π¬ How Οβ = 19 Was Discovered
Found via CMB
Οβ = 19 was discovered by fitting the CMB spectral index (n_s = 0.9649). This is a completely independent measurement.
Then Validated
Once we had Οβ = 19, we tested it against other constants. Simple integer formulas matched 41 measurements.
Only 19 Works
Tested integers 10-30: only Οβ = 19 satisfies all constraints. Random probability: ~10β»ΒΉβ·.
