II: The Golden Ratio

In this talk I am going to discuss about the mathematical and artistic origin of the Golden Ratio. According to classical standards that is the most beautiful proportion you can find and it has a mathematical definition!

There will be a test to see if that is still applicable today according to what we are now used to.

However the test goes, I will also highlight the connections of that magical number to the physical world we live in,  astronomy included, so to convince the heretics to change their mind
