Derivation of the Photon & Graviton Mass-Energies & Radii Riccardo C. Storti1, Todd J. Desiato
Abstract The construct herein utilises the Photon mass-energy threshold “mγ”, as derived by Storti et. al., to facilitate the precise derivation of the mass-energies of a Photon and Graviton [mγγ = 3.2 x 10-45 (eV) and mgg = 6.4 x 10-45 (eV) respectively]. Moreover, recognising the wave-particle duality of the Photon, the root-mean-square (RMS) charge radii of a free Photon and Graviton [rγγ = 2.3 x 10-35 (m) and rgg = 3.1 x 10-35 (m) respectively] is derived to high computational precision. In addition, the RMS charge diameters of a Photon and Graviton (“φγγ” and “φgg” respectively) are shown to be in agreement with generalised Quantum Gravity (QG) models, implicitly supporting the limiting definition of the Planck length “λh”. The value of “φγγ” is illustrated to be “≈λh”, whilst the value of “φgg” is demonstrated to be “≈1.5λh”.

ITRODUCTIO
Storti et. al. demonstrated in [1], based on the physical properties of an Electron, that the Polarizable Vacuum (PV) model of gravitation, [2] complimenting General Relativity (GR) in the weak field, is capable of predicting the Photon mass-energy threshold “mγ” to within 4.3(%) of the Particle Data Group2 (PDG) prediction presented by Eidelman et. al. [3] The construct herein utilises Electro-Gravi-Magnetics3 (EGM) principles [2] to facilitate the precise derivation of the mass-energies of a Photon and Graviton [mγγ = 3.2 x 10-45 (eV) and mgg = 6.4 x 10-45 (eV) respectively]. Moreover, recognising the wave-particle duality of the Photon, the root-mean-square (RMS) charge radii of a free Photon and Graviton [rγγ = 2.3 x 10-35 (m) and rgg = 3.1 x 10-35 (m) respectively] is derived to high computational precision. In addition, the RMS charge diameters of a Photon and Graviton (“φγγ” and “φgg” respectively) are derived and shown to be in agreement with generalised Quantum Gravity (QG) models, implicitly supporting the limiting definition of the Planck4 length “λh”. [4] The value of “φγγ” is illustrated to be “≈λh”, whilst the value of “φgg” is demonstrated to be “≈1.5λh”. 2
THEORETICAL MODELLIG5

It was illustrated in [1] that only the odd modes of a finite reciprocal harmonic distribution contribute to the magnitude of gravitational acceleration “g” according to the distribution “nPV = nΩ, 2 - nΩ ... nΩ”, symmetrical about the 0th mode. Where, “nPV” represents the modes of space-time 2

manifold in the PV model of gravitation and the terminating mode in the finite reciprocal harmonic distribution is denoted by “nΩ”. The PV spectrum is conjectured to be composed of mathematical wavefunctions, over the symmetrical frequency domain -ωΩ<ωPV<ωΩ, which physically manifest as conjugate Photon pair populations. Subsequently, we shall define the odd frequency modes to be representative of conjugate Photon pair populations constituting a population of Gravitons. Therefore, 1 Graviton shall be defined as 1 conjugate Photon pair according to the following relationship, mgg = 2mγγ 3

MATHEMATICAL MODELLIG
Recognising that the Photon energy “EΩ” [6] at the harmonic cut-off frequency “ωΩ” is proportional to the conjugate Photon pair population, we may determine the Photon population “Nγ” at the mass-energy threshold as follows, E Ω h .ω Ω r e , m e

PHYSICAL MODELLIG
In accordance with the preceding definition of Photon and Graviton mass-energy, we may apply Buckingham Π Theory in terms of dynamic, kinematic and geometric similarity between two mass-energy systems defined at “ωΩ”. Subsequently, it follows that any two dimensionally similar systems may be represented by, ω Ω r 1, M 1
