1.618 - The God Number

1.618                                      
                        is a special number in Mathematics. Not only in Maths but also in every other fields. It is everywhere around you; in  plants, in pencil; in tea cup; in everything you see. Even it is in you.

                       1.618 is the number what mathematicians say "Phi". It is called the Golden Ratio. It is the fundamental building Number of our Universe. 
                       Let us get in to the matter what ancient scholars believed and even modern scientists have accepted. That is 'The Divine Proportion'. Everything in the Universe is made with a perfect geometry.
 For example,
                    If you take a Honey Bee community, the total number of female bees exceeds the male ones. When you take the ratio of them you will get 1.618:1

         Cannot believe it, take a small branch of any plant and if you measure the ratio between the leaf nodes you will get what? 1.618:1

         Even if you cannot accept it, try this; Take a measuring tape and measure the height from your head to abdomen and note it down. Next measure the distance from the abdomen to toe. Then divide them and you will get amazingly the ratio 1.618:1.Try the same for different segments of your body. All ratios will be 1.618:1.

           The teeth, the nostril holes, the eyes, the ears everything you take, you will get the Golden Ratio.

          If you take the Fibonacci Series, the ratio of the adjacent numbers will give you 1.618

         In the 16th century Leonardo Davinci studied the human anatomy by examining corpse and he proved the Divine Proportion in human body. His most famous drawing "The Vitruvian Man" proves the Divine Proportion.
