So are there an infinite amount of constants like this? In terms of pi, e and this number?

Just wondering, there are an infinite number of shapes I suppose? But does that mean there is an infinite amount of constants?




There are infinite integers [1]. So even if we just look at basic polygons — shapes formed by connecting some (integer) number of points with straight lines — we easily get infinite shapes.

Math is crazy. The universe is crazy. Happy holidays!
