Where the article explains it
where is the n -th negative zero of the Airy function — 2.338, 4.088, 5.521, 6.787, and so on — and the mass has been split deliberately into a gravitational piece , which sets how hard the potential pulls, and an inertial piece , which sets how the wavefunction spreads in response.
