    "Math is simple rules complex consequences" that is so true, I'm blown. I wish they'd teach us with such examples in school. In schools they never stress on applications, they just teach us the formulae and it's over. No wonder students say, "Why am I supposed to learn this? I don't think this will be of any use in my future." Anyway nice vid :)

    Plants don't follow sequences and formulas. Formulas and Sequances are derived from plants which react to the physics of the universe for optimal survival. Its like they are maps of the universe created by nature, refined over time. Just my opinion, what do you think?

    If I was a plant and wanted to have a lot of leaves to catch the most sunlight, then the leaves at the very bottom to the stem would have to be the biggest, at then as the leaves grow on the stem then depending on where they are then they would have to be either smallest (if at the very top), medium sized (if grown in the middle or somewhere like that) or huge or kind of big (if near the bottom)

    “Tools” is an American metal band pervasively known for incorporating the Fibonacci Sequence in their musical time signatures and lyric patterns, 9/8 to 8/8 etc…I’d like to explore their ironic use of the sequence in their song called “Lateralus,” in the opening lyrics to the song the Fibonacci Sequences were embedded in the numbering of syllables, making the inherent nature of the Fibonacci Sequence applicable beyond the parameters of music, but into writing, poetry and other sorts of linguistic usage.
    Fibonacci Coriolis Effect: There’s a strong correlation between biological structures and the physics of motion, would “electromagnetism” be an inappropriate metaphor? Because although electricity and magnetism are intertwined, the former is an electric charge and the latter is a force and repel, and it became “electromagnetism” after Maxwell’s juxtaposition of their inner mechanisms in his unified equation.
    Fibonacci Sequence are in the Coriolis Effects, the sequences are in the non-transparent symmetry of the wind, synonymous to the propagating patterns in pineapple pine-cones outer layers. There’s pairs of spirals widening to the left and right where the numerical systems are found, seems prevalent in the symmetry of Botany. Equivalent to objects in motion on the earths surface that curve in relation to the revolution, Northern Hemisphere deflecting to the right and the Southern Hemisphere deflecting to the left.

    I know circles and spheres form as they do because pi maximizes their area and volume respectivly, nothing more; though not everything that forms a circle or sphere does so perfectly. Once that pattern starts things that don't follow closely get left behind, tear. I imagined the same was true of the golden ratio, phi, and this was beautifully done. It's also good to see I wasn't too far off. I find plants boring, but who knew they followed such a cool number. Thanks Vihart

    There was a paper somewhere showing that plants were detecting changes in daytime hours, and working out what pace to consume their food stores at in the night - to much and they could starve and die, to little and they'd be wasting time. Instead they would have consumed about 90% of their stock come dawn each day. This implies that they might do math in some capacity, and have some understanding of calendars. You're awesome BTW.

    I've noticed that rosetted sundews follow this rule, but in terms of carnivorous plants, that's it. Nepenthes do this weird thing where the first leaf sends off a new leaf at a 180 degree angle. The next leaf is sent out at an angle, which varies upon species. They can afford to overlap leaves because they eventual turn into a vine. Nepenthes veitchii is the only one that doesn't do this. Look it up, it's beautiful and really strange. It kind of "hugs" onto a tree.

    Okay look around for a large tree with one single trunk which begins dividing into two separate but equal size trunks.
    Growing Alongside is a similar tree with a trunk only half as wide as its neighbor.
    Now in order to estimate a tree's age. We look at its species average growth rate per year. AKA how wide each Year's New Growth ring increases trunks outer circumference.
    But in situation where there are two or more trunks dividing off of one main lower trunk. Each of the divided trunks are measured separately then overall size is averaged.
    That calculated sum should be identical to same age tree having produced only one single trunk.
    So don't be fooled by multi-stemmed trees dramatically adding increased girth to single main trunk below them.
    Be on the lookout for single trunk specimens 13 ft around and up. Champion Hardwoods usually 20 ft or larger.
    On the other hand when it comes to mixing and applying product, not estimating age.
    Since it's common for Nursery grown understory stock to produce multiple stems.
    When determining how much product needs to be applied. Add each individual trunk size together.

    While some advanced mathematician may correct me, to my knowledge there is no relationship between Pi and Phi, with Phi being derived from dividing numbers of the Fibonacci sequence, and with Pi being derived from circles. She is indeed referring to phi, not pi.

    (3) "The most efficient system of survival" is not a system that is "the one" rather, survival depends upon adaptation. The survivors (or as I prefer to call them, the ones living) are not the ones that chose X optimal pattern, but rather the livers are the ones that make the most appropriate adaptations for ever-changing conditions. As you can now see evolution is not the survival of the fittest, rather the survival of who makes the smartest adaptations, survival of the most intelligent.

    This video was really good to show my daughter; it shows her that girls like maths and art and nature.

    or maybe the fibonacci sequence is another reason natures elegance alone can make life rich and meaningful without the supernatural.
