c = π² x 7 x 2701
The Speed of Light — Exploring a Numerical Connection
A Curious Equation
The speed of light c is approximately 186282 miles per second.
This page explores a simple equation using π, the number 7, and 2701:
c ≈ π² × 7 × 2701 ≈ 186604 miles per second
The result is very close to the measured value — differing by about 322 miles per second (0.17%).
Breaking It Down
π² ≈ 9.8696 — from the circle constant π ≈ 3.14159.
7 — a number often seen as symbol of completeness.
2701 — factors as 7 × 73 × 37 (all prime numbers).
This combination produces a value remarkably near the actual speed of light.

The reciprocal of the fine-structure constant (≈137) appears in related calculations.
Some see echoes in ancient measurements (e.g., Great Pyramid geometry ≈186600 arc seconds).
Open Wonder
The close match invites curiosity — is it coincidence, or a hint of deeper numerical harmony linking light,
circles, and primes?
Exploratory idea — no proof, just patterns to ponder.
The speed of light connects everything.
