    It is so interesting how literally everything in math is connected and intertwined. This is really cool because if you don’t quite understand a certain topic or problem you can look at some things you do understand and connect it to what you are having trouble with.

      That is the essence of what is known as the Langlands Program, named for Robert Langlands, who essentially created the whole schema...it relates to what are two entirely separate fields in mathematics, harmonic analysis and number theory, and the bridge that links them together.

    I used to hate Mathematics. Long story short I developed Arithmophobia since an early age. Until tonight I watched a video about Fibonacci Sequence that introduces me a total new prospective of Math into my life. And for the first time in a long time 33 years more or less (I'm actually 37) I understood Mathematics 😱🤯😍 And after that I found this video is like a double 🤯🤯 sorry I had to is literally mindblowing. I think I can start saying I HAD Arithmophobia. Thank you!

      I would 'guess'? it usually happens because of how cumbersome it is to get used to it from such a young age and to basically drill math into your skull by brute force.
      Maybe, for whatever reason you had a knack for math but never developed the skill to use it because of some bad experience learning it growing up, at a very critical time. But this here, this makes no sense. It's like finding a glitch in the matrix. That's why it's so fun.

    I used the following model to find the dimension of cantor set.
    Consider there is a creature that will reproduce themself 1 sec after they born. After 1 sec they have born, they will start make one new born baby in each sec. And their new born baby will start to reproduce themself 1 sec after they born.
    first sec, only 1 new born baby, number of creature is 1.
    next sec, only 1 creature ready to reproduce (mature), number of creature is 1.
    next sec, 1 new born baby and 1 mature, number of creature is 2.
    next sec, 1 new born baby and 2 mature, number of creature is 3.
    next sec, 2 new born baby and 3 mature, number of creature is 5....
    It end up number of creature in everysec is following fibonacci sequence.

    Great explanation, thanks. By this construction the numerators are also the Fibonacci sequence, two terms behind the denominators. Since the ratio of subsequent terms in the Fibonacci sequences approaches the Golden Ratio as n --> infinity, this means that the ratios that you are considering approach the Reciprocal of the Golden Ratio, Squared.

      Soumil Sahu sometimes it's a Mathematician, sometimes a "non- Mathematician" notices a pattern and wants to know: "does this 'thing' ever stop or does it go on forever?" They may get bored of it, or keep studying it, or even become obsessed with it (especially if their pattern appears to present itself everywhere; it's a constant reminder.)

    We also have the start of the Fibonacci numbers 0,1,1... in the complex plane. The zero in the centre can represent t=0 the moment of now in an individual reference frame. We also have negative 1 and positive 1 with a rotation 2π that is a constant represented by ħ=h/2π. Therefore we even have the start of the Fibonacci numbers 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21... forming spiral on all levels of creation!

    You could draw a straight line from 1/4 to the waist. Since the map is 1/2-sqrt(1/4-z), the straight line from 1/4 is still straight in the circle. And an arc subtends half the angle from a point on the circumference that it does from the center. So the bearing of the point on the circle from 0 is the same as the bearing of the point on the cardioid from 1/4.

If the Fibonacci Sequence is all over nature... where else is it??? The exact idea of the Mandelbrot Set did NOT occur to me, but my small, feeble noodle is TOTALLY in overdrive as I watch this..Love your videos, Dr. Krieger!!

    Starting with 2/5 and moving against 1/2 I will find /7, /9, /11 and so on. Going clockwise moving against 1/3 I get /8, /11, /14 and so on.
    It seems any fraction can be found, not only fibonacci fractions. It all depends on the direction pattern. The fib pattern is left, right, left,...
    The pattern I found is just left all the time. Or right.
