Abstract

At fundamental level, understanding the constructional features of materialistic atoms in a unified approach is very complicated and success of any model depends on its ability to cover a broad range of physics in a simplified approach and it is the secret of final unification. In this context, by extending Abdus Salam’s idea of ‘nuclear strong gravitational coupling’ and by considering two very large pseudo gravitational constants assumed to be associated with electron and proton, in a unified approach, we try to understand the proton rest mass, proton-electron mass ratio, root mean square radius of proton, nuclear charge radii, atomic radii, proton-neutron stability, nuclear binding energy and melting points of elementary particles. Very interesting point to be noted is that, at utmost fundamental level, strong coupling constant and Fermi’s weak coupling constant both can be interrelated with the Newtonian gravitational constant. Not only that, the famous Avogadro number and molar mass constant both can be understood/estimated with ‘independent’ of system of units. Proceeding further, from astrophysics point of view, neutron star mass and radius can be understood in a unified and simplified approach. Finally, by eliminating the proposed two pseudo gravitational constants and with reference to root mean square radius of proton, Newtonian gravitational constant can be fitted very accurately.
