I think that mathematical constants are natural, but they aren’t as significant as some people would like to think. The only reason that they are such a big deal is people make them so. So we know that the golden ratio applies to the human body’s various proportions. Ummmm…………. so what? Does this radically change our life? I understand how knowing pi would help us in production of things because we use wheels so much, but other than that one, mathematical constants have little significance. So, to answer the question more directly, mathematical constants are natural, but their significance is man-made.
