The Golden Ratio is a number that in theory describes the dimensions of every natural made object. Which happens to be 1.62. It's the ration that falls in line with the Fibonacci Set. Which is the most commonly used fractal set in the natural world. The next number in the set is always the addition of the prior two numbers. 1 2 3 5 8 11 19 30 ect... Graph it, you get a logarithmic spiral that is of the Golden Ratio.

I see what you mean, but a couple of these measurements seem a bit arbitrary.

Given how frequently nature produces it, it sure has practical advantages. It's not strange we find things that follow that ratio more aesthetically pleasant.

@BabblingBrooke

It's around 1.618033987. An irrational number, like Pi.

(1+sqrt(5))/2

@915 She's not the only one with this scheme. Most of them share the same proportions.

This really does explain a lot.
