Why the golden ratio is ideal ratio?
The golden ratio is the ideal ratio because it is consistent throughout many aspects in nature - proportions of the human body, the crests and troughs of a heartbeat, the stripes on a tiger's head, et cetera. The value of the Golden Ratio is 0.5*[1 + sqrt(5)] = 1.61803 (to 5 dp)
What is the acerage human arm to body ratio?
The average human body height to arm span ratio is approximately one to one. The arm to body ratio in a human is two to one.
What is the definition of slenderness ratio?
the ratio of the mean diameter of the body of a rocket or missile to its length
How did the golden ratio help find the height of a pyramid?
The golden ratio is also known as 'phi' (a Greek letter written like an 'o' with a vertical line through it. It is an irrational number, but not a transcendental number like e and pi. You can find its value on a calculator by entering (sqrt5 + 1)/2 = 1.6180339887499..... If you break a stick into two unequal parts so that the ratio of the large part to the small part is the same as the ratio of the original stick to the large piece, then that ratio is the golden ratio. The golden ratio was known to Greek mathematicians as long as 2400 years ago. Luca Pacioli wrote about in 1509, sparking modern fascination . The golden ratio is said to be used in the proportions of Greek temples, and to be found in the ratio of various parts of an ideal human body. It is found in many places in nature, such as the pattern of the seeds in a sunflower, and the shape of a snail shell. As far as the pyramids go, many things have been said about the dimensions, proportions and orientation of the Egyptian pyramids, but my view is that this may be our imagination as much as it was actually the method of the builders of the pyramids. This is not to deny that the pyramids are an amazing feat of engineering. By the way, the first pyramids were built about 4600 years ago, 2200 years before the writings of the Greek mathematicians.
Can the golden ratio be present within your own brain and body at the atomic or subatomic level what do you think it mean. Is this number evidence of a design a massive freak coincidence or something?
The "golden ratio" is simply a number with certain properties. Claims that this number appears all over the place are, to a great extent, exaggerated - no "freak coincidence".
