Could you provide a citation of this latter paper in a peer reviewed journal?Geoff Serpells said:This then leads to a "quais-unification" of Particle-Physics & Cosmology:

Geoff Serpells said:I "think" its in "Physics Essays". They seem to have a very good editorial board.
If you go to the back of the particle paper link I quoted, you should see it there.

Dimensional analysis is a mathematical method used to analyze and understand physical phenomena by examining the dimensions of the variables involved. It involves breaking down complex equations into simpler terms based on their fundamental dimensions (such as length, mass, time, etc.) and using this information to derive relationships between variables.
Buckingham Pi theory, also known as the Buckingham Pi theorem, is a mathematical theorem that states that if a physical problem involves 'n' variables and 'k' fundamental dimensions, then the problem can be reduced to a dimensionless equation with 'n-k' dimensionless parameters. This allows us to simplify complex equations and better understand the relationships between variables in a system.
Dimensional analysis is important in science because it allows us to understand and analyze complex physical phenomena in a more systematic and structured way. It also helps us to identify important variables and relationships in a system, and can be used to check the validity of mathematical equations. Additionally, dimensional analysis is useful in converting between different units and can aid in solving problems in various fields of science and engineering.
Dimensional analysis and Buckingham Pi theory have many applications in various scientific fields. They are commonly used in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, electrical circuits, and chemical reactions. They are also used in the design of experiments and in developing mathematical models for physical systems. Additionally, they are useful in predicting the behavior of physical systems and in designing experiments to test hypotheses.
While dimensional analysis and Buckingham Pi theory are powerful tools in understanding physical phenomena, they do have some limitations. They are most effective in systems where all variables can be expressed in terms of fundamental dimensions, and they may not be applicable in more complex systems with multiple or changing dimensions. Additionally, these methods may not account for all factors affecting a system, and they may not be able to predict the behavior of a system accurately in all cases.
