A single closed-form expression that reproduces Newton's gravitational constant G from the electron mass, the reduced Planck constant, the speed of light, and the fine-structure constant alone
The relation was discovered by an exhaustive bounded equation search through 2.67 billion raw expressions [...]
Numerology[1] in other words.
Reminded me of the Koide formula[2]. While Koide's work one was at least initially theoretically motivated but later experimentally ruled out, it has lived on as a numerological relation.
