2+2 would equal 5 in a world with out 4

I'll grant you the 'would' but wouldn't that raise holy havoc with the
cosmological constants?*

When you encounter the question of "how much," you probably think of the force of gravity being determined by a universal gravitational constant, G, and of the "energy of a particle" being determined by its rest mass, such as the mass of an electron, me. You think of the speed of light, c, and for quantum mechanics, Planck's constant, ħ. But physicists don't like to use these constants when we describe the Universe, because these constants have arbitrary dimensions and units to them.

*Now that I think about it that would be moving from base 5 to base 4, expressed in base 10. That would be possible in our Universe.
