I love pie!

Excellent video, explained it very well.

But why is it like this? Where does it come from?

Universe using ipod hard to hit right keys but patterns of colors are the langage

[r0meyrome]

Forget the numbers the reall language of the unuverse is a complex division of colors

@Nirmalite1 and basically every bone, dna and various body parts/organs etc are Fibonacci numbers - we are IMMERSED within the pattern ;)

ok

@96soloist oops i cut off my second part. it should read

"in mathematical terms, with the fibonacci sequence defined as a(sub n)=a(sub (n-1))+a(sub (n-2)) and with a(sub 0)=0 and a(sub 1)=1, a(sub n)/a(sub n-1) as n approaches infinity equals the golden ratio."

stupid youtube's character limit....

@96soloist

actually what they're trying to say is not that any 2 adjacent Fibonacci numbers divided will equal the golden ratio but that as the fibonacci sequence increases, the result from dividing two adjacent numbers gets close to the golden ratio.

in mathematical terms, with the fibonacci sequence defined as a(sub n)=a(sub (n-1))+a(sub (n-2)) and with a(sub 0)=0 and a(sub 1)=1, a(sub n)/a(sub n-1) as n approaches infinity.

the function for e is the same. x=1 results in 2 but x=inf gives e.

I understand what they are saying, but disagree with the division of the Fibonacci factals equaling NEARLY 1.618 for instance 5/3 equals 1.6667. Even rounding to the hundrenths will be 1.62 and 1.67 which is a 500ths difference. in terms of an inch it is equal to 5/8 inch. 3/2= 1.5 and of course 2/1=1. as you get higer in numbers it comes closer to 1.618 but that number at best is an average. My question is why promote it as the most common product derived

is it 1. or 0.?

@sayyada1000 i thought god was just a myth, like the greek gods? am i missing something?
