In modern cosmology, the shape of the universe is flat. In between the closed space and flat space, there is one compromise. That is ‘Hubble volume’. Even though Hubble volume is virtual in the flat universe, by considering the product of critical mass density and the Hubble volume, one can estimate the Hubble mass. By coupling the Hubble mass with the Mach’s principle, one can understand the origin of cosmic, atomic and nuclear physical parameters. Thus the four fundamental interactions can be studied in a unified manner.
Keywords: Hubble Radius, Hubble Volume, Hubble Mass, Mach’s Principle, Planck Mass, Coulomb Mass, Fine Structure Ratio, the 4 Fundamental Interactions, SUSY and CMBR Temperature

mass of the cosmic Hubble volume is
For the time being let us call this mass as “Hubble mass”. With this definition, apart from cosmology, Mach’s principle can be given a fundamental unified significance in atomic, nuclear and particle physics! Here, as a point of curiosity, if one is willing to consider this mass as a characteristic mass of the universe, very easily, planck scale, cosmology and particle physics can be studied in a unified manner. It depends only on our choice of scientific interest. If

as a scaling factor in unification program, one can probe the constructional secrets of elementary particles. The Planck’s quantum theory of light, thermodynamics of stars, black holes and cosmology totally depends upon the famous Boltzmann constant
which in turn depends on the Avogadro number[19]. From this it can be suggested that, Avogadro number is more fundamental and characteristic than the Boltzmann constant and indirectly plays a crucial role in the formulation of the quantum theory of radiation. In this connection it is noticed that, ‘molar electron mass’ plays a very interesting role in nuclear and particle physics. Even if Avogadro number is a man-made number, authors humble opinion is - first let us find the various applications of the Avogadro number in unification. At any one nice relation, its meaning can be understood. The ratio of Planck mass and electron rest mass is close to Avogadro number/
This is a very interesting and surprising result.

Whether to consider them or discard them depends on the physical interpretations, logics, experiments, observations and our choice of scientific interest. In most of the critical cases, ‘time’ only will decide the issue. The mystery can be resolved only with further research, analysis, discussions and encouragement.Concept-3: For any observable charged particle, there exists 2 kinds of masses and their mass ratio is
Let this number be represented by
First kind of mass seems to be the ‘gravitational or observed’ mass and the second kind of mass seems to be the ‘electromagnetic’ mass. This idea can be applied to proton and electron. This number is obtained in the following way.

is the elementary charge. How to interpret this mass unit? Is it a primordial massive charged particle? If 2 such oppositely charged particles annihilates, a large amount of energy can be released. Considering so many such pairs annihilation hot big bang or inflation can be understood. This may be the root cause of cosmic energy reservoir. Such pairs may be the chief constituents of black holes. In certain time interval with a well defined quantum rules they annihilate and release a large amount of energy in the form of
photons. In the Hubble volume, with its pair annihilation, origin of the CMBR can be understood. Clearly speaking, gravitational and electromagnetic force ratio of

in the atomic and nuclear physics, there exists one variable. In the physics history, it was suggested that, gravitational constant and the speed of light were cosmic variables. In our published paper[41] and accepted paper[42] it was assumed that, the reduced Planck’s constant, the Bohr radius, the fine structure ratio were cosmic variables. In our another accepted paper[43] it was assumed that, proton mass and the proton radius were cosmic variables. Any how this is a very sensitive case and has to be discussed in depth. But it is clear that, on the cosmological time scale, there exists one variable physical quantity in the presently believed atomic and nuclear physical constants. ‘Rate of change’ in its magnitude may be a measure of the present cosmic acceleration. Thus independent of the cosmic red shift and CMBR observations, from the atomic and nuclear physics, cosmic acceleration can be verified.

is the Schwarzschild radius of the Hubble mass! It means, from unification point of view[10,11], if the above relation (88) receives any significance, then it can be suggested that, in the flat universe, for any observer - cosmic observations and events seems to be confined to the Hubble volume[44]. Some scientists may say: this is a play with numbers. Some scientists may say: it seems to be a fun. Some scientists may say: it is very interesting. Some scientists say: nobody understands Mach’s principle this way. Here, the fundamental question to be answered is - if the atom (and therefore all material rulers) expands, in what relation should the cosmic expansion then be measured? Answer is very simple. If the universe is really accelerating, based on the galactic red shift, for the observer - the receding and accelerating galaxy must show a continuous increase in its red shift[44]. There is no such evidence. If we do not yet know whether the universe is spatially closed or open, then the idea of Hubble mass can be used as a tool in cosmology and unification. Considering the particle and event horizon concepts, where ever we go in the flat universe, for the observer, Hubble volume is the only observable/workable volume. Hence where ever we go in the universe, Hubble mass plays the role. It is very close to the Mach’s idea of distance cosmic back ground. It seems to be a quantitative description to the Mach’s principle. Anyhow whatever may be their physical meaning, it is sure that these relations will help in understanding the characteristic properties of strong interaction, unification, cosmic acceleration and Mach’s principle.

In Indian vedic cosmology, total age of the universe is 311 trillion years[43,45]. This is a striking and surprising coincidence. It can be suggested that, modern cosmology and Indian vedic cosmology can be studied in a unified manner.
