1.618 is also called the
Golden Section Ratio or divine proportion and denotes harmony, balance and
perfection. Scientists have recognised that this number 1.618 is the key
to natural form and growth. It is known as the number of the universe as
it appears naturally in humans, animals and plants. Artists have used it
to bring harmony to their compositions and it is used in classical
architecture to give symmetry. It is found in all aspects of nature and in
the human body. Leonardo da Vinci used his drawing of the Human Body to
raise our consciousness of this ratio. Pythagoras promoted it to mean
‘unity with the universe.’ |
