aG, btw, is what I am suggesting this value is, since it is basically
the same as the equation used to calculate the fine structure
constant,eg,

a = kC.e^2 / hbar.c

where,

kC = coulomb constant
e = charge of electron
hbar = Planck's constant / 2.pi
c = speed of light in vacuum

You must have been reading my mind. ;-)  This would be the
"gravitational coupling equation" if there is a mass quantum where m =
such mass quantum.  However, there may not be a mass quantum so that
presents difficulties.  If we plug in 1eV/c^2 (neutrino mass?) as the
mass quantum, we get ~ 6.71 x 10^-57 as the gravitational coupling
constant.  Very very weak.

Now let's paste in part of your other message.

"aG, btw, is what I am suggesting this value is, since it is basically

This is also the "basic" form for weak coupling and strong coupling
where kC would be replaced by an appropriate proportionality factor and
e by "weak charge" and strong charge.  Unfortunately, all the couplings
vary with "energy level" so the actual coupling equations are not this
simplistic.

If there is no mass quantum, then I suspect that somehow electric, weak
and strong work together to make a gravitational coupling constant in
conjunction with the geometry of their interactions.  If extra compact
dimensions are a reality, then it gets pretty complicated.
