Superior constant is superior

[Anonymous No.3710649]

All you taufags completely miss the point that <span class="math">4\pi[/spoiler] is far more important than <span class="math">2\pi[/spoiler].

wtf? no it isn't
tau makes far more sense, watch this.

Hipsters gonna hip. Pi is not leaving, deal with it

Many formulas in physics have <span class="math">4\pi[/spoiler] in them. Most importantly Maxwell's equations.

Therefore, if anything, we should take <span class="math">4\pi[/spoiler] as a new constant.

How so?

>>3710709
did you actually watch the video?
list 3 formulas that use 4 pi or GTFO

But that's just not the case.

<div class="math">\nabla \cdot E = 4 \pi \rho</div>
<div class="math">D = E + 4 \pi P</div>

It would be useless to go on, all of them stem from the fact that it's the integral over <span class="math">d\Omega[/spoiler], hence it appears in every formula that uses spherical coordinates and assumes rotational simmetry.

And Einstein's field equation even uses <span class="math">8\pi[/spoiler]

<div class="math">G_{\mu \nu} + \Lambda g_{\mu \nu}= 8 \pi T_{\mu\nu}
</div>

Oh sorry, there I was thinking that there was more to mathematics than its applications to physics.
Silly me.

If you use LH instead the factors just move to other equations, like Coulomb's law.

>using a constant because it's easier to memorize instead of encouraging people to learn where their precious formula comes from
