The (ab)surd golden ratio | Robb Enzmann | TEDxMiamiUniversity

Mathematics has become the ugly duckling of the American education system. At first it's strange and maybe a little scary, but matures into something beautiful later on. Most people don't get to see that stage, though, and it's Robb Enzmann's intent to bring the fun part of math into the layperson's life by exploring one of nature's most fascinating numbers: The Golden Ratio.
Robb is a senior at Miami University, planning to graduate with a B.A. in Music and a B.A. in Mathematics this coming May, and will attend Miami’s graduate school to pursue an M.A. in mathematics starting in August. Robb is a passionate lover of music and technology, and blends the two as a professional music editor for figure skaters across the country. He originally came to Miami to study piano, but after taking a course in the history of mathematics his junior year, he gained a new perspective of math and picked up the double major. For his math capstone, he chose to study the Golden Ratio, since there were rumors that it could be found in the compositional structure of some music. To his dismay, most music, art, body proportions, architecture, and other things pertaining to aesthetics were completely devoid of the Golden Ratio.

such a great explanation, he needs to teach a class in the golden ratio, something where he can go more in depth about how to find its properties in architecture, or in artwork, even music uses it. Great presentation, we understand that these ted talks are only allowed so much time for a talk, great conceptual revealing though, insightful.

5 , 8 , 13, 144 are important biblical numbers. It gets interesting when you take 144 (12th Fibonacci number and 12 to the power 2). When you multiply 144 by 322 you get the 24th Fibonacci number: 46368 ( harshad value is 9). When you multiply the 24th Fibonacci number and subtract the 12th number (144), you get the 36th number. It works for every large Fibonacci number!!! ✝️

Da Vinci and many ancient artists and architects were well aware of PHI and the Golden Ratio.

But phi isnt suposed to be used this way, ignores the fact that the body is in proportion to phi that the foot is phi to the leg, and that the leg is phi to the torso. Phi in the human body | Le Corbusier (1887-1965). Depicts phi in relation from one body part to the next this also allows the foot including toes to be the same length as the forearm from inside the elbow to the wrist.

Math is unintuitive to most people because it describes the process of reality, not the existence itself. What I mean is that everything in math is taken from its context and turned into patterns, numbers and variables, which can only provide an extremely exact and thorough expression of the universe. That is fascinating in its own right, but I feel like people who are really good at math, lack the sensibility to see the universe as it actually is. In other words, seeing the universe without patterns. The universe as seen through math is always described. The universe as seen by human beings is experienced. Math describes the experience to perfection, even the physics of gravity. Because of this, math allows for the manipulation and accurate interaction with our universe in ways that generate real results for everyone. The problem is not in what math is, but in what it is not. Math lacks the totality of what something is precisely because its nature is to break things down from their whole in order to describe how that whole is composed in the first place. Therefore, the only kind of math professor who could ever truly teach math to everyone is one that is also sensitive to reality with a total absence of math. Only that kind of person could teach math to anyone. This video is not an example of that because it is all description. There's no actual explanation of the process itself. Listing the steps or describing how patterns work in nature is not an explanation, but only a description. In short, math today lacks explanations. The only thing that links reality to math is the reasoning behind it. Most mathematicians are only concerned with solving problems (in other words learning math by doing math), not by actually understanding the reasoning behind it in a non mathematical way. In fact, they usually try to turn problems into mathematical concepts as soon as they encounter them. This creates a total disconnect between the world in which people actually live, and the incredibly complex mathematical ways that exist to understand it through description. Imagine the golden pyramid, not its dimensions, not its perfect proportions, but just the pyramid itself. What does it make you feel? Can feeling ever be linked to math? Not really. By its very nature, reality and math can only be linked by the person doing the math. The problem lies in that usually that person tends to also see the universe as a mathematical description. Einstein might have been someone who understood both, which is why he linked math to reality through imagination. He worked backwards, not seeking to describe reality but experiencing reality in his mind and then finding the mathematical descriptions as to why reality is what it is. Most mathematicians don't work like that. They tend to think of ways of defining the workings of reality rather than experience them first and then let that experience (through imagination) find its correct place in a mathematical description. I wrote this long comment because this video made me truly realize today why most people are not good a math. Most people who are good at math, have always been good at it. The real interesting event would be to see a person that is bad a math become a genius at it. Goodnight

[@pinarellolimoncello]

There has to be a link between the golden ratio Phi and our language, most people know the verse 'In the beginning was the word..' well look at a word like PHIlosopher meaning lover of wisdom or francoPHIle, meaning a person that loves all things French or France. From etymology, PHI meaning love, and maths (golden ratio) we can now establish a link between our language, maths, nature and holy scripture. So as it says 'In the beginning was the word, the word WAS GOD, and the word (reasoning) was with God'. If we look at many of the social constructs we have in society in modern times it is clear that many of them are not born out of love but out of conflict, competition, misconception etc. Obviously we have free will and the possibility of disagreeing with God, choosing alternative routes but in my opinion it is also something that has been forgotten about and the redemption of mankind is all about accepting holy wisdom, working in harmony with the divine intelligence, love, life, beauty.

[@unnilnonium]

Wow. Talk about confirmation bias. The Greek root that means love in those words is PHIL, not PHI. So when Russian hackers PHIsh for compromising information, does that prove that God invented the computer and wants you to read Anna Karenina? The Latin infinitive for love is AMARE. The Latin for "To the sea" is A MARE. The Latin for "The thing which loves" is AMA RE. So, like Darwin said, life came from mother ocean. Obviously. See? that's how confirmation bias works. We have a conclusion in advance, and point to all the things that confirm it, and ignore the vast amount of information that doesn't. You can use it to come to any conclusion.Edit: I know the Latin is not exact. That's part of the point. The way PHI is close enough to PHIL for it to be significant to someone who wants to believe it's connected.

@Unbreakable Patches You can convert me to atheism if you can tell me how long will it take for blindfolded monkeys to type on typewriters that can only write 1 and 0 to come up with a computer code by chance. Better still, how many blindfolded monkeys will need to type on typewriters with U, A, C and G and for how many years - billions, zillions, gazillions? - to come up with a DNA code for the simplest organism. Man, your faith in Nature being unintelligent is much less intelligent and much more fantastic than my faith in an intelligent creator God. You have to be a blindfolded monkey not to realise there must be intelligence behind a code. Darwin believed that it was possible to shake the ingredients of a house (foundations, windows, walls, roof tiles, etc.) long enough to come up with a house. I would say that already a pretty fantastic statement. You are claiming that if you shake the lines and letters of an architectural plan long enough will be able to come up with an intelligent architectural plan that would subsequently instruct the house to assemble the ingredients of the house in the right order and build itself. All by random chance! And you claim that your belief stands on rational grounds, man. Wow!!!

Because math isn't the input or output of anything in nature. Mother nature doesnt have a calculator. Math IS however useful because its a method to put on paper complex ideas. The Golden ratio is beautiful, but More importantly, the DIVIDED LINE is the ontology of the Platonists, and from which the golden ratio is derived. They didn't have calculators, and didn't need it, because they had WISDOM. In no way did I fully rationalize my points, I know. I just wanted to add on my opinions based on empirical historical documents I've studied for 15 years. The point I wanted to make, however, was that we ALL (mostly...) need to understand is that the ideas and philosophy of Platonists, Euclideans, the Pythagoreans, the Egyptians, etc.. run CONTRARY to modern western physics. In other words, Einstein and the quantum physics that sprung out from his theories, will NEVER be able to EXPLAIN and UNITE the visible and invisible universe - which is what the golden ratio and subsequently, the divided line, express. On the topic of this guest, you did a great job man! Very simple and intuitive presentation on something that is EXTREMELY simple.. yet utterly complex for most modern human minds to grasp.
