Maths & Beauty: How celebrity faces would look if they fit the Golden Ratio
-the Golden Ratio has long been believed to be the key to aesthetic beauty in design, art, and nature
-the golden ratio between a pair of objects equal to the ratio of their sum to the bigger of the two quantities, the ratio value is 1.618 (phi)
-could potentially ruin faces when the Golden Ratio is being configured in photoshop
-lesson learnt: there are no surefire formulas in beauty/good design
Was used by Leonardo da Vinci when painting the Mona Lisa

"What's the Universe made of? Math"
MIT cosmologist Max Tegmark believes the universe is a mathematical structure
"If you accept the idea that both space itself, and all the stuff in space, have no properties at all except mathematical properties, then the idea that everything is mathematical starts to sound a little bit less insane"
"Humans have the power not only to understand our world, but to shape and improve it."
- Max Tegmark
