Facts a Day

[Vinod2070]

The nature's own number 1.618

1.The number of Female bees in a HONEYCOMB is always more than the number of Male bees and their ratio equals 1.618
2.The Arrangement of LEAVES in a PLANT STALK bears this ratio 1.618
3.If you examine a SEA SHELL , you will find the ratio between the diameter of each successive SPIRAL is 1.618
4.The Eyes, Fins and Tail of a Dolphin all lies at golden lenghts of its body.
5.The position of beautiful markings on a Butterfly are at this proportion.
6.Parts of the INSECTS when segmented bears the ratio of 1.618

Its our turn now. THE HUMAN BODY.

1. Measure the distance from the tip of your HEAD to the floor and divide this with the distance from your NAVEL ( Belly button) to the bottom of the floor. Your calculator will show 1.618
2. Measure the distance from your SHOULDERS to your fingertips and divide it with the distance from your ELBOW to the fingertips. The answer will remain the same.
3.The length from your HIP to floor divided by the length from your KNEE to floor is equal to 1.618
4.Even your Finger joints, toes and SPINAL CORD bear this ratio.

The golden ratio!

Some books by that Dan Brown guy has all these details and more.

Waiting for his next one. Should be interesting.

THE TAJ MAHAL , The PYRAMIDS, The PARTHENON and many other architectures were designed with this GOLDEN Ratio 1.618. No matter how we progress in science and technology we can never understand the mistery of nature.
Welcome vinod,seeing you after quite a long time.

The pressure created by a heart is sufficient to squirt the blood to a distance of up to 9 meters. That’s 27 feet.

1 metre = 3.3 feet so, 9 metres is nearly 30 feet?

I thought Facts are supposed to be true?

its 29.7..may be they typed it wrong thanx for pointing out

 

[aakash_2410]

Or maybe they just used 1 metre = 3.3 feet ~ 3 feet and then 9x3= 27? Just a rounding up error?



P.S.
Fun fact: Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour so, fat people stop going gym and wasting money start banging your head against the wall?

If there was a mirror on the moon and you had a
telescope to see your own reflection, there would
be a 2.6 second delay in what you saw.

That's because the distance between the earth and moon is 3.844x10^8 metres and the speed of light is 3x10^8 metres/sec but light needs to travel twice for you to see your reflection so the distance is 7.688x10^8 metres.

And t(s)=d(s)/x d0t = 7.688x10^8/3x10^8 = 2.56 seconds.

These stuff reminds me so much of First year Dynamics :/

Its 3.28 Feet per meter and not 3.3.
Even a millimeter can ruin your life...
Let me tell you how:

when the (then) world famous Petronas tower was in construction in Kuala lumpur the following happened:

Tower 2 became the first to reach the world's tallest building at the time because the builders of Tower 1, Hazama Corporations, ran into problems when they discovered the structure was leaning 25 millimetres (0.98 in) off from vertical.[citation needed] To correct the lean, the next 16 floors were slanted back 20 millimetres (0.79 in) with specialist surveyors hired to check verticality twice a day until the building's completion

Hope you people understand the gravity of such fault lines in building or elsewhere.

If it comes to ball bearings, the tolerance limit is zero mm.

Bikini is named after Bikini Atoll, a nuclear weapons testing site, because the creator thought it would provoke in onlookers a similar reaction to gazing at an atomic bomb.
