Is 136 related to some physical constant? Why 2^(a power of two)? Any idea where this estimation comes from, and why it would be exact? This assumes a lot of thing about the universe, when we still don’t have a coherent descriptive theory, nor unanimity of what that could, and if that exists. Then how to verify this?
