| c : | virtual speed of light in a vacuum. |
| ca : | absolute speed of light through the qm. |
| cag : | speed of light through qm where this
speed is <ca due to the influence of large amounts of mass/energy (e.g. stars). |
| cr : | relative speed of light (the speed of
a photon or light signal relative to a body or reference frame, which speed must
be >0 ca but <2 ca.) |
| kg : | virtual kilogram or the apparent
mass of a standard 1 kg mass at rest in the observer's inertial reference frame.
|
| kga : | absolute kilogram or the mass/energy
of a standard 1 kg mass at rest in the qm. |
| ls : | virtual light-second or the distance
between two points in an inertial reference frame where the round-trip travel time for a light
signal between the two points is two seconds according to clocks in the reference frame. |
| LS : | absolute Light-Second or the distance
that a photon or light signal travels through the qm in one absolute second (sa) when not
impeded by matter or slowed in the vicinities of large masses. |
| qm : | quantum medium or the medium through
which photons and other massless wave/particle quanta of energy are propagated. Possibly the
same as the "quantum vacuum" of quantum mechanics theory. |
| m : | virtual meter or the length of a
standard meter rod. 1 m≈(1/300,000,000) ls. (Note: 1 m is not a fixed
length. The length of a standard meter rod depends upon its orientation in its inertial
reference frame.) |
| ma : | absolute meter or the length of a
standard meter rod at rest in the qm or its length when oriented perpendicular to its
direction of motion through the qm. 1 ma≈(1/300,000,000) LS. |
| N : | asymmetry ratio or the ratio of
the imbalance in the quantity and the energies of the photons and other energy-carrying quanta
moving within a body in the direction of the body's absolute motion compared with the quantity
and the energies of the quanta moving in the opposite direction. |
| rv : | physical change ratio of a system due
to its velocity through the qm. (Also, the ratio of the rate of round-trip energy exchange
in the system relative to the rate when the system is at rest in the qm.) |
| rg : | physical change ratio of a system due to
its location near a concentration of mass/energy. (Also, the ratio of the rate of
round-trip energy exchange in the system relative to the rate in the absence of the
concentration of mass/energy.) |
| s : | virtual seconds or seconds shown on a
clock (e.g. atomic clock). (For a clock at rest in the qm, 1 s = 1 sa.) |
| sa : | absolute seconds or seconds according
to a clock (e.g. atomic clock) at rest in the qm. |
| v : | virtual velocity or an observed
velocity in a reference frame when using the virtual units of distance (ls or m) and
time (s) in the reference frame. Note: The symbol vCB means the observed virtual velocity of a
body or inertial reference frame C relative to a body or inertial reference frame B. |
| va : | absolute velocity of a body or
inertial reference frame through the qm, which velocity can be expressed in terms of ca
(e.g. va = .5 ca means half the velocity of light through the qm).
Note: Absolute velocity units (e.g. ca) are also used to specify absolute relative
velocities. The symbol vCBa means the absolute velocity of a body or inertial reference frame
C relative to a body or inertial reference frame B. Absolute relative velocities are
determined using absolute units of distance (LS or ma) and time (sa). |
