This Cold…Is Kicking My Butt

I thought it was going to be a quickie one or two day affair.  But alas, we’re now at a week and it’s still hanging on.  Still stuffy and coughy and nose runny.  Make it stop!

The Daily Factoid - Phi

1.618—The ratio, or proportion, determined by Phi (1.618…) was known to the Greeks as the “dividing a line in the extreme and mean ratio” and to Renaissance artists as the “Divine Proportion”  It is also called the Golden Section, Golden Ratio and the Golden Mean.

Plants illustrate the Fibonacci series in the numbers and arrangements of petals, leaves, sections and seeds.

Phi appears in the Solar System and The Universe.  From the distances between the planets, to the structure of Saturn’s rings to the shape of the Universe itself, phi is found again and again in different manifestations.  New findings reveal that the universe itself is in the shape of a dodecahedron, a twelve-sided geometric solid with pentagon faces, all based on phi.

A cool book that we bought after reading about phi in The Da Vinci Code was The Golden Ratio : The Story of PHI, the World’s Most Astonishing Number - fascinating book, but sometimes over my head. wink

About

My blog is pretty self-explanatory, as are my 101 Things. Rant, rant, rant, watch tv. I wasn't sure this needed to be said, but I guess it does - this blog is about ME. It's self-indulgent, self-centered, self-(insert word here), because it's me, writing about me. 101 Things About Me
