Abstract: The gravitational constant (G) was first measured by Henry Cavendish in 1798. Caven-
dish's experiment, known as the Cavendish experiment, involved a torsion balance to measure the
very small gravitational force between two masses. One hundred years later, in 1900, Max Planck
introduced the Planck constant (h). Planck derived the constant as part of his groundbreaking work
in quantum theory. The gravitational constant is used extensively within Albert Einstein's theory of
general relativity, while the Planck constant is of foundational importance in quantum mechanics.
However, these two fields of physics are fundamentally incompatible, and a coherent theory to
unify the two has been the Holy Grail of physics for nearly a century. Here, we show that the grav-
itational and Planck constants can be unified with the introduction of a new term, the energy stream
constant (ψ). As a result, the exact values of both constants can now be calculated using equations

to the derivation of these equations, the value of both constants could only be realized through direct
measurement. Furthermore, the energy stream constant demonstrates that mass, space, and time
have energy equivalence. Just as mass can be represented as energy (𝐸 = 𝑚𝑐 2 ), so can space and
time. The energy stream constant and its supporting equations represent the first concrete step to-
wards unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Introduction
Since their introduction, the values of gravitational and Planck constants have been
derived solely through direct measurement. While there are existing equations that can
be used to calculate their values, the terms used in these equations require direct meas-
urement or are themselves derived from the constants they are being used to calculate.

The Calculations
With the unit constants defined, the mass charge, vacuum charge, and energy stream
constants can be calculated for the SI units:

This calculated value for the energy stream constant (using the mass and vacuum
charge constants) is exactly equal to the value calculated using the elementary charge and
the fine structure constant. And now that the value for the energy stream constant has
been derived and verified, the Planck and gravitational constants can be calculated:

The defined SI value of the Planck constant (h) is 6.62607015 ∙ 10−34 , which is exactly
equal to the calculated value. The current recommended CODATA value for the gravita-
tional constant (G) is equal to 6.67430(15) ∙ 10−11 , which varies from the calculated value
by ~.0036%. Note that the value for the gravitational constant of the CAS is equal to ex-
actly 1 (one).

Where 𝑙 3 is the volume of space, 𝑡 is time, 𝜌𝑣 is the vacuum density constant, 𝑄𝑚 is the
mass charge constant, 𝜓 is the energy stream constant, and 𝛾 is the Lorentz factor. The
non-relativistic equations for energy and frequency are identical to these, except the Lo-
rentz factor term is omitted.
In addition to energy, space (and time) can also be represented as momentum. The
properties of such vacuum momentum become interesting when considering the observed
effects of so-called dark matter (as a consequence of this momentum). Furthermore, vac-
uum momentum creates negative force when space expands near mass. That is, time dila-
tion created by the presence of mass slows the relative rate of expansion of space (relative
to the space expanding at a further distance away from the mass). This “compresses” the
space around the mass. This compression appears to be the force known as gravity.
Conclusion
Within this paper, we have shown that the Planck constant is not a fundamental con-
stant, but rather a function of energy density (of units) and the speed of light (c). Further-
more, we have shown that not only can the value of Planck constant be derived from an
equation using the energy stream constant (ψ) and the speed of light, but the gravitational
constant can be calculated using the same energy stream constant. In addition, the results
of these calculations carry an unprecedented level of precision.
Finally, the equivalence of mass, space, and time can be logically derived from the
strucutre and value of these constants and equations. The implications of this equivalence
are far reaching and groundbreaking. For example, if space and time can be represented
as energy, then space and time can also be quantized. The energy stream constant repre-
sents a breakthrough in physics on a scale not seen since the introduction of special rela-
tivity (𝐸 = 𝑚𝑐 2 ).
