Jan 13, 2011 - @greyonednb Fibonaci sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 (adding 1 and 1 equals 2, then 2 and 3 equals 5, and so on) Dividing two numbers of the sequence that are right next to each other equals close to phi, and the higher the numbers of the sequence, the closer you get to actual phi. 13/8=1.625....groovy stuff.

Jan 18, 2011 - Very nice video!! Even at the quantum level of the atoms we have phi, the energy level of a quantum vector is linked to the energy level of the two previous quantum vectors. This could be the reason why we are seeing phi everywhere in nature.

Feb 10, 2011 - @greyonednb all irrational numbers can be approached by a sequence. The Fibonacci sequence converges to phi. Carry on the fibonacci sequence to 50 terms and divide the 50th number by the 49th number - you get something close to phi. Phi is unique that the ratio sequence that defines it approaches the irrational number in the SLOWEST way compared to all other irrational numbers. For that reason, it is the most irrational of irrational numbers. - source: I listened to a Mario Livio lecture

Mar 12, 2011 - @greyonednb you divide each number by the last one for instance: 5 divided by three, 13 divided by 8. the higher you get, the closer the number will get to phi.

Mar 15, 2011 - I'm sure greyonednb likes getting another answer to his question in his inbox every week or 2 even 2 years after he originally posted the question.

Apr 15, 2011 - the resistors? running them in series follows the phi?

Jun 20, 2011 - Neat video! I am an artist on YouTube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time Could the Fibonacci numbers and Fractals be formed by the repetition of time forming the geometry of spacetime? This theory is based on just two simple postulates 1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function represents the forward passage of time itself 2. The second is that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is the same uncertainty we have with any future event

Oct 26, 2010 - Wow, that's a lot of decimals into Phi... That makes this video completely worth watching. 2 thumbs up!.. I can only do one... Sorry. Thanks for the upload, especially for those who weren't familiar with this before.
