I know this sounds strange, and it has been many years since my college astronomy course, but has any famous Astronomer or Scientist ever researched whether the stars form a certain mathematical equation important to the universe? Yes...I am sober, and genuinely curious.

Not to my knowledge. Remember that the stars are at different distances in 3-d space from each other and from us, and all we really see is the 2-d projection of their position. Anyway, the stars are moving, and in time, the Big Dipper will not resemble itself at all. The motion has been measured and the shape as a function of time is known.

Yes...it IS strange all right.
Must have been one (or more) of those crazed liberal 'profess--ers' imagining some sort of "order" about the universe! The universe has no order. It's just another symptom of the insidious dreaded Chicken Little Syndrome. They tend to live in their own little perfect world and 'aknolidge' the outside world with disdain. They have paranoid delusions of horrors, death, and destruction coming down on themselves. They shriek and squawk and panic about things of which NOTHING can be done about, fixed or stopped, no matter how much money is spent appeasing the whiners or lotion for their hand wringing just to make themselves feel better about themselves. And if one panics, they all panic! That's what's so dangerous about these nit-peckers, they flock together like a coop of chickens and cluck themselves into a frenzy about the world out side their perfect little imaginary worlds and go into mass panic fleeing the building to squawk their new fears to the befuddled real world. AND of course among their numbers are TV and paper liberal propaganda masters.

No, the constellations are simply a 2D representation of a 3D galaxy and have no real significance other than those stars are a little brighter than the rest. Some are close, some are far, some big some small. No meaning at all.

No. The positions are quite random.
