian constant was necessary to account for entanglement.
