I tried some of your alternative scaling relationships with little
success. For example, the suggested derviation: Lambda=1/Sqrt[2*Pi*rp]
gives a value that is off by over a factor of 10, and has the
dimensions L^-1/2 instead of being dimensionless! I appreciate your
efforts, but I am frustrated by the focus on where the scaing equations
come from, instead of on the more important issue: their basic
implication that nature is a discrete fractal.
Here is a straightforward question. Is it possible that Lambda and D
just are what they are, and there is nothing more to be dervied? In
nature some things like the velocity of light or the value of Pi are
fundamental properties of nature's geometry. There is nothing to be
derived from something else; the values just plain are what they are.
Is it reasonable to treat Lambda (= 5.2 x 10^17) and D (= 3.174) as
fundamental dimensionless numbers, and get on with studying nature
(instead of theoretical mumbo-jumbo)?
