Strong Nuclear Force = Newtonian Gravitation?

[DerMißingno]

A paper written by physicist Nassim Haramein hypothesizes that the mysterious "strong nuclear force" that holds atomic nuclei together can actually be explained by simple Newtonian gravitation. He says that each proton acts somewhat like a black hole... Fucking eh, I can't explain it. You'd better just watch the video:

Quantum Gravity Unification of Strong Nuclear Force

Here is the paper to which the video refers, which I have not yet read.

What really gets me about this is that he used such simple physics in order to figure this out. This could have been a fucking problem on one of my physics tests.

What do people here who are more physics-savvy then I am have to say about this? I'm pretty blown away by it.

One thing that jumped out at me is how he noted that l[sub]p[/sub] is related to the golden ratio. The problem there is that that relationship only exists when l[sub]p[/sub] is measured in meters, which is a completely arbitrary, human-chosen unit of length. If you're going to point out interesting constants, make sure you're only using Planck units.

 

[DerMißingno]

The golden ratio is a ratio, and therefore unit-less. It doesn't matter what units you use.

 

[Jeff]

But the planck length is a length, and therefore, its value depends on the unit system.

phi = 1.618 (no units, so it's the same in every unit system)
but
l[sub]p[/sub] = 1.616*10^-35 m = 4.104*10^-33 in = 3.421*10^-34 ft

So the similarity between phi and l[sub]p[/sub] only exists in meters (or any units related to them by a power of 10).

I watched the video again, and yeah you're right. I don't see it as discrediting the hypothesis in any way though, seeing as Planck Length in meters being similar to phi wasn't really the basis of anything he used to derive this. I suspect it was just something that the person who made the video added so people would watch more of his videos. I really have to get around to reading the paper though to be sure.
