God Equation: Is It Real? What Does it Mean?

[Allojubrious]

Is there really such thing as the god equation, like is it a real equation or just made up??(Hl x π / Ω = C) If so, what does it represent??

 

[Khashishi]

made up

How do you know? I need some proof

What is a "god equation"?
Maybe there is some equation which looks similar to the one you posted. So what? Why should someone call this "god equation"?

=> made up
And keep in mind that names are just names.

A google search on "god equation" provides useful info. To sum things up: the God Equation comes from a numerology crackpot. This article explains it pretty well:

http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/12/the_god_equation.php

\frac{Hl \cdot \pi}{\Omega}=C

... the term Hl has units of MHz; the other parameters seem to be dimensionless; and C has units of km/sec. This does not compute.

...I plugged in all those numbers anyway, and did the calculation works out to a value for C of 361,448.9 MHz. This is a bit off.

Note: "C" is meant to be the speed of light in a vacuum.
