Bigelow Physics Building 102
Dr. Mario Livio, an internationally known astrophysicist and best-selling author will talk about the Golden Ratio.
The number 1.618 known as “The Golden Ratio,” has fascinated scholars since antiquity. Some even considered it to be divine, and others were obsessed with it. In this talk I will describe the incredible history of this number, and its uncanny appearances, true and false, in natural phenomena, in the arts, in mathematics, and in human-created artifacts.
This talk is intended for a general audience including enthusiasts of all backgrounds and ages.
