Why this number?
 

Im sure you all know about PI, it serves to calculate circles allright but that all.

But what about PHI?

:confused: Why does it appear so often like that? :confused: This number as intrigued me for quite a while...its like a ghost who finds its place everywhere in nature.

if i told you, I'd have to kill you.

cool . 1st time i see this #. i'll have to read more on the subject.

personally, i don't think it's that significant, because i don't think it really shows itself as pervasively as the site's author believes.

what he seems to be doing is selecting information in each category that supports the claim (take a look at the "Human Body" page) while ignoring data that doesn't support the claim (the bulk).

i do believe, however, that there are quite a number of strange mathematical "phenomenon."

That is my PIN number.

I've used 1618 since I was 10, so that is strange.

I would take a wild guess and say the reason it appears in nature so much has to do with chemistry and the way atoms bind together.

Congratulations! You have correctly identified the basis of 99% of the conspiracy theories in existence. The other 1% are, of course, immediately suppressed by the illuminati.

if I'm not mistaken, phi appears quite a bit in nature because its the optimal growth equation for spacing. [ie leaf spacing on certain types of trees and spiral shells]

fnord! :paranoid:
