phi is known also as the golden ratio. it is a mathematical anomaly like pi. its mathematical signature can be found in all living things like the way a leaf is structured or a conch shell is spiraled.

It is the most aesthetically appealing ratio.
Gilford, just type in the "golden ratio" into google.
See how the snails shell represents it. See how religious buildings represent it.
This is a good thread.

The "golden ratio" is related to the "Fibonacci sequence"

Yeah I learned about that in class, its (1+√5)/2. Its used all the time, Plato might have been the one who found about it first.

Things must grow in an efficient way to survive.
I dont know why this ratio is so desirable though. Galaxies, Hurricanes, Snail shells, Deer horns. Who knows.

I think the most amazing thing is the human body (arm/hand, face, etc..)
