Golden Ratio discovered in quantum world

astounding stuff

"Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB, Germany), in cooperation with colleagues from Oxford and Bristol Universities, as well as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, have for the first time observed a nanoscale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. They have measured the signatures of a symmetry showing the same attributes as the golden ratio famous from art and architecture."

to get up to speed -

*quantum critical points - a state that exists when a material is at the cusp of transitioning from one quantum phase to another. Unlike ice going to water which is a thermal transition, this is a property of the subatomic scale, a purely quantum mechanical state. This occurs at as close as you can get to absolute zero.

*Ferromagnetism - the basic mechanism by which certain materials (such as iron) form permanent magnets

*quantum uncertainty (heisenberg) is introduced through neutron scattering, and in turn the molecule or atom is played like an instrument

awesome

crazy...
the golden ratio: (a + b)/a = a/b

wish i could truly appreciate the import of that, but my degree is in linguistics.


cool though

From a past thread August 08'

- The Amen Break and the Golden Ratio

The only reason I posted such a ridiculously obscure, strange, but amazing thing like this up here

its amen related yo




but...




its close.... but probably just a coincidence since we like to see patterns and point to them like monkeys! What do you think.....

^ I think I like that monkey

Reminds me of me back in my monkey days

Very interesting read by the way
