The golden ratio of the universe maintains the cosmic order

The ‘golden ratio’, a cosmic constant famously found in the spirals of hurricanes, the curves of elephant tusks and even the structure of galaxies, has now been observed to influence the topology of space-time itself. Researchers suggest that this mathematical relationship could serve as a unifying principle, connecting phenomena across the universe – from space-time to chemistry and biology. An article in Scientific American highlights this groundbreaking discovery, revealing that fractal patterns and the golden ratio have been detected in space for the first time. Scientists at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa have studied a unique type of star known…
