Abstract
After a brief review of the golden ratio in history and our previous exposition of the fine-
structure constant and equations with the exponential function, the fine-structure constant is
studied in the context of other research calculating the fine-structure constant from the golden
ratio geometry of the hydrogen atom. This research is extended and the fine-structure constant
is then calculated in powers of the golden ratio to an accuracy consistent with the most recent
publications. The mathematical constants associated with the golden ratio are also involved
in both the calculation of the fine-structure constant and the proton-electron mass ratio. These
constants are included in symbolic geometry of historical relevance in the science of the ancients.
Keywords fine-structure constant, dimensionless physical constants, history of mathematics,
golden ratio, sacred geometry, Fibonacci sequence, mathematical constants, fundamental physics.
As Willem Witteveen states in his book The Great Pyramid of Giza, “Every expression of the
golden mean, which includes: number, rectangle, triangle, spiral and frequency, is encoded in
the design of the Great Pyramid and illustrates the importance of the ratio in the universe in
which we belong.” [1]. He also states, “The golden ratio, as well as the Great Pyramid as an
expression of it, is an important key to our universe containing the Earth and the Moon” [1] and
that “the ratio between the Earth and the Moon is in fact the basis for the mathematical concept
of ‘squaring the circle’ ...” [1]. Marja de Vries states, “The Golden Ratio defines the squaring
of a circle .... According to some, in ancient Egypt, this mathematical mystery was encoded
in the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza.” [2]. Continuing with her general theme of
1
universal laws and wholeness, de Vries says, “In short, the idea dawns that the one universal
principle ... embodiment of the Principle of Least Action ... indeed seems to be the Golden
Ratio Spiral.” [2]. Richard Heath has another description, “The Golden Mean was considered
a fundamental constant by the Egyptians and the fundamental division of the whole into two
parts.” [3]. Mario Livio says, “In fact, it is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired
thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics.” [4].
Alexey Stakhov explains that “one of the most important trends in the development of mod-
ern science ... is very simple: a return to the ‘harmonic ideas’ of Pythagoras and Plato (the
‘golden ratio’ and Platonic solids), embodied in Euclid’s ‘Elements’” [5], also see [6]. As stated
previously, “The golden ratio is an approximate harmonic of the Planck length in meters and
harmonics of fundamental units have a geometric basis in ancient metrology.” [7, 8]. Further
consideration on the nature of the golden section is given by Scott Olsen [9]. Fundamental
modern applications are suggested by David Haight, “There is considerable evidence that the
golden proportion is the foundation for the unification of mathematics and physics.” [10], also
see Gazalé [11]. In the description of Eckhart Schmitz, “Mathematics is a universal language
and it would be fitting to examine the Great Pyramid in this language to derive its meaning. It
has been suggested that the Great Pyramid is a repository of ancient knowledge.” [12].
Thousands of years ago the ancients had an advanced mathematical understand-
ing of universe that is revealed in many sources. There is a consistent link to knowl-
edge of the golden mean, but the way in which the ancients were able to formulate
and use this information speaks of a technical grasp of the subject that exceeds what
we know about it in the present day. –Alison Primrose [13].
David Haight says, “The golden proportion is the only one in which its (legato) addition and
(staccato) multiplication of itself are equivalent. It is both an arithmetic and a geometrical pro-
gression, two sides of the same coin (another “two that are one”), and is the basis of logarithms
and exponentials (logarithms transform multiplication into addition, and exponentials transform
addition into multiplication).” [10].
In The Essence of the Cabalah, William Eisen describes the fundamental geometry of what he
described as the “Golden Apex of the Great Pyramid” [14]. Eisen’s description and interpretation
of Euler’s identity [15]-[17], exp(iπ) + 1=0 (“this most compact and mysterious formula” that
“Richard Feynman referred to as ‘the most remarkable formula in mathematics,’”[18]) in relation
to the Great Pyramid shows a drawing of four curves of exfrom x=0 to x=π, one curve on
each side and labelled the “Graphical Representation of the Exponential Function to the Base e.”

In addition to the exponential function [19, 20], Euler’s formula is exp(ix) = cos x+isinxand in
hyperbolic terms exp(x) = coshx+sinhx. Eisen was asking himself how the ancient Egyptians
could know so much about this and how it supports his effort to understand the role of imaginary
and complex numbers in the geometry of the Great Pyramid [14, 15]. The measures he found
in this model with exponential curves align with other traditional measures found in the Great
Pyramid design, including the golden ratio, also given as φ=exp(iπ/5) + exp(−iπ/5).

These exponential curves could be considered as having the esoteric properties of an alchem-
ical vessel as Steven Rosen explains that they “possess the feature of curving back into them-
selves.” [21]. Wolfgang Pauli’s i ring, part of his World Clock vision [22], was “used in his
description of microphysical spin” [21]. Rosen quotes Pauli, “The ring with the iis the unity
beyond particle and wave, and at the same time the operation that generates either of these.”
[21]. Also see the following references for Pauli and the spin concept development [23]-[29].
The exponential growth function is the simplest possible differential equation,
the unique solution to dy/dx =y;y(0)1 and the most primitive (prime) derivative
in which state and rate, form and function, symmetry and dynamism, being and
becoming, structure and process, the integral and the derivative, the evolute and the
involute, the ’splice’ and the ’slice’ and the squaring of a root and the extraction of
a root are the same. –David Haight [30].
Dividing the sides of his mathematical model for the Great Pyramid by πlengths results in a
small square in the center called the Golden Apex, the geometry and symmetry thought to be
associated with the generation of the four fundamental forces of nature [14, 15]. Eisen provides
a description of the dimensions formed by the exponential function and the Golden Apex square,

7 and 11 are significant keys to the Great Pyramid, 22/7'π[36]. Also noted by David Haight,
“When the Fibonacci number sequence is based on the number seven and its multiples, the
Fibonacci sequence self-reflexively reappears when differences are calculated between it and this
new number-seven-based Fibonacci sequence. The same thing happens with Lucas numbers.”

From David Haight, “prime numbers, the ‘atoms’ of mathematics, are necessarily related to the
atoms of nature because of the well-known Rydberg rule that follows the same pattern as Euler’s
harmonic zeta power series (derived from the self-derived exponential growth function).” [30].

1, φ,qφ√5 with the golden ratio φ= (1+√5)/2 with √5=2cosh(lnφ).[31]. The prime

The prime constant, P'√RA 'φ2/2π'p3/2K'√2−1.Again, Kis the inverse Ke-
pler–Bouwkamp constant [40]-[42]. Introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld, the fine-structure con-
stant determines the strength of the electromagnetic interaction [44]-[49]. John S. Rigden states,
“The fine-structure constant derives its name from its origin. It first appeared in Sommerfeld’s
work to explain the fine details of the hydrogen spectrum.” [50].
Arnold Sommerfeld generalized Bohr’s model to include elliptical orbits in three
dimensions. He treated the problem relativistically (using Einstein’s formula for the
increase of mass with velocity) .... According to historian Max Jammer, this success
of Sommerfeld’s fine-structure formula “served also as an indirect confirmation of
Einstein’s relativistic formula for the velocity dependence of inertia mass. –Stephen
G. Brush [51].
Charles P. Enz writes, “For Pauli the central problem of electrodynamics was the field concept
and the existence of an elementary charge which is expressible by the fine-structure constant ...
1/137. This fundamental pure number had greatly fascinated Pauli .... For Pauli the explanation
of the number 137 was the test of a successful field theory, a test which no theory has passed up
4
to now.” [52]. And again, Pauli is quoted by Varlaki, Nadai and Bokor concerning his evaluation
and regard for the fine-structure constant, “The theoretical interpretation of its numerical value
is one of the most important unsolved problems of atomic physics.” [53].
Michael Eckert, “Even among physicists of the twenty-first century, the ‘Bohr-Sommerfeld-
Atom’ and the ‘Sommerfeld fine-structure constant,’ remain current concepts.” [49]. David
Haight states, “Since the ideal divergence angle in nature is the golden proportion of 137.5
degrees, could this unique proportion be the reason why 137 is the ‘prime’ prime number or
paradigm prime in nature, beginning with hydrogen?” [10]. Harald Fritzsch recalls that “Richard
Feynman, the theory wizard of Caltech in Pasadena, once suggested that every one of his theory
colleagues should write on the blackboard in his office: 137 –how shamefully little we under-
stand!” [54]. Alpha,the electromagnetic coupling constant is α=e2/¯
hc in cgs units [32, 33].

ber theory:

of Eq.(10). The fine-structure constant is described by David Haight as the “basis or boundary
condition of the ‘pre-established harmony’ at the prime ‘atomic’ level of mathematics, physics,
and cosmology, for the reason that the essences of things are numbers, especially primes.” [30].

While twentieth-century physicists were not able to identify any convincing math-
ematical constants underlying the fine structure, partly because such thinking has
normally not been encouraged, a revolutionary suggestion was recently made by
the Czech physicist Raji Heyrovska, who deduced that the fine structure constant ...
really is defined by the [golden] ratio .... –John Calleman [64].
Raji Heyrovska says, “On noticing the closeness of the fine structure constant ... to the ratio
of the angles, 360◦/φ2... the author suggested that the small difference ... could be due to the
Sommerfeld’s relativity correction factor.” [65]. “It was also pointed out that the ratio 360◦/φ2
... which is a Golden section of 360◦, differs from the inverse fine structure constant by ... 2/φ3
... probably due to the difference in the g-factors for the electron and proton ... arising from the
magnetic momenta of the two particles,” with the result of α−1'(360/φ2)−(2/φ3)[66].

This extension of Heyrovska’s equation also gives α−1'137.035999 168 [67, 68]. Raji Hey-
rovska found it a “surprise to find for the first time that the Bohr radius is divided into two unique
sections at the point of electrical neutrality, which is the Golden point. The Golden ratio, which
manifests itself in many spontaneous creations of Nature, was thus found to originate right in
the core of atoms.” [66]. In degrees, the modern golden angle [69], θG=360◦/φ2and related
6
θg'26.57◦'tan−1(1/2)(twice the Cabibbo angle) is the ancient Golden Angle of Resurrection
noted by Robert Temple [7, 70]. Along with the Golden Angle of Resurrection, Robert Temple
states the Pythagorean Comma, P
cwas one of the greatest secrets of the ancient Egyptians [59].
Highly complex numbers like the Comma of Pythagoras, Pi and Phi (sometimes
called the Golden Proportion) ... lie deep in the structure of the physical universe,
and were seen by the Egyptians as the principles controlling creation, the principles
by which matter is precipitated from the cosmic mind. –Jonathan Black [71].
Aubrey Meyer finds that the “Pythagorean Comma and the Fibonacci series converge on the
Golden Section.” [72]. For the same approximate value of α−1'137.035999 168,the three
terms on the right of Eq.(11) can be reduced to √2(SA)2/√3K2φ4≈4A3/φ6and the last two

where τis the root of x4−137x3−6x2+98x+73=0, “which represents a particular quartic plane

of Bernoulli.” [32]. Number 7 also appears as 2 ×72=98 and 73=343 =6+337. The root

Mac Gregor has stated, “The bridge between the electron and the other elementary particles is

Regarding the golden ratio again, Boeyens and Thackeray [86] are quoted by Mamombe [61],
“We suggest that there is a strong case that the so-called, ‘Golden Ratio’ (1.61803 ...) can be
related not only to aspects of mathematics but also to physics, chemistry, biology and the topol-
ogy of space-time.” [86]. Xu and Zhong state, “... we would like to draw attention to a general
theory dealing with the noncommutativity and the fine structure of spacetime which comes to
similar conclusions and sweeping generalizations about the important role which the golden
mean must play in quantum and high energy physics.” [87]. In the Fibonacci inspired sequences
studied by Mamombe the number 117 marks a transition point, which is also a harmonic of the
square root of the inverse fine-structure constant [48] and he describes a “geometrical basis for
the fine-structure constant in the golden section.” [61].

Manu Seyfzadeh explains that “The pyramid’s core design is based on a Kepler Triangle whose
hypotenuse (356 cubits) is in the golden ratio (1.618. . .) to its short leg (220 cubits) incidentally
producing a side-slope angle of 51◦500.” [88]. T/φ'117/356.
The ratio of angles, 117◦/51.85◦'√φ π;φπ is another frequently encountered measure in
the Great Pyramid. 356/70 'φ π,from another Kepler Triangle. Seyfzadeh says, “Two classic

gold related to quintessence, or the ‘unified field’ of physics.” [22].
These suggestive references to the quintessential aether are interpretations of Herschel’s Alpha-
Omega-Taurus Star Gate [91], the Ark of Osiris from Coppens [92] and Hardy’s Pyramid Energy
[93]. Inverse Golden Apex, A−1as a harmonic of the Earth frequency utilized by Tesla of 6.67
Hz [94], divided by Tesla’s magnifying transmitter frequency of 11.78 Hz: 6.67/11.78 'Ω.
With Parr’s 51.5 Hz pyramid orb frequency, the ratio is 51.5/11.78 '2π−(6/π)'6√T'K/2
[95, 96].
Euler’s equation and the exponential function applied to the geometry of the Golden Apex of the
Great Pyramid were part of four different calculations of the inverse fine-structure constant with
the same approximate value. The fine-structure constant and the Golden Apex were related to
the proton-electron mass ratio, golden ratio and other fundamental constants; finally speculating
briefly on the metaphorical physics and mathematical metaphysics of the Great Pyramid [97, 98].
These results illustrate clearly the highly interrelated nature of the fundamen-
tal constants. Dependent as our knowledge of them is upon many different fields of
physics, we have here a good example of the importance of making occasional anal-
yses of the consistency situations of sufficiently inclusive scope to serve as valuable
guides to further research. The present example emphasizes especially that a better
knowledge of the Sommerfeld constant, α, would be of great value to physics at the
present time. –Jesse DuMond [99].
David Haight quotes “Physicist John Wheeler, who coined the term ‘geometrodynamics’ put it
this way, ‘Physics is really geometry .... Some profound connection exists between the funda-
mental constants of microphysics and the geometry of the cosmos.’” [10].
This unification of mathematics through Phi should not come as a complete sur-
prise to us since Phi is related to all three means that are essential to mathematics-
-the arithmetic, the geometric and the harmonic. (These three means are the result
of the calculus of differences, just as the harmonic intervals in music are the result
of the calculus of variations.) –David Haight [10].
Eckhart Schmitz emphasizes, “The Great Pyramid of Giza may clearly be regarded as a reposi-
tory of ancient knowledge.” [12]. In conclusion, Witteveen is quoted again on Pythagoras, “All
is number, everything is movement, everything is music in the harmony of the spheres.” [1].
This ‘harmony of the spheres’ is exemplified by the Golden Apex [7] in a relation which also
‘squares the circle’ [1], pA/2'3/11.As Robin Heath explains, “This ratio of 3:11 is exactly
the ratio between the Moon’s diameter ... and the diameter of the mean Earth (the first major
treatment of this was in City of Revelation by John Michell [100], who was responsible for its
rediscovery).” [3]. With reference to the revelation of this harmony Mary Anne Atwood states,
“And here the external and internal worlds were seen to blend together in confluent harmony,
proving and establishing each other, and leaving reason nothing more to doubt of, or the senses
to desire, but a fulfillment under the universal law. [101].
