Golden Ratio = Mind Blown!

This video provides a basic explanation of the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence in an easy, enthusiastic, and accessible manner. Examples illustrate how the Golden Ratio appears in nature and in human design through historic art and architecture and in contemporary designs and branding.

I will look forward to the day when I can be as happy as this lady. The video just made me happy. I am now I.6 times more happier

Been an architect for 35 years and use the golden ratio for laying out the building design. In fact, I use it for everything. Works every time it's used!

Retired math teacher here. I would’ve so loved to have shown your video to my honors seventh grade students. I spent an enrichment day on the golden ratio. I did not know about ocean waves and tornadoes. Loved, loved your enthusiasm.

I’ve been familiar with the golden for many years but I’ve never seen anyone explain it with such passion & enthusiasm. This video is golden. Well done!

[laurenjones]

She’s my professor and I actually love her so much. Yes, she’s this excited about everything. It’s great :)

[mountainguru]

This young lady is an amazing teacher ! Her excitement gets me excited !

I like how invested and happy to talk about this she is

I’ve been into the golden ratio and Fibonacci and I still am blown away that it’s not more popular and spoken about. It truly is the geometry of the universe.

I love your enthusiasm for my favorite subject! The best part is the Biblical reference to the Ark of the Covenant and The Temple! Giving glory to Our Creator as you overflow with joy is a beautiful gift to the world!

I've been a carpenter, cabinet maker for 50years. Many years ago I learned about the golden ratio, it was an excellent way of making anything look correct. And you can find it with out math!

From the Introduction of the book "Liber Abaci" written by Fibannacci himself:

1) "I am the son of an official working in Bugia, Algeria". 2) There was a colony of Indian Merchants in that city. 3) "It was there that I was introduced to Indian Mathematics".

Fibonacci further says- " I loved Indian Mathematics to such an extent above all others that I completely devoted myself to it" "I was also introduced to Greek, Arabic & Egyptian Math" "But I found ALL of them, EVEN Pythagoras, to be erroneous compared to Indian Mathematics"

Fibonacci further says: "For this reason, basing my book COMPLETELY on Indian methods and applying myself with greatest attention to it, but not without adding something of my own thought, I forced myself to compose this book. I demonstrated everything with proof"

Finally, Fibonacci says: " In my book, I have published the doctrine of Mathematics completely according to the Method of Indians. I have COMPLETELY adopted the (Mathematical) Method of Indians because it is the MOST effective"

In his book, Fibonacci does NOT refer to #Fibonacci Series as "Fibonacci Series" Rather, he simply calls it "Indian Series". Unlike many other Europeans, Fibonacci was NOT a plagiarist. He clearly mentioned his source and acknowledged his credit to ancient Indians.

This video has unlocked my golden ratio potential for seeing, mapping and identifying everything that is aesthetically harmonious with nature. It’s mind blowing to understand that nature is an actual formula to appreciate but on another level. Great video!

A Diamond Girl on Golden Ratio. Contagious with her enthusiasm and happiness. Every school going student and for every life loving person a MUST Watch, Thank you!!!

[robnielmanalo]

THE MOST EXCITED GIRL I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. ALL CAPS.

[huzaifafarrukh]

I love her energy. We need teachers like her

[martinsantos]

As an architect and designer I used this principle. What I conclude for this is the Universe has a Creator. BTW, I like the way she informed us, she's very passionate.

[tobystevens]

Most good designers and artists purposely use this ratio all over in their work, but in spite of that, in my own experience with art composition, this ratio seems to be hard-wired into our DNA. In other words, this ratio just naturally shows up everywhere in art and design, whether intentionally or not.

Awesome video. Thank you!

[vladimirstephenjackson]

Her enthusiasm for the topic is delightful.

Speaking of a symPHOny the golden ratio in the musical scale is the Perfect 5th. We even say Phi in Five like Phive. 1plus the square root of 5 over 2. The significance of this is the fact that the dominant note of the whole scale is the Perfect 5th. It's the second most stable next to the root. This is why we call it a Power Chord. Every single chord contains the the root and 5th it's the basis of every chord except diminished chords. In western music, which is mostly written in Major, we omit the 7th scale degree as a chord because it's diminished and contains the tritone which is also known as the Devils interval. It's the same numbers in the number of spirals in pine cones and pineapples. It's even why we called them Adam and Eve for A-E or the symbol Æ but that's another long story. Let's just say it's the evidence for creation. God.

I’ve had the gist of The Golden Ration but I have a much better grasp and understanding based on how well this is explained. Thanks for making it so simple.
