as its reciprocal α−1 is currently known to be 137.035999084...
You can find the FSC's numerical integer portion 137, among a few places, in the base length of Khafre's Pyramid, as many of you likely know and this has already been published by some authors. 137 x 3 x 4 and 137 x 2. No fractional content there, just the whole number.
Since many researchers claim high informational esoteric value proportional to the number of decimals after the period under the presumption that a decimal system, in addition to the known summed fractions system, was used in ancient Egypt, I am curious how you all would adjudicate the following:
You can get to α−1 to within 1 part per 100,000 like this: [8+(2x11)/(19x19)] x 17 = 137.036011080... using only round numbers, for example in a cubit design using these integer dimensional values.
I have two questions:
1) If someone for example wanted to make the case that the meter system was known by the ancients as the original design unit, is this error too high and thus disqualifies the cubit as the intended metric in the design, if the claim is that the FSC was intended to be enshrined?
2) 5 sidereal lunar periods observable by eye occur after 137 sunrises, but less than 137 24-hour periods. In ancient Egypt, the day, hrw, began at sunrise.
If you had to choose between the FSC and the Moon, does this argue more in favor of the FSC as the idea behind 137 and proves an esoteric design from a lost civilization?
