What’s neat about plants growing with the golden angle between their leaves or other parts is that they don’t have to be at the golden angle at the start. Leaves can adjust over time to maximize sunlight, settling into the golden ratio rather than forming it automatically.

Thanks for explaining this in depth! One of my past art teachers seemed to obsess over the golden ratio, telling us to look for it in art, and most of the time when they pointed it out in works, I just couldn't see it or things didn't seem to line up perfectly, like the shell you mentioned. I've been wondering about it ever since, and finally, I have clarity!

[@samalass466]

It honestly feels likr they just nitpick spots that fit their argument. Sometimes they just out it into a spot with open air nothing to back it up.

[@gaerekxenos]

Golden Ratio for art is BS. The actual necessary aspect is the concept of leading the eye around the canvas to retain attention and not lead the eye off the canvas elsewhere (unless that is the entire point of the work, which is another story). A lot of composition 'advice' regarding ratios and placement of content on a page is an attempt to "dumb down" or "simplify" everything into easily repeatable formulas, sort of like templates. Good for mass-produced and soul-less works, but not where/what you want to start off with if you are actually working with proper ideas/concepts that you want to convey

[@lucianocastillo694]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@gaerekxenoscause plants actually use the golden ratio for maximum energy efficiency, do you think we might also should follow a ratio? Or are you saying that if we try to follow that ratio, we’ll never come close, so be natural in things?

[@carpenterhillstudios8327]

Irrational numbers and ancient greeks bothered me until I realized what you mentioned in passing early in your video- "ratio" which requires two components. So it's not about the dividing of one into the other for a quotient but it is to consider the relationship itself which creates the geometric result. Geometry literally means "earth meausre'. It was decades ago now that I began to conceive of Phi as a geometric function and what fun I've had. The ancient architectures become clearer when you look through that lens. Great video and thank you for pushing through the myth a bit.

[@erikalenoeye8925]

Fun fact: Jyotirlingam temples in India are built in the structure of the golden ratio, their description is also found in ancient scriptures which are much older than any of the greek mathematians. PS, Manchester university conformed that gravity was stolen from an old saint's philosophy by newton. So take everything with a grain of salt

[@millicentsmallpenny5837]

Lol. How in the heck does one "steal science"???? No one owns science. As Newton himself famously said " I saw what I saw by standing on the shoulders of giants". EVERY advance in knowledge is built upon the knowledge from before Newton in no way claimed to have invented the notion of gravity which is simply a name for the whatever causes a dropped rock to fall to the earth. Even today, the best physicists say that we understand little about gravity, but we know a lot about the effects of gravity. But there was certainly no one before Newton who even remotely did what Newton did with the subject of the effects of gravity So your next assignment would be to find that "old saints" work. Does it resemble, in any way, what Hewton came up with?? We use Newtons work for the ballistics required to confidently set a man on the moon. Could you do that with the old saints work? Do you even begin to understand what the old saint came up with? Newton had to invent a brand new branch of mathematics to even examine what he was learning. So I guess the old saint also invented "calculus", but we have erroneously accredited that to Newton? The poor dude! How totally wronged he was! I LOVE this hilarious idea of people "stealing" science from others. Recently I interacted with a lady who claimed that Einsteins first wife came up with special relativity, but Einstein "stole it". Marconi "stole" radio from Tesla. (At any moment that Tesla was doing ANYTHING, there were a dozen scientists around the world doing exactly the same thing). It goes on and on, and gets a bit tiring

One doesn't always know all the history of something before it gets named. That's especially true in mathematics where the same thing can be discovered independently. For example, what we call the Pythagorean theorem was known over a thousand years before Pythagoras in Old Babylonia, and known in both India and China about the time Pythagoras lived. It wasn't well known until recently that the Fibonacci sequence appeared in other places before Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1170-1250) included his rabbit problem in his arithmetic book, Liber Abaci, in 1202. About 50 years earlier Hemachandra (1089-1173) counted the number of ways a line of poetry can be composed of short syllables of length 1 and long syllables of length 2. A line of length 1 can only be a short syllable; one of length 2 either two shorts or 1 long; etc. The same sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ... results. Apparently Gopala had studied these numbers in about 1135, other Indian mathematicians as early as the 7th century, and perhaps even Pingala, the author of the Chandaḥśāstra, centuries before that.

All these types of sequences c*a[n]=b*a[n-1]+c*a[n-2] have a relationship with quadratics. The cool thing is, if you do algebra you can get values (cos(pi/n)...). The interesting part about this is at n>6. The values start becoming complex. Not all of them are complex. There is a composite number type thing going on. Anyway, this is the part where I remind you that there are no general solutions after fourth degree polynomials. There are methods that are congruent with these algebra sequences, but there is no general solution for all polynomials.

TL:DR You are increasingly likely to find a golden ratio in things, if you increase the number of things you measure, and you increase the allowable error bars. This is true for any ratio

The golden ratio is a 'beautiful' proportion though, and just because we find stretched representations does not take away from why it is so intriguing in the first place.

Good tldr! In some cases, yes. In other cases, it's the most appropriate ratio for the situation. Similar to how e is the most natural exponential.

The rhombic triacontahedron (used to make the seldom-used 30-sided die, among other things) has golden rhombuses as its faces. The diagonals of each face are in the golden ratio to each other. I find the 30-sided shape to be quite aesthetically pleasing.

While I didn't pick exactly the golden rectangle, I thought about the ones that are close in size to it, just a little longer. And what's a little longer than golden rectangle? My screens, they are 16:9. So probably just because I see them all the time. I wonder however, if it also isn't connected to our vision aspect ratio. I think it's (and ratios close enough) common for a reason, there are useful properties in them, just like you showed with leafs. But pi or tau is even more common ratio, but we take it as granted.

Just this week, i got 1 Covid-Denier-Channel (yes, the entire thing, not just 1 video) and 2 Open Racists (Users, not KZbinrs) removed. And this feels good.

Great breakdown~ there is one thing however that you're missing ~ which is why our brains actually like spirals (and not just our brains, apparently, octopedes and pufferfish build spiral-like sandcastles to attract females) ~ which has to do with the way our primary visual cortex maps to our retina (which is, in essence, logarithmic) which means that spirals actually produce symmetric self-reinforcing waves of stimulation inside our V1 cortex.

I must add one comment over the main reason over the plants having a spiral that match the Fibonacci rule: many plants have evolved like that because they feed mainly with water: H2O. This formula of water promotes the golden ratio so plants evolve into a shape to literally grab as much water as they can. This is the real main reason why we see this ratio in many places including us. But as You said it's promoted not roughly precise.

Where Phi, the Golden Ratio is n=1 and Phi = (1 + |√5|) / 2 Generally, the n-th metallic ratio = (n + |√(n² + 4)|) / 2 Continuing the Silver Ratio n=2 and the Bronze Ratio n=3 and so forth.

The DeLorean definitely belongs to somebody with safety on their mind. The third brake light was not required until 2 years after DeLorean cars went out of production. Having the high mount brake can only be a custom modification, and it's the sort of thing that improves safety and does not make the car look nicer (or make it look worse; it doesn't hurt, but it isn't a visual improvement to most people either).
