If the big bang falters, might pi (π) thrive?
Please help us petition our major learned societies about it.*
by Bruce E. Camber (an early draft)
A simple petition to the learned societies of each country of our world: Look critically for alternative models to big bang cosmology (as currently and generally understood) and to consider the potential role of pi (π) within a new theory. We need new models of who we are and why. We need a basic model to instill values and ethics.
Pi (π) is the oldest, most-used, and least-understood tool to engage our minds and universe. It’s never-ending, never-repeating numbers are infinite and teach us about continuity. Its conversions of numbers to shape define a perfection, the sphere, and teach us about symmetry. Its conversion of spheres to tetrahedrons is the heart of dynamics and teach us about harmony. And, this also defines a finite-infinite relation.
Everything, everywhere throughout all time: We are now exploring how the three functions, continuity-symmetry-harmony, taken together could be a perfected state in space-time.
The big bang cosmology of Stephen Hawking and Alan Guth is being reinterpreted as results come in from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Yet, it has had many earlier problems:
- An “infinitely-hot, infinitely-dense” big bang.1 The early images from the JWST confirm images from the Hubble spacecraft and earlier work from the Planck space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA). The Planck ESA mapped the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and opened our questions about smoothness and about gravity’s signatures.
- The big bang has no beginning.2 It cannot account for the earliest seconds. It ignores the fundamentals of physics, the natural units of Planck and the dimensionless constants that define them. In contrast, pi (π) naturally starts at PlanckTime with an infinitesimal sphere to begin space-time. To observe this process we applied base-2 to discern 202 notations up to this day and time. Continuity-symmetry-harmony within a finite-infinite relation helps us to grasp meaning-and-value that the big bang can not.
- The big bang is on a slippery slope.3 Its story is changing to accommodate the news. It is not giving our students and scholars a firm foundation to build the new sciences required for our future. It blocks the view of our infinitesimal universe.
This appeal is for our learned societies and the leading scientific organizations throughout our world to look critically for alternative models and concepts for the start of our universe as well as to consider the place of pi (π) more deeply and pointedly:
- Pi (π) renders unique perspectives regarding the nature of a finite-infinite relation. See: https://81018.com/continuity-symmetry-harmony/ and https://81018.com/csh/ Are these conclusions worth exploring further?
- Pi (π) is how numbers become circles and spheres. The lines are so small they appear to be points. Assuming one infinitesimal sphere per unit of Planck’s base units, a simple calculation based on Planck Time, renders 18.5 tredecillion spheres/second. Is it a cosmological constant? Do these infinitesimal spheres most-densely pack the universe? Are these points worth exploring further?
- 1899: Max Planck’s base units (natural units). Could these define the very first moment of space-time? By applying base-2, we emerged with a mathematical ordering system that can be easily followed. Planck Time, multiplied over and over again, results in well-over 13.82+ billion years within Notation 202. Applied to the PlanckLength, it approximates the size of the universe. Everything, everywhere, for all time is encapsulated. Are these points of this most-simple model worth exploring further?
Our world is beset with anxieties. Our old models are not working effectively. There is too much hostility in the world. It is obvious to every thinking person that we need alternative models.
Each country has learned societies and national academies.
This appeal for judgment is to each country’s learned societies and national academies4 with their leading scholars and scientists. This list is dynamically ordered by their contributions to scholarly publications and other criteria (very much under construction in June-July 2023):
1. China: Chinese Academy of Sciences: Xi Jinping, Wang Zhigang (Ministry of Science and Technology), Xiaopeng Ren… (Baidu dynamic translation into Chinese) (Google Translate) There is much more to come. It will all be inserted on our summary pages about China.
2. France: The French Academy of Sciences, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, other scholarly groups and the universities of France… Summary pages…
3. USA: The American Academy of Arts and Sciences, American Association for the Advancement of the Sciences, and National Academy of Sciences, universities and foundations like the Breakthrough Prize, Simons, FQXi… (many more to come)
4. Germany: The Max Planck Institutes and Helmholtz Associations, German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina [and others like Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW)] and her many universities…
5. United Kingdom: The UK’s Royal Society and her other learned societies and universities…
6. Japan: The Japan Academy and the universities of Japan
7. Korea: The Korean Academy of Science and Technology
8. Norway: Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters
9. Russia: Russian Academy of Sciences
10. Sweden: Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and Science
And the Academy of Science of Austria, Indonesian (AIPI), India, South Africa (ASSAf), and Australia; The Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brazilian Academy of Sciences); National Academy of Sciences of Argentina, the Czech, Hungarian, and Ethiopian Academy of Science; the Hassan-II Academy of Science and Technology (Morocco); and so many others throughout our world.

[*] Mathcounts: In February 1983 the MATHCOUNTS Foundation was established by the National Society of Professional Engineers, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and CNA Insurance. Today it involves every state in the nation and many more major corporations who organize a mathematics competition among middle school students (6-7-8 grades). That picture is priceless. These kids gathered in the shape of pi (π), with all their expressions (some rather impatient). Symbolically they are engaging the universe. The students are from Massachusetts, the birthplace of the USA where the first battles for independence were fought. Perhaps the seed of a future revolution that will capture our universe has been planted within some of their hearts and minds. One of their primary sponsors today is Raytheon, a Massachusetts company founded in 1922 by three MIT scientists and today it is the largest defense contractor in the USA. It was founded on innovation.
[†] Learned societies, national academies and universities. Our emerging list is just above. There are several lists but we have used those ordered by Nature magazine and SCImago Institutions Rankings. This listing is being compared and contrasted with these: Nature magazine, lists of learned societies, national academies and other intellectual centers…

[1] “Infinitely-hot” big bang. In 2016 Stephen Hawking confidently told the world that the universe began from an “…infinitely small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense point.” If the earliest universe was infinitely dense, would it have cooled and become smooth in 380,000 years? That’s the question. Even with inflation, the conclusion defies imagination and a certain commonsense logic. Perhaps his death on March 14, 2018 (Pi Day) is symbolic; although any interpretation is arguable, perhaps it is the universe attempting an error correction or giving an “anisotropic directional.” According to Wikipedia, anisotropy (/ˌænaɪˈsɒtrəpi, ˌænɪ-/) is “the property of a material which allows it to change or assume different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropy. It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material’s physical or mechanical properties (absorbance, refractive index, conductivity, tensile strength, etc.”
Alan Guth of MIT is a key formulator of inflation; understandably, he is entirely defensive about his life’s work, as are the thousands of scholar-scientists who have added to and defended the theory over the years. With the results of the JWST, going back to the ESA’s Planck space observatory, it may well be wise to begin to explore other possibilities.
George Efstathiou was a team leader for the ESA Planck space observatory explorations from 2009 to 2013, and he was one of the first to raise questions about our understanding of inflation. They were unable to discern within all the data a signature for gravitational waves triggered by inflation. It would be imprinted on the polarisation of the CMB. The results instead suggest there may be new physics to be discovered in the ESA Planck data (M. Peplow, Planck telescope peers into primordial Universe, Nature (2013). https://doi.org/10.1038/nature.2013.12658
[2] No beginning. Nobel laureate (2019) James Peebles from Princeton was a leader to document the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). He is also the most pointed critic that big bang cosmology can not account for the first seconds of the universe. In this model the first second is between Notations 143 and 144 and the 13.82 billion years is within Notation 202!
There are many initiatives to get beyond the two standard models: (1) particle physics and (2) cosmology.
[3] Slippery slope. The inflaton hypothetical particle is just that, hypothetical, and it needs to be re-examined. There are nine or more disciplines that have not had a place on the grid; it seems that these studies have captured the logic and data that define the first 64 notations of the 202, the foundations of the foundations, create the grid but those notations are beyond the reach of all measuring devices. Here are the key notations that will take us beyond the two Standard Models, keys among all our dissenting scholars.

11:51 AM · Jun 14, 2023 @CathBrechignac There are now enough questions about the efficacy of the big bang theory that the scholarly scientific community needs to challenge its brightest and most imaginative to advance new ideas and concepts to replace it: http://81018.com/petition/#France Do you agree? Thank you. -Bruce
@BarackObama Meaningful work is everything. Doing what you love is better. See the life of Alexander Smalls. Understanding value is penultimate. We are on the cusp.
Will you review and be open to sign this petition about it?
3:25 PM · Jun 4, 2023 @Yuryu Hi Emma – Should the world’s leading intellectual societies take another look at pi (π)? What does it mean that you have developed the longest continuity equation in history? https://change.org/KnowYourUniverse. Perhaps you can help us with The Japan Academy: https://81018.com/petition/#Japan BTW, you are on our website: https://81018.com/perfection/ and https://81018.com/iwao/
5:53 PM · Jun 3, 2023 @standupmaths And while you’re at it, how about pi (π)? You did that wonderful interview with Emma. Is that continuity equation the longest in the universe? Or is it infinite and out of this universe? If out, is continuity out, too? How about its symmetry? …its harmony? …in or out?
7:11 AM · May 31, 2023 @physorg_com Andrew Zinin’s interpretative touch (Managing editor, @physorg.com) on the images from the James Webb Space Telescope would be helpful. Are the big bang theorists just re-interpreting their product to accommodate the news? I think https://81018.com/most-simple/ is a theory that could be reviewed.
9:49 AM · May 28, 2023 @the_xijinping I recently finished writing and editing an open letter that I would like to bring to your attention. It is about Karl Marx’s understanding of mathematics. That page will soon become a homepage. The URL is https://81018.com/marx/ Would you like to suggest any edits?
5:11 PM · May 23, 2023 @brattray @reidhoffman The big bang is fizzling. That opens the door for new models. This world has more than enough scholars to evaluate. Would you please sign the petition to have the world’s leading intellectual organizations to evaluate it? https://www.change.org/KnowYourUniverse
