That was a nice thrashing of some of the silly numerology that seems to collect around the Fibonacci sequence/golden ratio.
I do wonder why phi gets so much attention (pi as well), but e doesn't? My suspicion is that it's because logarithms are "harder" to understand...
- rw 17y agoChaitin's constant is also quite underappreciated.
- earthboundkid 17y agoChaitin’s constant has the problem that unlike pi, no one can memorize its first n digits.
