I don't think Θ makes for a good fundamental constant, though, because it's composed of pi and e, which must persist as distinct concepts in the end.

- adrian_b 3y agoWhile pi and e must persist as two distinct concepts, they may be substituted by a constant pair that is much more useful for practical purposes is 2*pi and ln 2 ("natural" logarithm of two). When using this alternative pair of constants (which are the ratios between two pairs of units, cycle vs. radian and octave vs. neper), there is no longer any need for pi or e.
