In your opinion, what is the strangest thing about the universe?
Great question! There is so much strangeness!
An Answer:
The four irrational numbers (which, by the way, are totally rational, meaning understandable) within the right context.
First, we must be willing to embrace the finite-infinite relation because along with pi(π), the other three irrationals also go on endlessly (infinitely) without repeating patterns.
BTW, we should be aware that there are three qualities inherent or intrinsic qualities of pi(π) continuity-symmetry-harmony (see: 81018.com/csh/ for a backgrounder). Then there are also qualities of the other three (e, Euler’s number; √2, the square root of 2; and φ, the golden ratio) add additional qualities. The four are quite vastly important but little known by the general public. We’ve started to ask AI to explain — 81018.com/irrationals/ — and the results are fascinating.
We have even guessed why there is so little analysis of them. We believe each is nested within a primordial octahedron down close to the Planck scale with its emergent logic, mathematics, and physics. Look at this image and perhaps you’ll agree: 81018.com/octahedron/
It is based on a very different model of the universe. Big bang cosmology blocks the view of the infinitesimal so scholars assumed it’s not there. It also blocks the view of base-2 notation which is a result of those irrationals getting together with Planck time! So, I guess the second strangest thing is that we are so sure of ourselves and not open to discussions of possibilities; it speaks wonders about the human personality!
