The Number Phi - The Perfect Body Ratio

Hi Everyone,

Dr. Gillespie was mentioning the "Golden Ratio" in class - I looked it up, and it is called Phi and can be found in art, nature, architecture, etc. This ratio is constantly found in the human body, and applies to the "ideal human form" - I posted a link to a YouTube video that introduces the number, how it is derived mathematically (it's actually quite simple) and also shows just how frequent it is found in our own body - it pretty much creates our body! - all the way down to DNA! I think it's really cool, and may apply to the beauty standard discussed in "Fair Enough" :)
