> m_mu / m_e = 206.768... phi^4 = 206.765... > m_tau / m_mu = 16.817... phi^3 = 16.817... > [...] > Where did I go wrong? If phi is the Golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, then - phi^4 is about 6.8541019662496845446137605 - phi^3 is about 4.23606797749978969640917366873127623544 -- Addendum: the only numerical coincidence that I am aware of concerning the masses of the electron, muon and tau is the Koide formula: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koide_formula which says (m_e + m_mu + m_tau)/(sqrt(m_e) + sqrt(m_mu) + sqrt(m_tau))^2 ≈ 2/3. This is a numerical coincidence that physics cannot yet explain. |
