It doesn't make sense to subtract a dimensionful number g from a dimensionless number π. That's why someone can ask "why not 32 ft/s^2?"

The speed of gravity may be faster than the speed of light.

“It doesn’t make sense to subtract a dimensionful number g from a dimensionless number π. That’s why someone can ask “why not 32 ft/s^2?””

Is the 32ft per second per second a constant - or is it in a vacuum at sea level at Earth gravity?

Once I get my "Pie", I don't want anyone to take anything away from it.
