THE NETHER FLOW CONSTANT

Suppose that we were to relate instantaneous nether velocity with gravity, both as found at the earth's surface. The equation would be:
Mv_e = Kg_e.

If we solve this equation for the value of "K", we have what I have called the "nether flow constant". At sea level on earth, we can give "M" a value of one and use it as a standard, allowing us to use the simpler equation:
v_e = Kg_e.

When we use "M" at sea level as a standard, "K" can be used at places other than earth's surface, but only to find Mv when "g" is known. With this in mind, let us play with "K" for a bit.

v_e = distance / time
g_e = distance / time ²

1.    v_e = Kg_e

2.    From dimensional analysis, K must be a measure of time.

3.    v_e = (2r_eg_e) ^1/2
This is our equation for nether velocity.

Substituting equivalent of v_e:
4.    Kg_e = (2r_eg_e) ^1/2

Squaring both sides of the equation:
5.     (Kg_e) ² = 2r_eg_e

Removing the parentheses:
6.    K ² g_e ² = 2r_eg_e

Dividing both sides by g_e ²:
7.    K ² = (2r_e / g_e)

Taking the square root of both sides:
8.     K = (2r_e / g_e) ^1/2

We should solve for "K" using the values for the earth's radius and gravity as found at the poles because at any other points, there is centrifugal force from the earth's rotation, which causes r_e to increase and g_e to decrease. At the poles, "r_e" is 3,950.19 miles, and "g_e" is 32.2577759 feet/second². Solving for "K" at the poles, we discover that it is almost equal to 256 pi multiplied by the square root of two. In fact, if we use
(256pi)(2^1/2)
and then solve for the radius of the earth,
r_e = 3,951.67 miles which differs only .0375% from the r_e at the poles (3,950.19 miles).

This apparent coincidence would not have made any impression on me except that 256 times the square root of two is the frequency for an octave of ancient China's equivalent of our F sharp. And this is the note upon which their musical and astrological scales were based - which causes me to wonder what they knew, in this regard, that we do not. Or perhaps we are seeing what is nothing more than another strange coincidence.
