I've seen enough mathematics to know where this is going.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend...

Lesson 1: Don't have any weird expectations in me. Lesson 2: Work those muscles.

Wait is this just an infinite line that's curved?

Finite length, but there's no end to the spiralling

8 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 1

Length equal to sqrt(2)(1+sqrt(5)/(sqrt(5)-1) times the side length of the original square, or about 3.7

It's what's known as a geometric series, where each convective term is a constant ratio smaller than the previous one. In this case, the 1/

Golden ratio, (1+sqrt(5))/2. The rest is following the rules of calculus (or asking Wolfram Alpha), and the sqrt(2) comes from the diagonal2

According to the "experts", this amazing design that is found all through nature and space...somehow evolved by accident. Uh-huh.

This is a picture of the Fibonacci sequence. Made by constantly adding the two prev numbers in the sequence. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ...

As people have said, this does occur in nature, but it's not as prevalent as many suggest. Many mathematical patterns occur in nature.

It's a golden ratio between a line and the smaller line proceeding it. Many things follow the golden ratio of 1.61.

Someone several decades ago wrote a book about how it's the prettiest and best sequence then claimed it was present everywhere in nature. He

Added in a bunch of cherry picked pictures and unsupported claims. People believed him, never bothered to fact check, and away it went.

Essentially: this is the most effective and efficient pattern, plants grow to this shape, weather patterns match it etc

+1 for making it understandable and +1 more for badass username.

A very impressive claim that falls apart as soon as you actually go and measure it. It's amazing how many universal sequences you can find

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

Just so long as you are allowed to dig through thousands of pictures and round off the numbers. Just like the Golden Ratio.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Literally just like it... in a Fibonacci spiral, each square's proportions are in the golden ratio to the next.

People simply kept projecting it onto everyone and everything it remotely fit. There's no master plan of creation with the fibonnaci series.

8 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 8

Definitely not, no. But EVERY plant planet wide grows to it, so maybe humans dont sleep in this shape but it is still amazing!

A claim that has no factual basis. At all. But hey, a guy wrote about it in a book. Who needs that 'fact checking' bullshit, it sounds good.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 15

It has plenty of factual basis. If you're going to be a contrarian dick, at least have your facts straight.

Do you have evidence? As far as I'm aware it shows up in a couple plants. Some weather patterns loosely follow it now and then.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I would encourage you to watch the whole series (link in reply), it's a natural consequence of doing what's most efficient.

Earlier in the series they refer to phi as "the most irrational number" to answer "why phi?".
