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"
^exactly
but naw type it into startpage.com fuck google
It's seems like humans found about that ratio since early ages, alot of artists, architects etc.. used it expl : Leonardo Da Vinci
it adds up to 7
Dont get Pi and Phi mixed up.
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..)
