Why is the Fine Structure Constant always represented as 1/137 even though that’s not accurate, and there are infinitely many better fractions to represent the irrational constant? Despite this, physicists always use 1/137 or a variation of 1/137 (such as 1/137.035999177) but they NEVER use a more accurate fraction like 4889/669969. I don’t think there are any other examples of physical constants being represented as a fraction with a decimal in the denominator. Anyone who passed 5th grade math knows that a fraction with decimal places can just as easily be represented as a fraction WITHOUT any decimals.

Also, 137 just happens to be the 33rd prime number. 33 is the master spiritual number. AKA the most important number in Freemasonry, the age that Jesus died, etc.

How do we get rid of the disproportionate Freemason influence in the hard sciences?

Most of those stuffy old math and physics academics were in Freemasonry.

What do freemasons have to do with spirituality other than being a cult?..

By the 1940s experimental values for 1/α
deviated sufficiently from 137 to refute Eddington's arguments.

Attempts to find a mathematical basis for this dimensionless constant have continued up to the present time. However, no numerological explanation has ever been accepted by the physics community.

You could just look up the numerology behind the Fine-structure constant...

I dont understand stand what influence you are pointing out would cause any problems with our understanding, unlike say rené descartes who's ideas serve as a corner stone to western thinking are fundermentally flawed yet believe by many to be totally correct.

Your probably just a freemason shill trying to pretend your still relavent

They were builders and stuff at first so shared a lot of advanced mathematics and building knowledge. Then it evolved and became something different. But they still keep a lot of the early knowledge secret.

noooooo descartes not the PAIUSE!

1/137 is just a meme, you are correct that it's retarded, but only pop sci low iq push it, it's really just 0.007 who cares
>>
At high particle energies, \(\alpha \) strengthens to approx. 1/128, and it's not a prime; it might be the maximum age?

freemasonry is 100% a larp and social club for old faggots.
back in the ancient olden days when alchemy was a thing and magical thinking was rampant their gay civil engineering club had all sorts of spiritual trappings. Now its completely anachronistic, a joke, a ruse like a snipe hunt.
