Can’t figure out how to get “pi” to show up instead of the smart symbol trash.

If Planck’s constant were off by the distance between these words, life as we know it would be impossible.

and that’s just one of innumerable factors that had to fit precisely and narrowly.

The odds of that happening are nonzero but so minuscule they may as well be zero.

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

I’m fascinated by the # 1.67 showing up as a ratio in nature! The number of peddles on a flower, the ratio of eye separation to the width of the mouth. The probability that a length = 2 the separation between lines and how often the length will fall on the line.
The spiral of a snail shell!
Probably coincidence yet makes you think a higher power could be behind it!
Also, does mean anything significant ?

This curious number is therefore a universal constant of nature - "God given" Jeans might have said.

Or "gosh numbers" as Fred Pohl would have said.

I’ve seen Pi in bases other than 10, example, 7 and 12. So, what would happen...?

I was never great at math, so I’ll stick with 42.

But thanks anyway - fascinating stuff.
