Perhaps it is because successive rotations of the spiral are proportionally longer, which offsets the decreasing density.

- spikels 13y agoDon't think that would make any difference as long as the size of each dot remains the same. And if you look carefully you can see the density is higher in the center than around the edges (at least to my eye!). Once you get past 40 or 50 the density declines vary slowly.
