9,900 | On January 16, 2013, All Nippon Airways Flight NH-692, en route from Yamaguchi Ube Airport to Tokyo Haneda, had a battery problem warning followed by a burning smell while climbing from Ube about west of Takamatsu, Japan. The aircraft diverted to Takamatsu and was evacuated via the slides; three passengers received min... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,901 | On January 16, 2013, the FAA issued an emergency airworthiness directive ordering all American-based airlines to ground their Boeing 787s until yet-to-be-determined modifications were made to the electrical system to reduce the risk of the battery overheating or catching fire. This was the first time that the FAA had g... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,902 | The FAA also conducted an extensive review of the 787's critical systems. The focus of the review was on the safety of the lithium-ion batteries made of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO). The 787 battery contract was signed in 2005, when this was the only type of lithium aerospace battery available, but since then newer and... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,903 | On January 20, the NTSB declared that overvoltage was not the cause of the Boston incident, as voltage did not exceed the battery limit of 32 V, and the charging unit passed tests. The battery had signs of short circuiting and thermal runaway. Despite this, by January 24, the NTSB had not yet pinpointed the cause of th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,904 | The Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB) has said on January 23 that the battery in ANA jets in Japan reached a maximum voltage of 31 V (below the 32 V limit like the Boston JAL 787), but had a sudden unexplained voltage drop to near zero. All cells had signs of thermal damage prior to runaway. ANA and JAL had replaced ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,905 | The only American airline that operated the Dreamliner at the time was United Airlines, which had six. Chile's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) grounded LAN Airlines' three 787s.

9,906 | On February 7, 2013, the FAA gave approval for Boeing to conduct 787 test flights to gather additional data. In February 2013, FAA oversight of the 787's 2007 safety approval and certification was under scrutiny. On March 7, 2013, the NTSB released an interim factual report about the Boston battery fire on January 7, 2... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,907 | Boeing completed its final tests on a revised battery design on April 5, 2013. The FAA approved Boeing's revised battery design with three additional, overlapping protection methods on April 19, 2013. The FAA published a directive on April 25 to provide instructions for retrofitting battery hardware before the 787s cou... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,908 | On January 14, 2014, a battery in a JAL 787 emitted smoke from the battery's protection exhaust while the aircraft was undergoing pre-flight maintenance at Tokyo Narita Airport. The battery partially melted in the incident; one of its eight lithium-ion cells had its relief port vent and fluid sprayed inside the battery... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,909 | The NTSB has criticized FAA, Boeing, and battery manufacturers for the faults in a 2014 report. It also criticized the GE-made flight data and cockpit voice recorder in the same report. The enclosure Boeing added is heavier, negating the lighter battery potential. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=307133 |
9,910 | In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities formula_2 and formula_3 with formula_4, | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,911 | where the Greek letter phi ( or formula_5) denotes the golden ratio. The constant formula_6 satisfies the quadratic equation formula_7 and is an irrational number with a value of | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,912 | The golden ratio was called the extreme and mean ratio by Euclid, and the divine proportion by Luca Pacioli, and also goes by several other names. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,913 | Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio's properties since antiquity. It is the ratio of a regular pentagon's diagonal to its side and thus appears in the construction of the dodecahedron and icosahedron. A golden rectangle—that is, a rectangle with an aspect ratio of formula_6—may be cut into a square and a small... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,914 | Some 20th-century artists and architects, including Le Corbusier and Salvador Dalí, have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio, believing it to be aesthetically pleasing. These uses often appear in the form of a golden rectangle. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,915 | One method for finding formula_6's closed form starts with the left fraction. Simplifying the fraction and substituting the reciprocal formula_13, | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,916 | Because formula_6 is a ratio between positive quantities, formula_6 is necessarily the positive root. The negative root is in fact the negative inverse formula_17, which shares many properties with the golden ratio. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,917 | Ancient Greek mathematicians first studied the golden ratio because of its frequent appearance in geometry; the division of a line into "extreme and mean ratio" (the golden section) is important in the geometry of regular pentagrams and pentagons. According to one story, 5th-century BC mathematician Hippasus discovered... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,918 | The golden ratio was studied peripherally over the next millennium. Abu Kamil (c. 850–930) employed it in his geometric calculations of pentagons and decagons; his writings influenced that of Fibonacci (Leonardo of Pisa) (c. 1170–1250), who used the ratio in related geometry problems but did not observe that it was con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,919 | Luca Pacioli named his book "Divina proportione" (1509) after the ratio; the book, largely plagiarized from Piero della Francesca, explored its properties including its appearance in some of the Platonic solids. Leonardo da Vinci, who illustrated Pacioli's book, called the ratio the "sectio aurea" ('golden section'). T... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,920 | German mathematician Simon Jacob (d. 1564) noted that consecutive Fibonacci numbers converge to the golden ratio; this was rediscovered by Johannes Kepler in 1608. The first known decimal approximation of the (inverse) golden ratio was stated as "about formula_18" in 1597 by Michael Maestlin of the University of Tübing... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,921 | 18th-century mathematicians Abraham de Moivre, Nicolaus I Bernoulli, and Leonhard Euler used a golden ratio-based formula which finds the value of a Fibonacci number based on its placement in the sequence; in 1843, this was rediscovered by Jacques Philippe Marie Binet, for whom it was named "Binet's formula". Martin Oh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,922 | By 1910, inventor Mark Barr began using the Greek letter Phi as a symbol for the golden ratio. It has also been represented by tau the first letter of the ancient Greek τομή ('cut' or 'section'). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,923 | The zome construction system, developed by Steve Baer in the late 1960s, is based on the symmetry system of the icosahedron/dodecahedron, and uses the golden ratio ubiquitously. Between 1973 and 1974, Roger Penrose developed Penrose tiling, a pattern related to the golden ratio both in the ratio of areas of its two rho... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,924 | If we call the whole formula_19 and the longer part formula_20 then the second statement above becomes | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,925 | To say that the golden ratio formula_6 is rational means that formula_6 is a fraction formula_23 where formula_19 and formula_25 are integers. We may take formula_23 to be in lowest terms and formula_19 and formula_25 to be positive. But if formula_23 is in lowest terms, then the equally valued formula_30 is in still l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,926 | Another short proof – perhaps more commonly known – of the irrationality of the golden ratio makes use of the closure of rational numbers under addition and multiplication. If formula_32 is rational, then formula_33 is also rational, which is a contradiction if it is already known that the square root of all non-square... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,927 | The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer. It has minimal polynomial | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,928 | which has roots formula_36 and formula_37 As the root of a quadratic polynomial, the golden ratio is a constructible number. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,929 | The absolute value of this quantity corresponds to the length ratio taken in reverse order (shorter segment length over longer segment length, formula_39). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,930 | The conjugate and the defining quadratic polynomial relationship lead to decimal values that have their fractional part in common with formula_6: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,931 | The sequence of powers of formula_6 contains these values formula_42 formula_43 formula_44 formula_45 more generally, | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,932 | As a result, one can easily decompose any power of formula_6 into a multiple of formula_6 and a constant. The multiple and the constant are always adjacent Fibonacci numbers. This leads to another property of the positive powers of formula_6: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,933 | The formula formula_51 can be expanded recursively to obtain a continued fraction for the golden ratio: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,934 | The convergents of these continued fractions formula_52 formula_52 formula_54 formula_55 formula_56 formula_57 ... or formula_58 formula_59 formula_60 formula_61 formula_62 are ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers. The consistently small terms in its continued fraction explain why the approximants converge so slowly.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,935 | This means that the constant formula_66 cannot be improved without excluding the golden ratio. It is, in fact, the smallest number that must be excluded to generate closer approximations of such Lagrange numbers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,936 | Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers have an intricate relationship with the golden ratio. In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two, starting with the base sequence formula_69: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,937 | The sequence of Lucas numbers (not to be confused with the generalized Lucas sequences, of which this is part) is like the Fibonacci sequence, in-which each term is the sum of the previous two, however instead starts with formula_70: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,938 | Exceptionally, the golden ratio is equal to the limit of the ratios of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence and sequence of Lucas numbers: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,939 | In other words, if a Fibonacci and Lucas number is divided by its immediate predecessor in the sequence, the quotient approximates formula_6. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,940 | These approximations are alternately lower and higher than formula_74 and converge to formula_6 as the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers increase. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,941 | Combining both formulas above, one obtains a formula for formula_76 that involves both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,942 | Between Fibonacci and Lucas numbers one can deduce formula_77 which simplifies to express the limit of the quotient of Lucas numbers by Fibonacci numbers as equal to the square root of five: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,943 | Consecutive Fibonacci numbers can also be used to obtain a similar formula for the golden ratio, here by infinite summation: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,944 | In particular, the powers of formula_6 themselves round to Lucas numbers (in order, except for the first two powers, formula_85 and formula_6, are in reverse order): | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,945 | Rooted in their interconnecting relationship with the golden ratio is the notion that the sum of "third" consecutive Fibonacci numbers equals a Lucas number, that is formula_88; and, importantly, that formula_89. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,946 | Both the Fibonacci sequence and the sequence of Lucas numbers can be used to generate approximate forms of the golden spiral (which is a special form of a logarithmic spiral) using quarter-circles with radii from these sequences, differing only slightly from the "true" golden logarithmic spiral. "Fibonacci spiral" is g... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,947 | The golden ratio features prominently in geometry. For example, it is intrinsically involved in the internal symmetry of the pentagon, and extends to form part of the coordinates of the vertices of a regular dodecahedron, as well as those of a 5-cell. It features in the Kepler triangle and Penrose tilings too, as well ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,948 | Application examples you can see in the articles Pentagon with a given side length, Decagon with given circumcircle and Decagon with a given side length. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,949 | Both of the above displayed different algorithms produce geometric constructions that determine two aligned line segments where the ratio of the longer one to the shorter one is the golden ratio. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,950 | When two angles that make a full circle have measures in the golden ratio, the smaller is called the "golden angle", with measure formula_123 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,951 | This angle occurs in patterns of plant growth as the optimal spacing of leaf shoots around plant stems so that successive leaves do not block sunlight from the leaves below them. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,952 | Logarithmic spirals are self-similar spirals where distances covered per turn are in geometric progression. Importantly, isosceles golden triangles can be encased by a golden logarithmic spiral, such that successive turns of a spiral generate new golden triangles inside. This special case of logarithmic spirals is call... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,953 | Golden spirals can be symmetrically placed inside pentagons and pentagrams as well, such that fractal copies of the underlying geometry are reproduced at all scales. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,954 | George Odom found a construction for formula_6 involving an equilateral triangle: if an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle and the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides is produced to intersect the circle in either of two points, then these three points are in golden proportion. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,955 | The "Kepler triangle", named after Johannes Kepler, is the unique right triangle with sides in geometric progression: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,956 | The Kepler triangle can also be understood as the right triangle formed by three squares whose areas are also in golden geometric progression formula_135. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,957 | Fittingly, the Pythagorean means for formula_136 are precisely formula_137, formula_6, and formula_139. It is from these ratios that we are able to geometrically express the fundamental defining quadratic polynomial for formula_6 with the Pythagorean theorem; that is, formula_7. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,958 | The inradius of an isosceles triangle is greatest when the triangle is composed of two mirror Kepler triangles, such that their bases lie on the same line. Also, the isosceles triangle of given perimeter with the largest possible semicircle is one from two mirrored Kepler triangles. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,959 | A "golden triangle" is characterized as an isosceles formula_143 with the property that bisecting the angle formula_144 produces new acute and obtuse isosceles triangles formula_145 and formula_146 that are similar to the original, as well as in leg to base length ratios of formula_147 and formula_148, respectively. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,960 | The acute isosceles triangle is sometimes called a "sublime triangle", and the ratio of its base to its equal-length sides is formula_6. Its apex angle formula_150 is equal to: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,961 | Both base angles of the isosceles golden triangle equal formula_151 degrees each, since the sum of the angles of a triangle must equal formula_152 degrees. It is the only triangle to have its three angles in formula_153 ratio. A regular pentagram contains five acute sublime triangles, and a regular decagon contains ten... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,962 | The obtuse isosceles triangle is sometimes called a "golden gnomon", and the ratio of its base to its other sides is the reciprocal of the golden ratio, formula_154. The measure of its apex angle formula_155 is: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,963 | Its two base angles equal formula_156 each. It is the only triangle whose internal angles are in formula_157 ratio. Its base angles, being equal to formula_156, are the same measure as that of the acute golden triangle's apex angle. Five golden gnomons can be created from adjacent sides of a pentagon whose non-coincide... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,964 | Appropriately, the ratio of the area of the obtuse golden gnomon to that of the acute sublime triangle is in formula_159 golden ratio. Bisecting a base angle inside a sublime triangle produces a golden gnomon, and another a sublime triangle. Bisecting the apex angle of a golden gnomon in formula_160 ratio produces two ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,965 | The golden ratio proportions the adjacent side lengths of a "golden rectangle" in formula_159 ratio. Stacking golden rectangles produces golden rectangles anew, and removing or adding squares from golden rectangles leaves rectangles still proportioned in formula_6 ratio. They can be generated by "golden spirals", throu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,966 | A "golden rhombus" is a rhombus whose diagonals are in proportion to the golden ratio, most commonly formula_159. For a rhombus of such proportions, its acute angle and obtuse angles are: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,967 | The lengths of its short and long diagonals formula_164 and formula_165, in terms of side length formula_2 are: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,968 | These geometric values can be calculated from their Cartesian coordinates, which also can be given using formulas involving formula_6. The coordinates of the dodecahedron are displayed on the figure above, while those of the icosahedron are the cyclic permutations of: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,969 | Sets of three golden rectangles intersect perpendicularly inside dodecahedra and icosahedra, forming Borromean rings. In dodecahedra, pairs of opposing vertices in golden rectangles meet the centers of pentagonal faces, and in icosahedra, they meet at its vertices. In all, the three golden rectangles contain formula_17... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,970 | A cube can be inscribed in a regular dodecahedron, with some of the diagonals of the pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron serving as the cube's edges; therefore, the edge lengths are in the golden ratio. The cube's volume is formula_174 times that of the dodecahedron's. In fact, golden rectangles inside a dodecahedron ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,971 | Other polyhedra are related to the dodecahedron and icosahedron or their symmetries, and therefore have corresponding relations to the golden ratio. These include the compound of five cubes, compound of five octahedra, compound of five tetrahedra, the compound of ten tetrahedra, rhombic triacontahedron, icosidodecahedr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,972 | The golden ratio's "decimal expansion" can be calculated via root-finding methods, such as Newton's method or Halley's method, on the equation formula_178 or on formula_179 (to compute formula_66 first). The time needed to compute formula_19 digits of the golden ratio using Newton's method is essentially formula_182, w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,973 | The golden ratio and inverse golden ratio formula_192 have a set of symmetries that preserve and interrelate them. They are both preserved by the fractional linear transformations formula_193 – this fact corresponds to the identity and the definition quadratic equation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,974 | Further, they are interchanged by the three maps formula_194 – they are reciprocals, symmetric about formula_195 and (projectively) symmetric about formula_196 More deeply, these maps form a subgroup of the modular group formula_197 isomorphic to the symmetric group on formula_198 letters, formula_199 corresponding to ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,975 | In the complex plane, the fifth roots of unity formula_208 (for an integer formula_209) satisfying formula_210 are the vertices of a pentagon. They do not form a ring of quadratic integers, however the sum of any fifth root of unity and its complex conjugate, formula_211 "is" a quadratic integer, an element of formula_... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,976 | For the gamma function formula_214, the only solutions to the equation formula_215 are formula_216 and formula_217. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,977 | When the golden ratio is used as the base of a numeral system (see golden ratio base, sometimes dubbed "phinary" or formula_6"-nary"), quadratic integers in the ring formula_219 – that is, numbers of the form formula_220 for formula_221 – have terminating representations, but rational fractions have non-terminating rep... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,978 | The golden ratio also appears in hyperbolic geometry, as the maximum distance from a point on one side of an ideal triangle to the closer of the other two sides: this distance, the side length of the equilateral triangle formed by the points of tangency of a circle inscribed within the ideal triangle, is formula_222 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,979 | where formula_224 and formula_225 in the continued fraction should be evaluated as formula_226.

9,980 | The Swiss architect Le Corbusier, famous for his contributions to the modern international style, centered his design philosophy on systems of harmony and proportion. Le Corbusier's faith in the mathematical order of the universe was closely bound to the golden ratio and the Fibonacci series, which he described as "rhy... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,981 | Le Corbusier explicitly used the golden ratio in his Modulor system for the scale of architectural proportion.

9,982 | In addition to the golden ratio, Le Corbusier based the system on human measurements, Fibonacci numbers, and the double unit. He took suggestion of the golden ratio in human proportions to an extreme: he sectioned his model human body's height at the navel with the two sections in golden ratio, then subdivided those se... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,983 | Another Swiss architect, Mario Botta, bases many of his designs on geometric figures. Several private houses he designed in Switzerland are composed of squares and circles, cubes and cylinders. In a house he designed in Origlio, the golden ratio is the proportion between the central section and the side sections of the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,984 | Leonardo da Vinci's illustrations of polyhedra in Pacioli's "Divina proportione" have led some to speculate that he incorporated the golden ratio in his paintings. But the suggestion that his "Mona Lisa", for example, employs golden ratio proportions, is not supported by Leonardo's own writings. Similarly, although Leo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,985 | Salvador Dalí, influenced by the works of Matila Ghyka, explicitly used the golden ratio in his masterpiece, "The Sacrament of the Last Supper".

9,986 | A statistical study on 565 works of art of different great painters, performed in 1999, found that these artists had not used the golden ratio in the size of their canvases. The study concluded that the average ratio of the two sides of the paintings studied is formula_232 with averages for individual artists ranging f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,987 | There was a time when deviations from the truly beautiful page proportions formula_240 formula_241 and the Golden Section were rare. Many books produced between 1550 and 1770 show these proportions exactly, to within half a millimeter. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,988 | According to some sources, the golden ratio is used in everyday design, for example in the proportions of playing cards, postcards, posters, light switch plates, and widescreen televisions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |

9,990 | Ernő Lendvai analyzes Béla Bartók's works as being based on two opposing systems, that of the golden ratio and the acoustic scale, though other music scholars reject that analysis. French composer Erik Satie used the golden ratio in several of his pieces, including "Sonneries de la Rose+Croix". The golden ratio is also... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,991 | The musicologist Roy Howat has observed that the formal boundaries of Debussy's "La Mer" correspond exactly to the golden section. Trezise finds the intrinsic evidence "remarkable", but cautions that no written or reported evidence suggests that Debussy consciously sought such proportions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,992 | Music theorists including Hans Zender and Heinz Bohlen have experimented with the 833 cents scale, a musical scale based on using the golden ratio as its fundamental musical interval. When measured in cents, a logarithmic scale for musical intervals, the golden ratio is approximately 833.09 cents. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,993 | Johannes Kepler wrote that "the image of man and woman stems from the divine proportion. In my opinion, the propagation of plants and the progenitive acts of animals are in the same ratio". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,994 | The psychologist Adolf Zeising noted that the golden ratio appeared in phyllotaxis and argued from these patterns in nature that the golden ratio was a universal law. Zeising wrote in 1854 of a universal orthogenetic law of "striving for beauty and completeness in the realms of both nature and art". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,995 | However, some have argued that many apparent manifestations of the golden ratio in nature, especially in regard to animal dimensions, are fictitious. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,996 | The quasi-one-dimensional Ising ferromagnet CoNbO (cobalt niobate) has 8 predicted excitation states (with E symmetry), that when probed with neutron scattering, showed its lowest two were in golden ratio. Specifically, these quantum phase transitions during spin excitation, which occur at near absolute zero temperatur... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,997 | There is no known general algorithm to arrange a given number of nodes evenly on a sphere, for any of several definitions of even distribution (see, for example, "Thomson problem" or "Tammes problem"). However, a useful approximation results from dividing the sphere into parallel bands of equal surface area and placing... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,998 | The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu) has been analyzed by pyramidologists as having a doubled Kepler triangle as its cross-section. If this theory were true, the golden ratio would describe the ratio of distances from the midpoint of one of the sides of the pyramid to its apex, and f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
9,999 | The Parthenon's façade (c. 432 BC) as well as elements of its façade and elsewhere are said by some to be circumscribed by golden rectangles. Other scholars deny that the Greeks had any aesthetic association with golden ratio. For example, Keith Devlin says, "Certainly, the oft repeated assertion that the Parthenon in ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12386 |
