Comments

For every prime p, since valuation(k!,p) goes to infinity as k increases, Sum_{k>=0} k! is a well-defined p-adic constant.

Conjecture: this constant is transcendental, which means that it is not the root of any polynomial with integer coefficients.

Conjecture: this constant is normal, which means for every quinary (base-5) string s with length k, if we denote N(s,n) as the number of occurrences of s in the first n digits, then lim_{n->inf} N(s,n)/n = 1/5^k.
