This is all extremely interesting information, and would easily make for good 'table talk' after dinner. [righton]

How to create your perfect world... and other stuff.
Mark,
Thanks for that. It's an interesting compendium of the mathematical roots of reality with a couple of brand new original additions such as the PhiBar. Then if you keep exploring deeper and deeper into the site you find that there is, at the root a very interesting 'rational look at God.' Worthwhile stuff!

I use it a lot in my works. A few great things that many people ignore are the fact that in the mineral kingdom, pentangles don't exist as they are scientifically impossible. Yet in plants and animals, five is a very important number. The quint-essence so to speak. Now the relationship between the root five and Phi is very close. It's a fascinating number for calculations like: 1/Phi=1+Phi and Root5=Phi+1/Phi. Also geometrically it is very fascinating.
Yet Vitruvius was simplifying things when he wrote that greek architecture is based on Phi. It is, but it's not the whole thruth as dynamic symmetry (root rectangles) are perhaps even more important.
Fascinating site. Will keep me "calm" for hours as this is one of my favourite topics. Math meets Life.
Don't I sense the wings of that butterfly down in the Amazonian Rainforest?
Thanks for this link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother nature is the most perfect mathemathician that will ever exist, and the more humankind unbalance its perfect equation, the bigger the ruin will be.... [upset]
There are endless facts that prove that nature is the most pure form of mathmatics such as fractals, physics laws, etc...
Even the bees know about that...
There are even some religions and cults that believe that god is a mathematical formula... [shhh]
ps:Great link Mark thanks for sharing it... [righton] [righton] [righton]

What was/is that movie about Stroker? Sounds interesting.
Don't worry Tak, mother nature is more than capable of 'balancing' the equation. She's been doing it for millions of years before us, and she'll be doing it millions of years after we're all "dust in the wind". (Moody Blues)

Pi is about a mathemagician savant of sorts. He can do massive number crunching in his head. Although, he is perfectly functional unlike an idiot savant.
He's doing research on statistics using the the stock market. He's trying to find a pattern in the seemingly random numbers in hopes of being able to predict the chaos.
One day, something happens, and he can see the pattern of the universe itself. Suddenly he can predict things using a unviversal equation - even things that are seemingly random.
People are out to get him and he has an interesting conversation with a Rabbi.
Been awhile since I've seen it, so I might be off on a few things.
Either way, it is a good flick. It will make you think about a few things.
