'''Andrew Worsley''' is a researcher and author known for an alternative theoretical framework he calls "harmonic quintessence," through which he claims to derive the fundamental constants of physics and to modify Newtonian gravity. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />
<br />
==Work==<br />
Worsley has published a series of papers in ''Physics Essays'' and ''Applied Physics Research'' developing what he terms harmonic quintessence, a single a priori energy-equivalence relation built from Planck's constant that he presents as the fundamental quantum harmonic oscillator. From this starting point he attempts to derive the charge and mass of the electron and, in turn, the masses of the proton, neutron and quarks from first principles, as well as thermodynamic and electromagnetic constants such as the vacuum permittivity and permeability.<br />
<br />
In "An advanced dynamic adaptation of Newtonian equations of gravity" (''Physics Essays'' 21(3), 2008), he proposes a modified gravitational relation that he argues can account for the "missing mass" attributed to dark matter without additional unseen matter. Later work extends harmonic quintessence to dark energy and to a derivation of Hubble's constant. He has also gathered these ideas in a self-styled book series, ''Everything is Physics''.<br />
<br />
Worsley's derivations depart substantially from the standard model and standard cosmology; they appear in journals outside the physics mainstream and have not been adopted by the wider physics community.<br />
