Quote:You have limited Pi to being concerned only with circles. How do you suppose planetary orbits work? Every planet's orbit in our solar system is always described as elliptical, not as a string of approximate straight lines... Consider that Phi is found in nature, and it is an irrational number.
Again: approximations. Mathematics is a useful tool to express scientific theories, but the perfect ideals of maths aren't found in nature. Same for Phi (and by the way, the mystique of Phi has been greatly exaggerated).
Quote:This of course, paved the way for key concepts to arise - wave-partial duality and quantum uncertainty, which ultimately lead to QM.
I wasn't asking about Young's experiment (which only proved that light is made of waves, by the way. Young had obviously no idea about the implications of his experiment). Quantum Mechanics was first proposed because of discrepancies in the explanation for the radiation at high temperatures (the so-called ultraviolet catastrophe).
What I wanted to point out is that QM was discovered "backwards" from the lwas of classic mechanics. If there is a further level, we'll find out about it by working "backwards" from the laws of QM.
