Nature, including man, develops according to the laws that are defined in the Fibonacci numerical sequence.

The elements of the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, ... where the first two numbers are 1 or 1 and each successive number is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers.

Any sequence of Fibonacci number divided by the previous, results in a value that fluctuates around the value 1.61803398875 ... F = 1.618. When you divide each number with the next one, the number is 0.382; on the contrary - 2.618, respectively.

This sequence of numbers was known to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. In fact in nature, architecture, fine arts, mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology we found similar proportions among the various elements, as described by the Fibonacci sequence.

It is incredible how many constants can be calculated using the Fibonacci sequence and how its members manifest themselves in a huge number of combinations: wave of the sea, the pyramids of Giza, galaxies, snails, plants, animals, horns, structure of the human chromosomes, molecules ...
