Is Mass Quantized?
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract
The cosmological constant combined with Planck's constant and the speed of light implies a quantum of mass of approximately 2 x 10^{-65}g. This follows either from a generic dimensional analysis, or from a specific analysis where the cosmological constant appears in 4D spacetime as the result of a dimensional reduction from higher dimensional relativity (such as 5D induced-matter and membrane theory). In the latter type of theory, all the particles in the universe can be in higher-dimensional contact.
