The Golden Ratio

There is a number that is referred to as the Golden Ratio. It is the number for which the entire human body is based off of, and there is no understanding as to why. This is extremely fascinating because many people have come to this number without meaning to. For example, Fibonacci stumbled upon this with his sequence which starts off as 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, …, you get the idea, and Pythagoras came across it with his theorem that a² + b² = c²  which is also connects back to this ratio. This ratio is considered to be a god like and it appears throughout many buildings that are, and were built for the gods. For example, the Parthenon in Greece has this sequence used in its building proportions. It is said that any building that uses this Golden Ratio is the most beautiful as well as having the greatest connection to the individual and we do not know why. Many architects, designers and philosophers have said that when one walks into a building that is designed off of the Golden Ratio, they cannot deny its beauty.
