Can the universe be explained by the golden ratio? | Decoded

Have you ever noticed similarities between the movement of stars, specks of dust and flocks of birds? Do you pause to consider how mosaics in mosques are similar to honeycombs built by bees?
If you’re paying close attention, you will notice a pattern that seems to govern natural phenomena and beautiful works of art.
For centuries, ancient thinkers have called it the Golden Ratio or the Divine Proportion.
But why is this irrational sequence of numbers so prevalent in our universe? And can this ‘cosmic constant’ predict our behavior?
In this episode, adapted from the award-winning Arabic series Dahaleez, Egyptian-born actor Amr Waked journeys from the galactic to the atomic to try to answer one of the oldest, and most persistent, philosophical questions.

Scientists have called God the master mathematician. These things like the sunflower and a honeycomb didn't happen by chance, they were created that way. Mathematicians are just trying to figure out what God has done.

The Overlords have tried to hide and destroy the old realm architecture, especially near my Mom's home town in Dresden. They want to replace all healing frequencies with cubes.

Is same as verse of Quran where Allah said for humans we will just show them paths ,one is shown by Allah by messanger prophet muhAmad and Quran and one paryh is given to man by shaitan ,so choice is yours to follow which path but rules that Allah described that who not follow Quran ,verses not doing his mind to find reasons or not read then he will follow shaitan path and who follow him will go his evil way,and every creature even trees glorifies his lord day and night it is just human whom we give choice but they not reason.

"We will show them Our *signs* in the horizon and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the *truth*. Is it not enough that your Lord is a witness over all things? Lo, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Surely he encompasses all things." - Holy Quran 41:53-54

[@quad.4419]

Golden ratio is explicitly pointed out in Quran too . The Golden Ratio or divine ratio is an infinite, non-repeating decimal that cannot be expressed as a fraction . It is irrational and is equal to about 1.618 Now see what Quran 16:18 says : "If you tried to count Allah's blessings, you would never be able to number them. Allah is ever forgiving and most merciful." Did you notice something, Golden ratio which is an "infinite" irrational number that is approximately equal to 1.618 And the exact 16 :18 verse of Quran talks about the "infinite" nature of Allah's blessings. Is it a coincidence, or some kind of hint that Allah (swt) has given us about golden ratio. Allah knows best .

Mr Amr Waked, I praise you for your wisdom in bringing the essence of wisdom to investigative journalism. This is seldom seen in an era where media now wishes to inundate us with 'knowledge' of so much corruption and suffering I can't even remember it all. that said, your investigative documentary was very refreshing and inspiring. I also do research in the areas in which you touched on in this remarkable piece, namely - philosophy, theology and psychology. who knew you were such a philosopher! now regarding your attempt to connect the 'golden ratio' to 'human behavior' you may have to open up the lens in which you are viewing the topic with some more in order to find a more wholesome perspective point being, your fixation on the golden ratio and human behavior appear too stringent. Rather, if you were to regard 'human consciousness' as opposed to just 'human behavior' you may arrive at where you initially intended to go since human consciousness constitutes human behavior. also, human consciousness provides more connect-ability for mathematical relations more so than just 'human behavior' most importantly, the golden ratio is only a fraction of the representation of universal law and unity found in the universe. For more in-depth discovery you should regard mathematics as a whole and how many aspects of not just being human but being itself ( a product of existence itself ) also constitute various 'mathematical' relations. this inevitably connects to human consciousness because human consciousness is undeniably a product of existence itself - something we can refer to as the 'original equation' - the mathematical laws and principles within existence itself and thus human consciousness/behavior. Hope to hear Back from you. Shalom.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

It's also in the western musical scale. The perfect 5th. The root and 5th are the most stable notes of the scale. When you play a root and a Perfect 5th you create a power chord. The power chord is the bases for all chords except diminish chords. Diminish chords are hardly ever used in western music because of the Tritone, also called the Devils interval. We even say Phi in the word five, like Phive. The significance is in the fact they are both stable and can be played over any note in the scale and sound good. The significance is also shown in the, Circle of 5ths, which is a universal order and reveals all things are connected. We are Perfect 5ths, 5 fingers, 5 toes, 5 senses, Our bodies are shaped like pentagram stars. So basically there's a connection to nature and the science behind the western musical scale. Fun fact the word Christ in English gematria adds up to 5. It's actually 77 but 7+7=14 and 1+4=5.

I study Mathematic. Mathematic is the oldest language, a language of science. Mathematicians called themselves discoverers, not inventors. Like the law that Newton discovered, emc square that Einstein discovered, for example. Even human deem themselves the only rational animals on earth, but human is animal after all, why are we different from other animals when it comes to the divine law of nature? We have never been able to control Nature even we have been on earth for thousands of years. The law of nature no doubt is in a much gigantic scale than us, so why do you think just because we have logical rational and free choice thinking that we can change the law of nature?
