is there any way i could suggest the addition of phi to the constants? phi is equal to $${\frac{\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{5}}}}\right)}{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$ does that make it too simple to be a constant or anything? the significance of that is for any ratio where x/y = x+y/x (and i think x has to be the bigger one) the ratio will be equal to phi. its also known as the golden ratio. just wondering
+130516 Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that "Phi" comes into play enough on this site to add it to the constants menu....we only occasionally encounter it.....
+1038 The missing Phi constant is a pain, but here are some great ones I use all the time.
The 220 lattice spacing of silicon constant. I use this one the most. It’s especially useful for efficiently sweeping sand out of my beach house.
The Sackur-Tetrode constant (1 K, 101.325 kPa). I use this one to estimate the size of the vacuum cleaner I need.
The Shielded proton mag. mom. to Bohr magneton ratio. I use this one to calculate how close I can stand to my household-sized nuclear reactor that powers the vacuum cleaner.
The electron-tau mass ratio. This is used as a substitute for the dominant hadronic tau decays for the heaver particles that escape the shielded proton magneton generator. It also allows for a basis to make optimum adjustments for when my mother-in-law visits.
Atomic unit of 1st hyperpolarizability This one tells me how hyper-polarized I am in person.
Atomic unit of 2nd hyperpolarizability This one tells me how hyper-polarized I am on line.
Phi estimates the potential effect this has on others. I have to enter the number manually --what a bummer!
I would give an example, but the equations are proprietary, I can’t share them.
