In this theory, mass and energy are redefined. We have not so far demonstrated how to make it compatible with electric properties such as charge and the Coulomb force. The aim of this paper is to show how electric properties can be reformulated to make it consistent with collision space-time. It is shown that we need to incorporate the Planck scale into the electric constants to do so. This is also fully possible from a practical point of view, as it has recently been shown how to measure the Planck length independent of other constants and without the need for dimensional analysis.展开更多

There is an embedded 10<sup>-7</sup> in the Coulomb constant that we will claim is “only” needed to cancel out an embedded 10<sup>7</sup> in the charge squared. We suggest three alternatives to redefine the charge and the Coulomb constant that give considerable simplification. The Coulomb constant is not needed as a separate constant as, in the new suggested framework, it can be replaced with simply the speed of light without affecting predicted output values. We also point out potential issues with the 2019 redefinition of the Coulomb constant and elementary charge. This is not meant conclusive but to open up for further discussion on how one potential can simplify parts of physics.展开更多
