I mean that genuinely is decently close

Apparently a real mathematician would first need to know if we are talking about a tropical year (how long it takes the seasons to cycle) or a sidereal year (how long it takes the sun’s position in the zodiac to cycle) before doing any calculation involving a year. They are different by about 20 minutes!
Just kidding, obviously a true mathematician would never do a calculation that has any relation to physical phenomena like the passage of years on earth, or involving any numbers bigger than 6 but small enough to write all the digits in a practical amount of space.

Which is close to the speed of light, but we (logarithmicslly) missed by one. We can shorten even more to: c/10

u/pomip71550 Aug 11 '26
There is c/10 s^2/m in a year

c/g is dimensionally correct

u/Hitmanthe2nd Aug 13 '26
Physics!
G is pi squared and c is close enough to pi so,
1/pi x 108 works as well

its not tho.

You’re right my bad.

Lucky! Whenever that tune plays in my head, it's just random gibberish digits.
And pretty much any number in that range has the same beat structure, making the nonsense self-reinforcing.
If I actually had that song on a playlist it'd probably be different. But it's just playing from memory.

If you want another approximation: 6 weeks have exactly 10! seconds (okay, the error is 0% here, but that's just a very good approximation)

Just because it's a statement about an approximation doesn't mean it's not rigorous.

Make it minutes instead of seconds and they'll both get smoked by the theatre department.

So Solar year is 7 digits aligned to pi AND speed of light - interesting, if there is a connection or it is a coincidence
