/sci/ - Best/Worst Constants

What do you think the most/least constants are?

Best:

e - derivative and integral are the same. major points for that, very cool.

h (planck's constant) - smallest constant, x10^-34. Just goes to show you that size really doesn't matter.

Worst:

R (universal gas constant) - Way too many different units, especially when you factor in SI and english.

smallest constant
depends on your units, nigger

1/0 - Coolest troll
0/0 - More drama
√-1 - See 0/0
0.000...1 - Best hyperreals constant

the derivative of e is 0, the integral of e is ex + C. So what are you talking about nigga?

I was going to say what in the fuck till I realized you're right; it's e^x what derives and integrates to e^x.

x

x is definitely the best constant.

x = 0/0

In fact, the integral of e^x is e^x + C, which are typically not equal (exercise: when are they equal? Hint: equate the terms and see what conditions they must satisfy. Hint: C = 0.)

HINT DEFINITE INTEGRALS

my favorite constant is G, the gravitational constant, he's such a humble fella.

HINT GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT IS A VARIABLE DEPENDENT ON MASS AND DISTANCE

No, that would be acceleration/force due to gravity. Go back to high school.

CAPITAL G IS LOWER CASE G IN CAPSLOCK WORLD.

I like the letter k, it is a great consonant.

phi

phi^2 = phi+1
1/phi = phi-1

c ftw, it's always getting forgotten when people integrate and thus deserves more recognition.

gravitational constant and speed of light is dependant on h, planck's constant, and therefore is not cool enough.
