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".

Is the golden ratio evidence of a grand design a massive freak coincidence or something else?

The golden ratio is the solution to x-1 = 1/x. That is, it's the number whose inverse is the same as itself minus one. I wouldn't call it a coincidence that there is a solution. It's just ... true? Like other simple mathematical constants, it pops up in geometry, trigonometry, number sequences, fractals, etc. I'm not sure if these count as coincidences to you or not. It shows up in nature, too, although not always precisely, and not exclusively. There's lots of math in nature. There's math in everything! It's also used in art and architecture. I guess I wouldn't call it more of a massive freak coincidence than any other mathematical truth. Or is there some other reason to?


Does electron mean a subatomic particle with a negative charge?

Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles, but have almost no mass. The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 that of a proton or neutron. The neutron is the most massive of the subatomic particles at 1.6755 x 10-24 grams.


Does a neutron have mass and if so, how does it compare to the mass of other subatomic particles?

Yes, a neutron has mass. The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton, which is another subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons and protons are both much more massive than electrons, which are the smallest subatomic particles.


Which subatomic particle is least massive?

The three main subatomic particles are the proton, neutron, and electron. Of these three, the electron has the least amount of mass at about 0.0005 amu or atomic mass units.

What is the difference between a massive desk and a messy desk?

The adjective massive describes something as very large, massive, or solid. The adjective messy describes something as disorderly and/or dirty, demonstrating carelessness. A massive desk is a BIG desk. A messy desk is a DISORDERLY desk, perhaps even a DIRTY desk.

Does the proton have almost no mass?

While on a human scale, the proton has no mass (your body contains around 2 x 1028 protons, give or take) it is a relatively large massive subatomic particle.
