Hello, today we will talk about global things that at first glance may seem rather absurd. These are Fibonacci numbers. Now I will tell you what they are and how they directly affect your life.
When I first learned about the Fibonacci sequence, I fell into a stupor for a second and almost believed in numerology. But, to hell with esotericism, only science, baby. Turn on your brains and buckle up. Now it will be very interesting.
History
For a start, who is this Fibonacci. Leonardo of Pisa, no less, one of the first famous mathematicians of medieval Europe. Lived between 1170 and 1250 in Pisa, Italy. In his youth, he and his father represented a trading colony in Algeria. It was there that Leonardo got acquainted with mathematics, which was taught to him by Arab teachers. Carried away by the study of arithmetic and geometry, he collected and analyzed all available mathematical knowledge, most of which was acquired by the Arabs in India. In 1200 he published his main scientific work - "The Book of the Abacus", where he popularly explains the eastern system of calculation. Indeed, his teachings became the starting point for Europe's transition to Arabic numerals. But that's not what we are interested in. In the same book, an ancient Indian sequence was described,
Subsequence
The sequence itself looks pretty simple and there is nothing magical at first glance. The first three digits are 0, 1, 1. Each subsequent digit is the sum of the previous two.
The total is this kind of thing: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, etc.
Now we need to learn a few more points so that we can move on to the sweetest. There is such a thing as the "golden ratio". This is the figure that is obtained by dividing each number from the sequence by the previous ones. We don't look at the first 7 digits, they get different values. But starting from 21/13, we always get approximately the same number - 1.618.
And just one more moment. Take a look at these geometric shapes. They are based on the Fibonacci sequence. Each side of the square is a number from the sequence, and if the sides of the square forming the corner are connected in a semicircle, you get a kind of spiral.
The basis of everything
And now, having mastered all the previous knowledge, let's look around and analyze the world around us.
First, take a look at yourself in the mirror. The male body is built according to the proportion 13/8 = 1.625, and the female 8/5 = 1.6. These are the proportions of the phalanx of the fingers, limbs, the location of the eyes, and so on. In one way or another, everything fits into this sequence and approaches the "Golden Section". Here's a little spoiler.
In the most beautiful people, the proportions of body parts form just the same "golden ratio".
And this happens not only with the human body. Absolutely everything in our Universe is built on the basis of this magic proportion. Snails, flowers and even Galaxies.
Application
People quickly figured out what the trick was and began to use Fibonacci numbers wherever possible. In the beginning in art. Leonardo da Vinci painted most of his paintings just in these proportions. The best works of architecture, sculpture and other geometric shapes are all based on Fibo.
And all because it is this proportion that pleases the human eye most of all. And it is the "golden ratio" that determines the ratio of everything in the Universe. Why is that? Fuck knows. After such information, you involuntarily begin to believe in God and a global plan. Everything cannot be so rational.
The golden ratio is applicable even in trading. Traders use the so-called Fibonacci levels and when the price of an asset approaches the golden ratio, it is most sensitive to global changes.
How to live with all of this now? I don't know myself. I would only advise you to study this topic in more detail. Perhaps it will come in handy. That's all for me. If you go more posts of this kind, write in the comments.
