B Surface volume of 3-sphere with radius of 2 Planck length?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the surface area of a 3-sphere with a radius of 2 Planck lengths, which is given by the formula 2π²r³. Participants question whether the product of Planck's constant, Einstein's proportionality constant, and Planck time equals this surface volume, and what significance this equivalence might hold. There is confusion regarding the terms "area," "volume," and the specific values being discussed. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in mathematical definitions and relationships. Ultimately, the participants are seeking to understand the implications of these calculations within the context of theoretical physics.

What is the surface area ("surface volume") of a 3-sphere having a radius of 2 Planck lengths?

Is the product of the Planck's constant, Einstein's proportionality constant and Planck time also equal to this volume?

Does this equivalence signify anything? What does it signify?

According to wikipedia, the 3-dimensional cubic hyperarea of a 3-sphere of radius r is 2 pi^2 r^3, which should answer your math questions.

I see you are still ignoring what people are telling you about the Planck length. There's no magic to it.

Well, you need to make up your mind what you are trying to say. Area? Volume? r? 2r?

If you're actually able to get things so the things you are purporting to be equal to actually be equal - something you haven't yet done - you will have proven π = π.

I'll try to reword that. What I am saying is - the product of Planck's constant, Einstein's proportionality constant and Planck time is equal to the "surface" volume of a 3-sphere having the radius of 2 Planck lengths.

I am sorry I could not understand this part.
 
Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
