The Golden Ratio is a mathematical construct that has been observed all throughout nature, architecture, and art. And some think it's a universal constant, and divine. But... is it? Or are we only seeing what we want to see?

Hi Joe. I am an artist and illustrator. I do this for over 40 years now. Me and my colleagues always joked about this - because we know how many classical artists just create, out of their stomache so to say, and then critics or art-sellers come up with weird explanation about why which color was used and why that perspective and yes, always looking for the Golden Ratio to explain things even the artist did not know. It's ridiculous. But obviously overexplaining things helps sell them.

My wife and I really have noticed that as we started to have kids. When she was pregnant we noticed everyone who was pregnant. When we needed to buy a stroller we noticed every single one in the street.

Joe's gone so crazy he's talking to himself _and_ arguing back.

Immediately after Joe says "There's nothing Woo Woo about it" two kids playing outside my window started shouting "woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!" That freaked me out a bit.

Fibonacci’s name was Leonardo Bonacci. Fibonacci is short for filius Bonacci ('son of Bonacci'). The other name “Leonardo Bigollo Pisano” means “Leonardo the Traveller from Pisa.”

I see what you did there Joe. Starting your intro at exactly 1.618 minutes into this video. Sly dog!

I'm British, my other half is from IN. We've never had an argument like the opening of this video because our language barrier is too great to allow for that kind of coherence.

I love your humour, personality and content. It's baffling that you can produce them weekly with so much research involved. Thank you.

I never know if a guy is British unless he has a Union Jack on his suit and is holding a cup marked "Tea."

[tristanlee]

You should bring that British guy on as a consultant, he's genius.
