Abstract

This document lays the foundation for a new physical architecture that resolves the deepest mystery of contemporary science: the origin and significance of the Fine Structure Constant (1/137). What the reader will find in this article is the culmination of a century of research, achieved through a break with established dogmas and an unprecedented unification of thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

Author Biography

  • Alex A Pavon L, National University of Engineering

    Alex is a mechanical engineer, a graduate of the first class of mechanical engineers in Nicaragua from the National University of Engineering. With over 30 years of teaching experience, he is also the author of renowned technical works, such as "Theory of the Human Body: A Thermodynamic Approach," and the creator of the QFC method for evaluating hot thermal environments.
    Holding two master's degrees (Energy Efficiency and University Management), a diploma in Facility Management from the University of Münster (Germany), and an expert in energy efficiency, steam systems, and thermodynamics, Alex has led projects, provided consulting services, and delivered training for top-tier companies in the region.
