On Dimensional Analysis, Redundancy in set of fundamental quantities and Proposal of a New Set

Abstract

Inclusion of redundant fundamental quantities in SI system has resulted in lot of ambiguities and confusion in modern theories. The incompatibilities between the existing theories can possibly be due to incorrect assumption of fundamental quantities and existence of newer fundamental quantities. This paper is an attempt to eliminate the redundancy in the SI system using random mathematical mappings done through a computer program on SI system to New System. Each mathematical mapping is studied manually. Out of 1000 random mathematical mappings generated using a Computer Program, a mapping with three fundamental quantities is found to describe a non-redundant and intuitive set of Fundamental quantities. This paper also proposes the possible existence of a new fundamental quantity. A significant attempt is made to understand the advantages of new system over SI system. The relations between the set {Mass, length, time, current, and temperature} and new set of three fundamental quantities are calculated. The paper also describes the intuitive reasons favoring the new fundamental set of quantities.
