How do irrational numbers play a role in physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around theories connecting physical constants and powers in physics to the initial fractions of irrational numbers. The original poster expresses curiosity about the relevance of these theories to current scientific understanding. Participants question the clarity of the theories presented and inquire about their implications for physicists' views on irrational numbers. The poster attempts to illustrate their point by referencing specific values related to powers and constants, such as e and the golden ratio, but acknowledges a lack of proof or depth in their ideas. Ultimately, the conversation highlights a tension between personal speculation and established scientific discourse, with a reminder that speculation is not permitted in the forum.

Hi,
I have some theories about physical facts derived from the size of powers in physics, compared to the first fraction of an irrational number.

I do not know if this is redundant with present day science, but I am curious about it.

Regards,
Justin

Could you possibly be just a little more vague? I almost have some tiny idea of what you might be talking about, but not really.

I've always wondered what physicists, who are nothing if not rational, think about irrational numbers. Do your theories shed some light on this?
 
Hi,

It is rational but not proven by me, nor do I know if it is profound.i.e.:
1.7 ^-27

2.7.. is e.
.

1.6 ^-19

1.6.. is natural constant (golden ration)
Both these numbers with both high power come from physics.
So why should they not correspond to the irrational number?I do not know the anwer to this, and so not what physicists might do with such numbers.
 
Sorry, bhpv, we don't allow speculation or personal theories here.
