Geometry in nature #2: Golden Ratio, Fibonacci and spirals

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

Mathematics and geometry is a universal language with which we can describe nature phenomena. Plants and animals are built from the regular patterns of nature. If not so, it would be chaos, and many living creatures would be unviable. The geometry is encoded in the genes. DNA chains project a kind of hologram, into which the living creature grows in. If the DNA is damaged (for example by radiation), the geometry will be distorted. Just think about four-leaves clover, which is abnormal.

I made a selection of my original photos, which are good examples to geometry. The second series is about Golden Ratio, Fibonacci and spirals.

  • What is Golden Ratio?
    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. The figure illustrates the geometric relationship.

  • What is Fibonacci-series?
    In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, and characterized by the fact that every number after the first two is the sum of the two preceding ones:
    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...

Beautiful post indeed. I have been fascinated with the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence for a long time.

If I may, I'd like to share a beautiful video of this very topic, which goes into great details about both. I recommend anyone to watch it if interested in this two topics. Here: Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds - The Spiral

Thank you for the beautiful post @kalemandra. Upvoted and followed. Looking forward to see more posts from you. :)

Thank you for this inspirational video! I'll watch it soon, if I have time.
Have a wonderful day! Greetings: @kalemandra

Wonderful photography of all flowers as all flowers look so beautiful. From photos its look you taken with very high resolution camera because its look like in front of us. I just little week in geometry. I like the 6th flower from bottom image and its look so pinky and beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful day. Namaste

Thanks for your kind words! These photos were taken with my Samsung mobile phone, which has a really good camera. These are about 1-year-old pictures.
Namaste! @kalemandra

Wow then its really good photography with mobile. Hats off you to you and your work. Best of luck for ahead friend.

You inspire with your post and initiatives, Thank you- i made something for colorchallenge maybe it can be useful.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment and resteem.

Amazing - how wonderful is God's creation

God is everywhere, in everything, and we are in God also.
"As above, so bellow..."

Yes, and we humans are of the same beauty and perfection, unfortunately our mind doesn't get it and is always seeking to ridicule and destroy the beauty in creation.. Time to wake up from this dream that we are somewhat less or are here to destroy us or our planet...

Destruction is much easier and fast than building up a structure. Yes, we are responsible for our Mother Earth, our biosphere, our Home.

Beautiful photo's. Mathematics is amazing in nature, in music.

Thank you! Yes, music is also good example for math. Many mathematicians are good at music as well.

Yes, that is so true @kalemandra

Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Thanks, too!

Awesome post! It's amazing to see math in nature and not just on paper.

Thoug math is an abstract language, it has strong relationship with nature and art.
