The Myth of the Golden Ratio

The Science of Phi

"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle." -Albert Einstein

In this section, the appearance of the golden ratio in nature will be discussed, addressing both truth and falsehood. Topics will include:
  • The Logarithmic Spiral
  • Phyllotaxis: The Fibonacci Sequence in Nature
