From α = 1 to Complete Physics: How the SI Reform of 2019 and a Ratio-Based Unit System Naturally Lead to Time-Mass Duality and the Adapted Dynamic Vacuum Field Theory

What if all of physics follows from a single number?The fine-structure constant α ≈ 1/137.036 is nature's most precisely measured value — and the only input the T0 theory requires. Everything else can be derived: the masses of all elementary particles, the gravitational constant, the Planck length, the structure of spacetime.This book tells the story of a radical simplification. Starting from the 2019 SI reform, which fixed four natural constants to exact values, the author develops step by step a framework in which α, too, is set to 1. From this thought experiment emerges a single geometric parameter ξ = 4/30,000, which opens a seamless chain of derivations:• From α via ξ to particle masses• From time-mass duality T·m = 1 to the vacuum field Φ = ρ·e^(iθ)• From the torus as fundamental geometry to the fractal correction K = 0.9867• From testable predictions to the question of consciousnessThe T0 theory (Time-Zero) does not replace existing physics — it rewrites the same physics in a language that lies deeper than units and conventions. The result is a picture in which gravitation is not a force but a density difference in the vacuum field, in which mass and time are reciprocals, and in which spacetime is not perfectly three-dimensional but possesses a fractal dimension D ≈ 2.9999.For physicists, mathematicians, and anyone willing to look behind the numbers.Includes over 140 freely accessible research articles on GitHub. All derivations are fully documented and verifiable.### Back Cover Text (approx. 150 words)One number. One parameter. All of physics.The fine-structure constant α ≈ 1/137 is the only measurement the T0 theory needs. Everything else — particle masses, gravitation, Planck length, cosmological structure — follows from pure geometry.Johann Pascher shows how the 2019 SI reform opens the way: when all natural constants are fixed exactly, only one free parameter remains. From it unfolds a chain of derivations reaching from the quantum scale to cosmology.The result is surprising: mass is not the opposite of lightness — mass is the opposite of time. Spacetime is almost three-dimensional, but "almost" makes the difference. And the weakness of gravitation is not weakness but geometric dilution.A book for anyone who wants to know what happens when you free physics from its units. Read more
