Golden Mean
The Golden Mean
A simple mathematical ratio: 1.1.618
All nature in its simplicity follows this mean
Shapes pleasing to the eye
All in natural proportion
Flowers on a plant
Leaves on a tree
Nautilus spiral shells on a beach
Human ears on a head
Human eyes on a face
Studied by mankind for millennia
Mathematicians and artists
Architects and builders
Musicians and scientists
Have all copied the Golden Mean
Randomness or evolution?
Or, perhaps creation.
