Which mathematical/physics constant do you like best?

[Vertimus]

Choose yours from here.

 

[notfred]

Avogadro's number, even though it's more chemistry than physics or math.

 

[AFB]

<--old school

Pie*



*Yes I know it is spelled incorrectly.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

pi

Because I don't have to remember what it actually is, because there's a button for it

 

[AgentEL]

Golden Ratio

 

[bootymac]

Pi

 

[Heisenberg]

h-bar. I see that so much it's not even right.

 

[Legendary]

Planck's

 

[fs5]

Pi, because it rhymes with Die which is what you should do.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Pi, Euler's, a couple of favs, but there's so many, hard to choose

 

[MazerRackham]

6.022 x 10^23, because I'm a chemist!

 

[JetBlack69]

e

 

[Martin]

e

 

[z0mb13]

phi?

 

[silverpig]

hbar prolly I guess.

It's kinda funny though cause in particle physics you use hbar, c, and 2*pi a lot. Keeping track of them all is kind of lame, so my prof started a lecture by writing the following up on the board:

Let hbar = c = 2*pi = 1



Actually though, you CAN make the change to hbar = c = 1. As a consequence, you measure time in centimeters, mass and energy in inverse centimeters, the unit of time is the time it takes light to travel 1 cm and the unit of energy is the energy of a photon with wavelength 2*pi cm.

 

[cronos]

c

 

[DigDug]

That site is amazing. I'm always so impressed by mathematics. That guy Ramanujan is incredible.

 

[Beller0ph1]

c. Nothing can go faster than light. It is the ultimate limit.

 

[Goosemaster]

pi


it's the only limit that you can discover without a calculator

It's too tough to pick a favorite.

 

[johnjbruin]

3*10^8 ?
