South African researchers have claimed that the universe is governed by a 'golden ratio'. They say space-time itself is defined by this mathematical constant. The ratio - 1.618 - is found across nature in plants, hurricanes and more (shown). assassin's creed hood scarf ebayBut the researchers say it is also ever-present in the universeThe research was carried out by Dr Jan Boeyens at the University of Pretoria and Dr Francis Thackeray of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.They say the golden ratio - 1.618 - can be seen ‘related not only to aspects of mathematics but also to physics, chemistry, biology and the topology of space-time.’And it may dictate how certain things in the universe take shape.  eska hoodiesFans of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code will remember when the protagonist Professor Langton explains how mathematics and art collide via the 'golden ratio.'For those who haven't read the populist thriller, it is the number 1.618 which has been plucked from the famous Fibonacci sequence.agape hoodie

In this sequence each number is the sum of the previous two, so it beings 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. If you take two successive numbers their ratio is very close to 1.618.This isn't that impressive on its own. itc hoodiesUntil you realise that this ratio is the key to everything from encrypting computer data, to the numbers of spirals on a sunflower head, our own limbs and why the Mona Lisa is so pleasing to the eye.Some have argued that because the sequence seems to grow in an 'organic' way, the golden ratio may play a part in nature.The ratio of 1.618 has already been found externally all over the human body. It usually marks the proportion of your hand to your forearm as well as the distance between your three knuckles on each finger.The spiral numbers in a sunflower will always total a Fibonacci number, while dividing those pointing right and left will give you two consecutive Fibonacci numbers linked by the ratio 1.68.

These spiral patterns are also found in pineapples, cauliflowers and pine cones.  The golden ratio, represented by the Greek letter 'phi', is said to be is a mathematical connection between two aspects of an object.It can be artificially used – for example, some 20th century artists used it for the rectangular shape of their portraits from the long side to the short side.They believed that the ratio created an aesthetically pleasing appearance.But the ratio is not just artificially created – it is apparently found through nature in the stems of plants, skeletons of animals and so on.And the shape of spirals also seem to follow the golden ratio. This suggests that geometric shapes in the universe ultimately succumb to this mathematical property.‘A convincing case for assuming a cosmic character of the golden ratio can be made based on the ubiquity of logarithmic spirals,’ the researchers write.‘Spectacular examples include the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), ammonites, the shape of Nautilus shells, Hurricane Katrina and the distribution of planets, moons, asteroids and rings in the solar system.’The researchers suggest that the reason that this ratio is so ubiquitous is that it is actually a property of space-time.‘

The argument that this amazing consilience (self-similarity) arises from a common environmental constraint, which can only be an intrinsic feature of curved space-time, is compelling,’ they write.‘The time has come to recognise that relativity and quantum theories can be integrated, and linked numerically to the value of a mathematical constant - whether in the context of space-time or biology’Quite why the universe follows this rule, however, is not known.Some think that our fine-tuned universe is simply a lucky coincidence and, under the multiverse theory, there are an infinite number of other universes that were not quite so lucky. The researchers say the golden ratio might make up space-time itself. Some have suggested our universe may have been the only one in the multiverse theory to have this ratio that allowed it to form.

The answer does not lie in the shape of the box you just created on a design canvas. It has a lot to do with the content of the image itself.How you frame and crop images can impact engagement and even how a person looking at the image feels about it (whether they know it or not). Here, we’re going to look at two different ways of thinking about images – using the phi grid and rule of thirds — and how you can apply them to your work.Grids and ScienceSo the key to understanding images and harmony starts with a little science. The Golden Ratio is ones of those bits of science that can be applied to design and images. (And it happens whether you intend to or not.)The Golden Ratio is based on the Fibonacci sequence, which was developed by a mathematician in the 12th century.

Simply stated, it is a ratio of ideal proportions: 1 to 1.618. The Golden Ratio goes by a handful of other names as well including the golden mean, divine proportion, golden rectangle, extreme mean and phi. It is used across a variety of disciplines such as design, architecture, painting and music and can also be found in nature. When drawn, the Fibonacci sequence is depicted as a spiral within the shape of a perfect rectangle.This number and “perfect rectangular shape” are important because they form the most pleasing and attractive shape for the human eye. That’s not to say that everything you create will use the Golden Ratio, but it is something to consider when framing and cropping images. (Note: While most of the images here show the grids in horizontal orientation, they work vertically as well.)Phi GridThe Phi Grid helps you visualize the Golden Ratio as a part of each image. It is based on a combination of smaller rectangles in a grid over an image, where four of the rectangles are based on the 1:1.618 ratio.

What you can see when using the Phi Grid is in the spaces where gridlines intersect. These so-called “sweet spots” are places where the eye is naturally drawn in an image. Cropping or aligning an image so that key parts fall in these areas will create focus and harmony.ProsThe grid creates visual harmony.The grid creates distinct sections on the canvas that aren’t always perfectly symmetrical.Works for photos where weight needs to be toward outside edges of the frame.Grid creates perfect division of space mathematically.You can use the grid lines for alignment and to ensure visual harmony.The top horizontal gridline can be great for landscape images and create a horizon line to make cropping easier.ConsThe grid can be difficult to create.The grid can leave “odd holes” in the eyes of some designers.Getting caught up in trying to design on the grid can get frustrating.Rule of ThirdsThe Rule of Thirds is a more widely recognized image grid that is very much like the Phi Grid. While the origins are not precisely known, it is believed that the concept developed out of a need for a simpler solution to using the Phi Grid.The Rules of Thirds is a grid that divides any frame into nine equal parts.

The corresponding ratio is 1 to 1 per rectangle. So it’s close to the Phi Grid but not precise. The result is a perfectly symmetrical grid that easy to visualize and use. Just like with the Phi Grid, the “sweet spots” are the locations where lines intersect.ProsIt is easy to use.Standard software, such as Adobe Photoshop, includes rule of thirds cropping guides.It creates visual harmony and equal weighting in an image.The “sweet spots” are a little larger and easy to find and align.The looser variation on the Golden Ratio might feel more natural to some.ConsIt’s not mathematically perfect (if you are a stickler for those things).It can feel too divided in some instances – depending on the image – or too perfect, because of the forced symmetry.Which Should I Use?Now for the tough part, which grid should you use? What if the answer is neither or both?Every image can be overlaid with either grid (look at the images above and compare them using each). Understanding these concepts is less about trying to actively make sure every image uses one or the other and is more about understanding how these things impact what you are doing.

Use these grids as a way to make sure that your images (or logos or illustrations) are as visually sound as they can be. Grids can help you create a foundation for harmony and balance (or lack thereof). Grids can help you tweak an image and crop to a more ideal shape if you feel like something in an image is just off. Grids can help you organize your image and design framework on the canvas.But that brings us back to the question: Which grid should I use?Use the Rule of Thirds in a jiffy. It’s easy to visualize. Use it when you are actually framing and taking a photograph.Use the Phi Grid when you want to be precise and perfect. (I like to toss it over elements just to see how close a project is generally.)Use the Rule of Thirds in portraits. It can create beautiful positioning of a face in a frame with more room. (Try to align eyes in a grid intersection for impact).Use the Phi Grid for landscapes. Align the horizon with the top gridline or a body of water or foreground element with the bottom gridline.
