Can a number in of itself hold certain powers?

what certain powers do you mean?

maybe superpowers which allow the numbers to lift massive objects, see through walls and calculate the nth digit of pi.

lol in 5th grade, I was actually so bored in math after I had finished and everyone else was still on problem #5, I took the time and effort to memorize the first buncha digits of pi

3.14159265358979323846248...i forget...CRAP

i actually remember the square roots of all the integers from 1 to 10.. to 11 decimal places hehe. i forgot now

the irrational numbers have unique properties...in fact its what makes them irrational

Can a number (quantity) have unique properties?

 

I think of numbers and physical QUANTITIES as entirely different. Quantities are not numbers but actual amounts---like an amount of mass, or an amount of volume, or amount of speed, or electric charge, or force.

 

How about you? Do you think a physical quantity is the same thing as a number, or different? what number do you associate with the charge on the electron?

what number do you associate with your lung-capacity, or with the mass of an electron?

 

the number you associate is probably irrelevant. what matters is the amount itself

-----------

 

assuming number and quantity are very different (connected only where you introduce a standardized unit)

then you have asked two questions.

 

1. Can a quantity have unique and special properties? Yes, the speed of light is an amount of speed which has unique special properties.

 

2. Can a number have special properties? Answer: yes, for example the number pi has special properties.

 

for that matter the number one has unique properties---it is the only number whose square is equal to itself
