I dislike how they went about explaining that the ratios between Fibonacci numbers approaches Phi or The Golden Ratio without ever reaching it and that since Phi is a number that extends infinitesimally, beyond hypothesizing that in the physical world it might be possible that an object doesnt have an edge, it just gets infinitely smaller, than you could say that the Fibonacci sequence is the physical representation of the mathematical concept of Phi (where as the site suggests that when you use Phi to find fibonacci numbers you will get a whole number and then they FAIL to do so in their demonstration, and the first 3 numbers of the sequence disprove the concept put forth by the author, granted that for larger Fibonacci numbers it works because the ratio approaches Phi) ... Side note, the movie Pi was actually about the number Phi, so considering the subject matter of the film, that math is the language of nature and there is a secret power hidden within the number Pi but then describing Phi throughout the film (pi for spirals), why not just be accurate and use Phi? Perhaps there is a secret hidden in the sequence, but that is really more of a philosophical question for ones self.. If nothing else, go pick some sunflowers or walk along the beach and look for shells and enjoy the Fibonacci Sequence in nature because math is fun. Be a Math Addict!
