273 - Mystery number

One of the recurring numbers in this whole exploration of the underlying mathematics linking the Earth, Moon and Sun is 273, or 0.273.

This constant is reached through this simple sum:   (4 - pi) / pi = 0.2732

The ratio of Earth diameter to moon diameter is 0.273
The ratio of moon diameter to Earth diameter is 3.66

27.32 earth days in Sidereal period of the moon ( one moon day ).
27.32 freezing point of water on Kelvin scale (K)
273 days in an average human pregnancy.  (10 lunar months)
2,730,000 the circumference of the sun in miles.
-273.2 degrees celcius is the temperature of absolute zero.
Gasses expand by 1/273 of their volume with every degree on the Celcius/centigrade scale.
366 lunar days (27.32 earth days) = 10,000 earth days.


If you were to draw a circle inside a square, with the circle's diameter the same as the square's length, the area left over that the circle does not cover is 27.32% of the total area of the square.

And interestingly, John Cage's experimental music hit 4'33, where he released a song with 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence and nothing else, is in fact, 273 seconds long.

A little graphic to share..

More mucking about with numbers. The magic 0.915 ratio....

366 / 400 = 0.915
(days in year) divided by (number of times sun is further from earth than moon) = 0.915

0.915 x 10928 = 9999.12
0.915 of moon diameter = pretty damn close to 10,000.

366 x 10928 = 3999.65
(days in year) multiplied by (kilometres around moon's circumference) = 3999.65 = pretty damn close to 4000.

27.322 (days in sidereal month) x 366 = 99.999 = pretty damn close to 100.

400 / 27.322 = 1464.02
400 x 3.66 = 1464  !

0.915 x 1464 = 1600


400 / 10928 = 0.03660322
40,000 /10928 = 3.66


Speed of light divided by 366 = 109724 km /s  - (Recurring 109 again...)

                           0.915 
 also equals 10 nanoseconds per metre.



I don't know what any of it means either, but the more I fiddle around with these numbers, the more strange relationships I find....

Moony Business

The Moon's polar circumference is 27.3% the size of the Earth's polar circumference.

The Moon orbits the earth every 27.3 Earth days and turns 10920.8 km at the equator every 27.3 days.  This equates to a speed of 400 km/h.  The Earth turns at 100 times the rate and travels 40,000 km per rotation.  Conversely the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon and 400 times further away from Earth, which is why we get to see such great eclipses.

Earth turns 366 times each orbit of the sun, and is 366% the measurement of the moon at the polar circumference.  The moon orbits earth 366 times every 10,000 days.

There are 109.2 Earth diameters across the Sun's diameter.
There are 109.2 Sun diameters between the Earth and the Sun when it is at the furthest reach of it's orbit around the sun.
There are 109.2 x 100 km across the circumference of the Moon.

Please feel free to check these sums and come to your own conclusions :).

So you're telling me...

366ing

Diameter of Earth (km)  /  Diameter of Moon (km)  =  3.6668
12472  /  3475  =  3.6668

Strangely enough, the earth rotates 366 times in a single orbit of the sun.  And if you divide that recurring 400 by 3.66, you get that recurring 109.28.

More on 366 another time.  When I figure it all out....

400 and things

So...

Wikipedia lists the moon's rotational speed at the equator as 4.627 m/s.  This works out as 16.6572 km/h.  Which means that in one earth day of 24 hours, it covers 399.728 km.  Which is about as close to that recurring "400" mentioned in the previous posts as can be.

Wikipedia also lists the earth's rotational speed at the equator as 1674.4 km/h.  That's pretty close to 100 times the moon's speed.

1674.4 km/h  /  16.6572 km/h =  100.521095

Therefore, in 24 hours the earth rotates 40185.6 km.

The moon covers 400 km  of ground in a day.
The earth covers near enough 40,000 km in a day.
