In mathematics there’s this ratio called the “golden ratio” and
it kind of works like this. If the lengths of the sides of a
rectangle are in the golden ratio, then the rectangle is a
“golden rectangle.” It’s possible to divide a golden rectangle
into a square and another golden rectangle. If you draw a curve
between the diagonals of all the squares you get what’s called a
logarithmic spiral in which you can see “The Eye of God”. Crazy
mathematicians. Not just for mathematicians, artists get in on
the act However, and here’s where it gets really interesting,
the golden ratio isn’t just a geometrical fascination. Since the
Renaissance, many artists have used these proportions in their
work. They believed (and many still do) that the aesthetics of
the dimensional relationships were linked to natural dimensions
which we see in the world around us. Golden ratio in nature You
can also see this “logarithmic spiral” in seashells, animal
horns and the cochlea of the ear. It’s nature’s design. From
