NO I AM NOT STARTING A CULT

Not coincidences

  • The 24-cell with side length 1: it only has lengths of sqrt(1), sqrt(2), sqrt(3), and sqrt(4) between any two distinct vertices.
    • 96 sqrt(1) lengths, 72 sqrt(2) lengths, 96 sqrt(3) lengths, 12 sqrt(4) lengths (all 3-smooth numbers!)
    • Total edge lengths are 96, total area is 24*sqrt(3), total cell volume is 8*sqrt(2), total volume is 2.
  • Matt Parker calling 2 and 3 subprimes and 2 and 3 literally forming the bedrock of almost every 'natural' JI system (I agree with him)
  • The truncated Spiral of Theodorus

Coincidences

  • EulerGamma ≈ 1/sqrt(3)
  • QPochhammer[1/2] ≈ 1/sqrt(12)
