A Planck Particle Model of the Proton and the Vacuum

We examine a model of the proton as a bubble of hypothetical Planck particles. Using the bubble assumption we derive a known relationship between proton mass and radius, and an expression for proton tangential velocity. We find the Fine Structure Constant is the Lorentz adjustment for relativistic effects due to this tangential velocity. We examine our model in the context of previous results of magnetic moment, spin, and the nuclear force. Next we consider the Planck particle at rest, the vacuum energy, and the cosmological constant. We find the vacuum to be Planck particles at rest with no net forces between particles, contrasted with the proton as a bubble of Planck particles having momentum and force between Planck particles. We develop a model for proton gravitational potential at a distance, as the local gravitational potential of a Planck particle radial to the proton. Finally we view the Standard Model in context of the Planck particle model.
