From: Archimedes Plutonium on 2 Apr 2010 01:44 I am not sure if Maxwell determined the speed of light from purely physics numbers in 1860s or whether he did that earlier than the 1860s from these calculations: --- quoting Wikipedia --- vacuum permittivity å0 vacuum permeability ì0 established by Maxwell theory, c2 = 1/å0ì0. --- end quote --- Well, I am determining the speed of light not from Physics measures or physics numbers but entirely out of pure mathematics. And I can do that, since mathematics is but a subset of Physics. Now Maxwell needed permittivity and permeability, which are physics experimental numbers. What I do, is I know the speed of light, but I do not know what the last and final Finite Number in mathematics is. I am guessing it is the largest Planck Unit and the largest Planck Unit is 10^500 of the Coulomb Interactions inside the atom of element 109. So I am guessing that this number 10^500 is the last and final number in all of math and physics and beyond that number lies infinity. This is what happens when Math has a precision definition of Finite, that a number is the boundary between Finite and infinite. So I already know the speed of light as 3 x 10^10 cm/sec. But I do not know for sure whether the last Finite number is 10^500 or it could be 10^200 or even smaller as 10^190. But I do know what pi and "e" are and I do know the speed of light. So I take a logarithmic spiral and I take associated circles to that spiral. Here I am following the Geometry Principle that Eucl geom == Ellipt unioned Hyperbolic geometries So the logarithmic spiral is the time in seconds curve and the associated circles are the distance in centimeters curves. The log spiral is open ended while the circles are closed. So there is a disparity or skew in the log spiral with the associated circle, where association is linked by equidistance in the path of the log spiral versus the circumference of the associated circle. So here is the question, at what distance does the skew or disparity exactly equal 3 x 10^10 cm/sec ? Is that number reached at 10^190 or is it reached at 10^500 ? Or maybe it is reached at 10^600 and I was hugely off with 10^500. So what Maxwell did to fetch the speed of light was to use two numbers begott from experimental Physics of the permittivity and permeability. What I use are the logarithmic spiral and the associated circles and have one as the time scale and the other as the distance scale and where their disparity is 3 x 10^10 cm/sec I look to see what that circle or winding of the log spiral is. And that number, whether 10^500 or something else, is the largest finite number and that mathematics and physics resides in that finite region. P.S. Comment: Unlike Maxwell, who actually did derive the speed of light, I use the speed of light to find out the largest Finite Number. But if I had the largest finite number to start off with and did not know what the speed of light was, then I can fetch it by simply computing the skew or disparity of the circles and windings of the log spiral at that last and largest finite number.
