The Secret of the Golden Ratio

Why are the objects that contain the Golden Ratio so pleasing? Much reliable evidence has shown that objects that meet the requirements of the Golden Ratio are attractive and pleasing to the human eye. Throughout history, many experts have tried to find reasonable explanations for this question. Two thousand years ago, ancient Greeks discovered the magic of this ratio from the Golden Rectangle. The Golden Rectangle is a rectangle that meets the Golden Ratio requirements and contains an infinite number of proportional Golden Rectangles within itself. The ancient Greeks were attracted by this special number and its unique characteristics.

Since then, the more closely experts have searched, the more things they have discovered that relate to Golden Ratio. From architecture to art, music, and the solar system, to human, animals and plants, there is nowhere the Golden Ratio cannot be found. Its widespread existence is astonishing. Whether ancient Greeks were unconsciously influenced by the presence of the Golden Ratio in their natural surroundings first and were led to develop toward that proportion, or whether they discovered its beauty first and then chose to model after it we will never know. In reality, we can not deny the greatness of the Golden Ratio, which has been carried on for centuries around the universe.
