The calculators in Windows will return that and even more

It is nothing so crude as to disprove the so-called Plank length,the
non-periodic sequence of digits reflecting the correspondence between
the diameter and circumference of a circle mirrors a different and
more elaborate balance between random and periodic,in this case the
pure geometry of non-periodic tiling -

Over 20 years ago I discovered a balance between pentagonal and
hexagonal geometries which remains my most loved work and in fact
constitutes one of my first postings to the Usenet about 15 years
ago,although a private work now,it does act as a kind of foundation
for many areas related to Phi and these turn up everywhere,I found it
most valuable in stellar evolutionary processes as interpreting the
natural efficiencies related to Phi in nature,I had no problem
adjusting to stellar processes.Although I did copyright a work in 1990
relating to stellar evolution where density/volume ratios in stars as
they turn Supernova could be best expressed as two large external
rings with a smaller internal ring which proved to be very satisfying
4 years later when the images of SN1987a showed up.No conclusions
other than it appears that a supernova event is not the death of a
star but merely a transformation hence there is a possibility that the
higher elements that comprise everything we see arose from our own
Sun.

Like non-periodicty,there is always rooms for change,being
wrong,balancing interpretation with speculation while retaining
geometry all the while instead of trying to obliterate it with
mathematical notation.A genuine empiricist would have picked up on an
adjustment to stellar evolution a long time ago but in an era where
geometry is so disrespected and especially astronomy,you and everyone
else pays for that disrespect.No doubt there will always be wistful tv
programs about the toxic strain of empiricism but real astronomy has
been done here for ages and well away from the wider public,it is
thrilling and everything is up for discussion regardless of how much
acid is thrown in my direction.
