Why is the Fibonacci sequence found everywhere?
In: 2220
Why does Pi show up everyone? Well it describes circles, and circles are everywhere in nature.
Same with the Fibonacci sequence (specifically in form of the golden ratio); it describes the natural growth of spirals, and spirals are all over nature; galaxies, shells, flowers, leaves etc.
For example, leaves of plant will grow at the golden ratio, because it does not repeat uniformally and therefore each leaf will receive the most amount of sun. Evolution favours this, so we see it all over nature.
And since its all over nature, humans have evolved to see this Golden Ratio / Fibonacci sequence as aesthetic, comforting and pleasing to the eye. That’s why it’s used in art, design, photography, architecture etc making it even more “everywhere”.
