Observations
We note that, from the number 8, we obtain as follows:
77
We notice how from the numbers 8 and 2 we get 64, 1024, 4096 and 8192, and that 8
is the fundamental number. In fact 8
2
= 64, 8
3
= 512, 8
4
= 4096. We define it
"fundamental number", since 8 is a Fibonacci number, which by rule, divided by the
previous one, which is 5, gives 1.6 , a value that tends to the golden ratio, as for all
numbers in the Fibonacci sequence
“Golden” Range
Finally we note how 8
2
= 64, multiplied by 27, to which we add 1, is equal to 1729,
the so-called "Hardy-Ramanujan number". Then taking the 15th root of 1729, we
obtain a value close to ζ(2) that 1.6438 ..., which, in turn, is included in the range of
what we call "golden numbers"
Furthermore for all the results very near to 1728 or 1729, adding 64 = 8
2
, one obtain
values about equal to 1792 or 1793. These are values almost equal to the Planck
multipole spectrum frequency 1792.35 and to the hypothetical Gluino mass

We know that the primordial fluctuations are consistent with Gaussian purely
adiabatic scalar perturbations characterized by a power spectrum with a spectral
index n
s
= 0.965 ± 0.004, consistent with the predictions of slow-roll, single-field,
inflation.
Thence 0.95108534763 is a result very near to the spectral index n
s
, to the mesonic
Regge slope, to the inflaton value at the end of the inflation 0.9402 and to the value
of the following Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction:
