A crank formula for π

Read Original

This article examines a cranky formula for π based on physical constants like Planck's constant and the speed of light. The author simplifies the expression using Planck's blackbody law, revealing it is independent of wavelength. They then question the meaning of 'total energy of the universe' in the equation, noting the formula is not dimensionless and lacks justification. The piece explores the absurdity of the claim and references related cranky math concepts.
