The simplest quantum structure corresponds to the smallest action.<br>
<br>
An AQI therefore has the action of Planck's constant: h.<br>
<br>
Action is defined as energy multiplied by time: E•t<br>
<br>
An AQIs is defined absolutely, that is,<br>
in relation to the entire cosmos and in no way to any object in the cosmos.<br>
It is maximally abstract, that is,<br>
without any possible specific meaning in relation to anything.<br>
<br>
At present, there is an intensive discussion regarding the empirical value of the Hubble constant.<br>
The values for H<sub>0</sub> currently lie between H<sub>0</sub> = 75 (km/s)/Mpc and H<sub>0</sub> = 67.4 (km/s)/Mpc.<br>
For the purpose of estimating only the orders of magnitude, a value of H<sub>0</sub> = 70 (km/s)/Mpc is chosen.<br>
<br>
With the value for the megaparsec of 3.08567758149137∙10^19 km and the Planck time of t<sub>Pl</sub> = 5.39∙10^(– 44) s,<br>
the Hubble time t<sub>Cosmos</sub> = 1/ H<sub>0</sub> is t<sub>Cosmos</sub> = 8.17831∙10^60 t<sub>Pl</sub>.<br>
(That is 8.17831∙10^60((5.39∙10^(–44))/(60∙60∙24∙365)) = 13.978∙10^9 years.)<br>
<br>
With the Planck constant h = 4.1356677∙10^(–15) eV s and the age of the universe,<br>
i.e. the Hubble time 44.08109∙10^16 s,<br>
the energy of an AQI at the present age of the universe is<br>
E<sub>AQI </sub>= 9.38195∙10^(–33) eV<br>
Thus, for 1 proton from E<sub>Proton</sub> = 9.38272∙10^8 eV, a value of about 10^41 AQIs results.<br>
<br>
In 1972, Carl Friedrich v. Weizsäcker had presented an estimate for a nucleon that corresponds to a value of about 10^40.4.<br>
