According to my calculator, 2.5833*3/4=1.937475, not 2.0377. But that isn't
the problem. The problem is where sqrt(6), 3/4 and 1/2 come from. Think
about it for a minute. You didn't "find" anything, but introduced the
relationships yourself when arbitrarily chosing from an infinite number of
possible functions and "holy" numbers. This is, of course, the problem with
all kinds of numerology.
