This video responds to a frequently asked question, "How did binary mechanics derive physical constants?" A true derivation of a "fundamental constant" value is based on first principles alone, without any use of other fundamental constants, which are really unexplained measurements.

A wide-spread doctrine in the physics community segregates important unexplained observations into a special category, the so-called universal or fundamental constants, and acts to deflect attention away from endeavors we call science and physics.

With the addition of energy-space-time quantization to quantum theory, the spatial model of the electron and the discovery of the electron bit cycle predicts a zero electron electric dipole moment (EDM) which has been experimentally confirmed by labs at Harvard and in London.

The spatial model of the proton and the discovery of the proton (hadron) bit cycle are used to calculate a non-zero proton electric dipole moment (EDM) which may very bad news for the credibility of legacy quantum theory based on continuous space-time theory.

The binary mechanics model of space, based on energy and length quantization, and the time-development bit operations applied in quantized time intervals were "first principles" used in the first-ever derivation of elementary charge from the scalar (electrostatic) bit operation.

In physics literature, the "Bohr magneton" has been expressed in terms of elementary charge e, reduced Planck constant and electron rest mass, all measured constants. Thus, this expression merely shows relationships among measured constants, not a derivation from first principles, as shown in the present video.

This part 1 describes consequences of adding energy-space-time quantization as background for Part 2 where light speed and Planck's constant are derived.

In Part 2, light speed and Planck's constant are derived.
