The High Spy MEGATHREAD

[High Spy]

If High Spy wants to figure out special numbers, he could maybe try this one: 137. What is arguably the most important natural constant, the fine structure constant, is a pure number, without any units. It's very close to (but not quite exactly) 1/137. No-one knows why it has the value it has.

Most natural constants are really just unit conventions based on human preferences. We could perfectly well adopt the light-nanosecond as our unit of distance—it's about a foot—and then the speed of light would just be the number one billion, without any units, because "seconds per second" doesn't need saying. It's really only ratios of similar things that are objective facts. The fine structure constant is such a ratio. Among other things it relates the size of the smallest atom to the mass of an electron.

Add the first digit (1) to the other digits collectively (37+1) =~ 38

Add the first digit (1) to the other digits individually (3+1) (7+1) =~ 48

PI too is a pure number.

Men have 10 digits between 2 hands.

360 approximates the number Earth of days/year.

What pure number derives from having 10 digits and a circle with 360 degrees?

Truncate it at 6 significant digits.

How does it begin?

How does it end?

Have you tried adding arbitrary numbers like that to all your eights and fifty-sevens, to make them come out to be different numbers instead?

I mean, it sure seems as though you can generate any number you want, and associate any number you want with anything that you want. You get to add or subtract or multiply or divide by any number that can in any way be counted as significant. And apparently you get to do those operations to each digit separately, or to some groups of digits, or to the whole number.

Then when you associate the numbers with letters, you seem to be allowed to use "old world" spellings whenever you need to mess with the spelling.

Doesn't it seem as though you could start with any number whatever, and make it mean anything whatever, by your methods?

What would you say to somebody who insisted that 57 was all wrong, and it should be 83, because you need to add twice the number of months in the year plus one?

Nuclear fission, right?

No, nuclear fusion.

Okay Mr. Nuclear Physicist, jeez.

Please do supply similar stuff, such that interested individuals may compare and contrast.

1/137 = 0.007299270072992700729…

probably not the perfect way to represent a repeating decimal.

But spy finds the mirrored 29 interesting, as 29 fills in the gap between the beginning and the end of the six digits of the transcendental number mentioned above.

Also cool, is that Alpha begins with 007 like Bond, James Bond.

BND is short for BeNotDeceived or B0ND minus zero.

The Hebrew Alphabet has 22 amazing characters.

There is no english translation of Berisheet, that does it justice.

Crist doth serve as a unique alphanumeric to find related posts.

How awesome is that.

Did you know the aleph א is a point in spacetime that contains all other points in spacetime without distortion?

I know very little about Hebrew. But Aleph is a letter that is always silent, kinda like user IDs aren’t shown with posted text, but are interesting nonetheless, especially in this thread.

On a hunch, I checked memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=55

137 amazingly encoded 38 and 48 too.

Then post number 55448 from long ago, contains an interesting combination too.

Add in that he also allows "approximate" numbers.

Yes, by these methods he can conclude anything he wants, and "make it mean anything whatever..."

In other words, meaningless.

Don’t bother with exact decimal representations of 1/137. As I said, the fine structure constant isn’t exactly that. The best current measurements put it at 0.0072973525693, plus a couple more digits that are a bit iffy.

No, nuclear fusion.

Okay Mr. Nuclear Physicist, jeez.

It's not a nitpick over spelling. Fusion is compressing two atoms into one (à-la what happens in the sun). Fission is splitting one atom into two (à-la the Hiroshima bomb).

Two entirely different methods of nuclear reaction.

[Imwashingmypirate]

High spy. What are your favourite numbers?

I wasn't talking about nuclear fusion or fission. Just throwing thoughts out there.

Is space time warped? The whole solar system is travelling through space. Does that mean the warped spaces is moving too? If everything is moving apart and expanding, is the warped space stretching too?
