The golden ratio (symbol is the Greek letter "phi") is a special number approximately equal to 1.618
It appears many times in geometry, art, architecture and other areas.
The Idea Behind It:
If you divide a line into two parts so that:
the longer part divided by the smaller part
is also equal to
the whole length divided by the longer part
then you will have the golden ratio.
"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."
~ Aristotle (Parts of Animals Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC))
Aristotle is properly recognized as the originator of the scientific study of life. This is true despite the fact that many earlier Greek natural philosophers occasionally speculated on the origins of living things and much of the Hippocratic medical corpus, which was written before or during Aristotle's lifetime, displays a serious interest in human anatomy, physiology and pathology. Even Plato has Timaeus devote a considerable part of his speech to the human body and its functions (and malfunctions). Nevertheless, before Aristotle, only a few of the Hippocratic treatises are both systematic and empirical, and their focus is exclusively on human health and disease. By contrast, Aristotle considered the investigation of living things, and especially animals, central to the theoretical study of nature. Constituting roughly 25% of the extant corpus, his zoological writings provide a theoretical defense of the proper method for biological investigation; and they provide a record of the first systematic and comprehensive study of animals. There was nothing of similar scope and sophistication again until the 16th century. In the nineteenth century the great anatomist Richard Owen introduced a two lecture survey of Aristotle's zoological studies by declaring that “Zoological Science sprang from his (Aristotle's) labours, we may almost say, like Minerva from the Head of Jove, in a state of noble and splendid maturity” (Owen 1992, 91).
