The value of n is still unknown, but new results constrain it to fall between 8 and 10^500, ruling out popular ‘n=1’ and ‘n=2’ theories.

      The specific number 4.1083 does not have any notable significance or special role in the contexts of physics, chemistry, finance, astronomy or cryptography.[citation needed] 4.1083 (or at least 4.108) has been referenced previously in comic 899: Number Line.

        Curious, according to whom? Outside of just unsourced reports of its market cap, the estimates on its valuation are less than half that number.

        I really cannot find a news source.

          Hmm you’re right, honestly I just googled and saw the same exact number with a decimal point shifted, so I put two and two together

          As for whether that number is actually a valid valuation, I’ve not got the information to say
