Undergrad About fundamental constants and vacuum

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the validity of deriving two fundamental constants from five parameters, questioning the significance of such relationships. It highlights that the equations presented yield dimensionless numbers that appear arbitrary, suggesting that any connection between these quantities is constructed rather than meaningful. The ability to solve equations with arbitrary parameters is noted, emphasizing that while solutions exist, their uniqueness cannot be guaranteed, which undermines their significance. The conversation concludes with a dismissal of numerological interpretations as lacking depth and insight. Overall, the discussion critiques the reliance on arbitrary relationships in fundamental physics.

Does it not raise question to be able to build two parameters with the same dimension and order of magnitude of two fundamental constants from five parameters (other fundamental constants and measured properties)?

$$\sqrt{10\frac{\left(\varepsilon_0 e^{-2}\right)^3\left(k_B T\right)^4}{\rho_c}} \sim 3\times 10^8~m.s^{-1}$$
$$21.7\frac{\sqrt{\rho_c}}{\left(\varepsilon_0 e^{-2}\right)^{5/2}\left(k_B T\right)^2} \sim 6.6\times 10^{-34}~kg.m^2.s^{-1}$$
with
Vacuum permittivity: ##\varepsilon_0\sim 8.854\times 10^{-12}~m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2##
Elementary charge: ##e\sim 1.602\times 10^{-19}~A.s##
Boltzmann constant: ##k_B\sim 1.381\times 10^{-23}~kg.m^2.s^{-2}.K^{-1}##
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature: ##T\sim 2.73~K##
Critical density: ##\rho_c=\frac{3H^2}{8\pi G}\sim 9.2\times 10^{-27}~kg.m^{-3}##
where ##G\sim 6.674 \times 10^{-11}~m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}## is the gravitational constant and ##H\sim 70~km.s^{-1}.Mpc^{-1}## is the Hubble constant (actually between ##65## and ##75~km.s^{-1}.Mpc^{-1}## according to the measurements).
Of course, the speed of light is ##c\sim 3\times 10^8~m.s^{-1}## and the Planck constant is ##h\sim 6.626\times 10^{-34}~kg.m^2.s^{-1}##.

Besides, one can see both relations as two dimensionless numbers approximately equal to ##\sqrt{10}## and ##21.7## built from assumed independent parameters.

Any connection between quantities which are dependent on arbitrarily defined units is per construction arbitrary, hence numerology which cannot hint to any deeper insights.

Even worse, you can solve any equation system ##f_k(\alpha_1,\ldots) = c_k## with given values ##c_k## and arbitrary parameters ##\alpha_j## where the solutions are any possible arithmetic expressions ##f_i##. Existence of such a solution is trivial, and uniqueness unachievable. This alone indicates the lack of meaning.

I'm afraid we will not debate such kind of conspiracies on PF.

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
