In the book The Da Vinci Code, the protagonist talked in depth about PHI (pronounced fee), or the Divine Proportion. PHI is special because of its ubiquity in nature:
- the ratio of female to male bees in a bee colony
- the proportions of the human skeleton in Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, e.g. the ratio of your height from head-to-floor to the height from your navel-to-floor.
- how the quotients of adjacent numbers in Fibonacci sequence converge to 1.618
- how the lines in a pentagram will intersect to make one part 1.618 times the other
