🧵 Random Epiphany
Anonymous at Sun, 17 Nov 2024 17:05:15 UTC No. 16479121
I was thinking about the universal constants today and it struck me that the numbers are so ugly. It made me think that maybe the base 10 numerical system we use is not accurate to the way the universe works mathematically. Is there another number system which produces more elegant values of the universal constants? Hexidecimal? Octal? Idk.
Just a thought. If this turns out to be a big discovery, remember me.

Or maybe that meter long stick in France isn't fundamental. Have you tried reworking everything substituting the corect planck lengths for meters? I know it's something like 1.616x10^35 but you probably need all 35 significant digits to make it work. You should try that and report back.

All bases are base 10. Always has been.
Good luck on your project. Keep us updated.

I think the big discovery for OP will be that all universal constants are 1 in the base of that universal constant.

>not accurate to the way the universe works mathematically
The universe doesn't work mathematically. Math was created to explain the universe, not the other way around.

Try base pi or base e.

Fool. They are ugly because 1 meter does not refer to 1 Plank Length; 1 second, 1 Plank time; and so on
The Kelvin is okay. But the other units are the equivalent of using C° or F° and freaking out that you reach 0 or infinity

Oh boy, just wait til you find out about natural unit systems...
In them every constant is just 1, depending what constants, and what system you use.

How can a constant be 1 if it runs?

Ugliness is a meaningless concept to the unthinking universe.

Not possible, if you set 1 equal to pi or e, you can't possibly count to 10 in pi or e steps, try to count to 10 in base pi or e yourself and see, the number of steps has to be a rational integer, so a functional numerical base does too.

what are the prime factors of the relative standard uncertainties =0 ?
I'd use the product of those

Yes I specifically mentioned them and pointed out you can't count from 1 to 10 in an irrational or fractional number of steps, if you think you can, feel free to try to count from 1 to 10 in a fractional or irrational number of intermediate steps.
>>16482230
They can't even count with that numerical base and that source doesn't claim they can.

Not all bases are equal and perhaps there is some base that could make these constants look "better".
Base 8 would have been useful for precision of measurement before machining:

Some formulas require certain bases to work such as these that only work in base 16:

OP is trying have a number system with expanded utility, not come up with some retarded fake number system that doesn't even have enough usefulness to be used to perform a simple count that even 2 years olds with a few fingers can do with the decimal system.

Do what any actual physicist does and set them to 1.

The universe doesn't do us any favors because the Planck units are disgusting looking no matter how you formulate them. Think about expressing any observable speed in "Planck length per Planck time" and the numbers would still look bad.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
Those who understand binary and those that don't.
