Numerology | the Fibonacci sequence, Golden Ratio & Fractals

Did you know numerology and science intersect? You may have heard about fractals, the Fibonacci sequence, and the Golden Ratio. But how are they related? And what can they tell us about the patterns we find in nature? We look at these questions in this video for numerology science.

In this video we explore 3 beautiful and mysterious mathematical phenomena and the intersection between numerology and science:

1. The Fibonacci sequence

If you start with the numbers 0 and 1, and add each new number to the one before it, you get a list that looks like this:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811… and it goes on forever.

This might look like a random list of numbers, but it’s not. This sequence appears everywhere in nature, and it happens so unexpectedly, and so often that there’s even a scientific journal dedicated to studying it.

2. The Golden Ratio

If you divide nearly any Fibonacci number by the one before it in the sequence, you get a number that approaches 1.618033988… and it goes on forever. The Ancient Greeks called this number “Phi” but it’s more widely known as the “Golden Ratio.” And much like the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio also appears everywhere all around us.

3. Fractals

Mathematician Benoit Mandlebrot came up with a simple equation. If you follow his formula, it can produce beautiful images where you can zoom into any small part of the image and find that it resembles the whole. Much like the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Golden Ratio, we also see Fractals everywhere and all around us. Let's explore numerology and science.
