The second important number is the Golden Mean or the Golden Number/Ratio, which is 1.618. This number has a natural relationship through Primes numbers, specially Primes Quadruplets. The Golden Mean can be found almost everywhere in nature (patterns) and also in ancient human constructions such as Pyramids and the Parthenon.
