Abstract

We review our model of a proton that obeys the Schwarzschild condition. We find that only a very small percentage (~10^-39%) of the vacuum fluctuations available within a proton volume need be cohered and converted to mass-energy in order for the proton to meet the Schwarzschild condition. This proportion is similar to that between gravitation and the strong force where gravitation is thought to be ~10^-40 weaker than the strong force. Gravitational attraction between two contiguous Schwarzschild protons can easily accommodate both nucleon and quark confinement. In this picture, we can treat ?strong? gravity as the strong force. We calculate that two contiguous Schwarzschild protons would rotate at c and have a period of 10^-23s and a frequency of 10²² Hz which is characteristic of the strong force interaction time and a close approximation of the gamma emission typically associated with nuclear decay. We include a scaling law and find that the Schwarzschild proton falls near the least squares trend line for organized matter. Using a semi-classical model, we find that a proton charge orbiting at a proton radius at c generates a good approximation to the measured anomalous magnetic moment.
