Is it 71 degrees angle? Now some are going to say, AP, how does your derivation get rid of the units for the speed of light? And my answer is that no matter what units you want to throw at me. Throw me 186,282 miles/sec or throw me some really obnoxious made up stuff for a speed of light, and have you thence put miles or made up stuff into the Planck units of Planck Length and Planck Time. So if you throw me miles/sec, then it is your burden to have to put miles into the Planck Length. And so, what comes out is that it all is equal to 3 x 10^8 m/sec. And thus there is a pure math derivation of the speed of light. It involves the Golden Rectangle Logarithmic Spiral on a sphere surface. The spiral is time and the longitude is distance. The angle formed is a constant, or, is the speed of light itself. So in the forming of the angle, we divide distance by time and end up with something like this for meters and seconds, 10^44 / 10^36. If someone complains that it does not look like miles/sec, well, put miles into the conversion so as to fit into the Planck length and Planck time equations. Now if memory serves me on the history of the loxodrome, that the Rhumb line was thought to be the shortest distance between two points on the globe. But obviously near the poles this is false, and that near the equator one maybe tempted to think that the rhumb line could be a close call as the shortest distance, but we do know the great-circle is the shortest distance. I want to harp back to the anchor in this quest. The anchor is that of Special Relativity, and for Euclidean geometry alone, it is the number "pi" that is constant to all observers and all frames of reference since every circumference/diameter is pi in Euclidean. But in the breaking of symmetry of Euclidean we have Elliptic unioned Hyperbolic geometry and that is the spacetime we live in and that the speed of light is the Special Relativity of Elliptic unioned Hyperbolic. The speed of light is not pi, since pi is a variable in Elliptic and Hyperbolic, so thence, what is the speed of light in Elliptic unioned Hyperbolic? The answer is the angle of a loxodrome with a golden-mean log-spiral. And the derivation of 3 x 10^8 for meters and seconds is purely got from mathematics itself. Just as the derivation of the mass ratio of proton to electron or the inverse fine structure constant come out of pure math in that the Plutonium Atom Totality is 5f6 giving rise to 6(pi^5) and (pi^7)/22 giving rise to 137. Likewise in a Plutonium Atom Totality, the Planck length/Planck time yields a constant angle in the loxodrome of the 5f6.
