"The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer," said Fridjof Nansen, the 1922 Nobel Peace Prize winner who personally organized the repatriation of more than four hundred thousand prisoners of war after World War I and helped save millions of Russians from starvation.

Fibonacci Numbers
Here is a taste:
Now, it is your job to find out more and share in a post.
I found out that the Fibonacci numbers can not only occur in scenery but also in space. Like the milky way. Also I found out that the Fibonacci sequance can also occur in animal skins, animal claws, and even in fingerprints.
What I found out is that the golden spiral is in Saturn's rings. Also in DNA the DNA is always a golden rectangle so I have a theory that since the DNA is built with the golden spiral it will continue to show pieces of the spiral as it continues to grow because the spiral is now so heavily bonded with the DNA that it suppresses a change into the fundamentals of the DNA. Also the universe is considered infinite although we don't know if that is actually true but apparently that no matter what the universe's stars and planets and galaxies are most apparent in a spiral, So if I look at the entire universe there will be a single spiral and when the universe expands so does the spiral! The exact spiral found in nature. The golden spiral.
I found it interesting how Fibonacci connected his numbers to Bunny's lives. Female bunnies start producing at 2 months. They produce a pair each month.
At the end of the first month, they mate, but there is still one only 1 pair. At the end of the second month the female produces a new pair, so now there are 2 pairs of rabbits in the field. At the end of the third month, the original female produces a second pair, making 3 pairs in all in the field. At the end of the fourth month, the original female has produced yet another new pair, the female born two months ago produces her first pair also, making 5 pairs. The Pattern keeps going. Check out the website and see the diagram. http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibnat.html#Rabbits
I found out that 1. The Nautilus Shell is the most well known example of the golden spiral 2. The golden spiral can also be found in artichoke flowers 3. Other than the golden spiral there is a golden ratio, golden angle and of course the golden rectangle.
I found out that in the Fibonacci sequence the numbers go odd, odd, even, odd, odd, even ect.
ReplyDelete1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 ect.
i found out that the golden rectangle is in almost every building and that and the branches of flowers are fibonacci numbered
ReplyDeleteI found that fibonacci numbers show up in fruits like three parts of a bannana and five in a apple!
ReplyDeleteGoing up the pinecones leaves clockwise, there are 8 leaves. going down the pinecones leaces counterclockewise there are 13 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13.
ReplyDeleteThe golden rectangle is very intresting!I have to study Fibonacci more.
ReplyDeleteFibonacci comes from the bonacci family
ReplyDeleteOh really? I didn't know that

1.The Fibonacci numbers can be ginormous,the hundreth number is 354224848179261915075!
ReplyDelete2.Golden Spirals occur in famous and easily reconizable things! The Milky Way,Mona Lisa and shells are a few.
3.Fibonacci live 80 years,a very impressive life during his time!

i found out that the fibonacci spiral kind of appears on my finger print lol
ReplyDeleteIf you look very closely at the sunflower seeds, it somewhat resembles the petals of the trillium.
ReplyDeleteI found out that if you number a plants leaves and then circle through them it creates a spiral resembling the Fibonacci spiral ! !
ReplyDeletei found out that Fibonacci is in The Milky Way Galaxy, as a spiral, and in DNA, again as a spiral.
ReplyDeleteI have found several iPhone apps that help you to create perfect picture with the help of golden rule. You should try them!
ReplyDeleteI have also learned that:
The eyes, beak, wing and certain body markings of the penguin all fall at golden sections of its height.
The ear reflects the shape of the Fibonacci spiral and the cochlea of our inner ear forms a golden spiral as well.
Fingers: 8 fingers in total, 5 digits on each hand, 3 bones in each finger, 2 bones in 1 thumb, and 1 thumb on each hand.
The eyes, fins and tail of the dolphin are golden numbers and the fins of a dolphin are divided using the ratio as well.
I found out that 1. The Nautilus Shell is the most well known example of the golden spiral
ReplyDelete2. The golden spiral can also be found in artichoke flowers
3. Other than the golden spiral there is a golden ratio, golden angle and of course the golden rectangle.
The Fibonacci sequence is infinite.That's pretty cool
ReplyDeleteI found out that the number of petals on a flower are Fibonacci numbers.
ReplyDeleteKath-i found out that the first fibonacci seqence was discovered before fibonacci was even alive
