Does the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence really rule nature? ✨ This episode was supported by Nebula! Join now to watch this video ad free, and support indy creators like me: nebula.tv/videos/uno-dos-of-trace-yt-the-myth-of-the-golden-ratio-in-nature

The #GoldenRatio is so famous that it’s borderline ethereal! If you only read the internet then you'd expect all sunflowers, nautilus shells and ancient buildings would fit with the golden spiral, but out in the world... they don't! The #Fibonacci Sequence has been used by authors and filmmakers as nature’s secret code, but it ain’t! Designers and photographers love the golden spiral, architects adore it, and though Phi is absolutely a useful and wonderful irrational number in mathematics, you’d be amazed to find it’s actually NOT a mystical rule that nature follows.
What is this golden ratio REALLY? Correlation, not causation.
Quick note: My goal in every #UnoDosofTrace video is to make you *feel* something, *think* something, or *talk to a friend* about what you learned. If any of those apply to you, please consider subscribing to the channel, or sharing the video with your friends on social media! A few seconds of effort on your end really goes a long way, and thanks for even reading this paragraph, it means a lot. 💕

Nautlius had an amazing write up on this exact same topic

The PLoS One study where they looked at the sunflowers using open science initiative isn’t just great because it was the inspiration for this story, but it’s also a great example of how science can be accomplished with the partnership of citizen scientists and professional researchers! Yay!

~~~~~ 🐣 EASTER EGGS FOR READERS 🐣 ~~~~~
P.S — Obviously I’m not a mathematician, I just do science communication so I can’t describe all the ways ɸ is amazing for math (which I am sure there are numerous). If you know a few, why not school us in the comments? These videos aren’t meant to be “everything you need to know” more an exploration of curiosity and where it can take you/challenge you!
Love you all fam! #LetsBeCurious!
