Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Can the universe be explained by the golden ratio? | Decoded” – below is their description.
Have you ever noticed similarities between the movement of stars, specks of dust and flocks of birds? Do you pause to consider how mosaics in mosques are similar to honeycombs built by bees?
If you’re paying close attention, you will notice a pattern that seems to govern natural phenomena and beautiful works of art.
For centuries, ancient thinkers have called it the Golden Ratio or the Divine Proportion.
But why is this irrational sequence of numbers so prevalent in our universe? And can this ‘cosmic constant’ predict our behavior?
In this episode, adapted from the award-winning Arabic series Dahaleez, Egyptian-born actor Amr Waked journeys from the galactic to the atomic to try to answer one of the oldest, and most persistent, philosophical questions.
