What is the significance of the relationship between phi and pi?

AI Thread Summary
The relationship between phi (the golden ratio) and pi (the mathematical constant) is highlighted as a fascinating topic, with a recommendation to explore a specific website for more information. The site offers extensive insights into both constants and their significance in mathematics and nature. Additionally, a book titled "The Golden Ratio" is suggested for further reading. The discussion briefly touches on the five senses, questioning the categorization of taste and smell and introducing the concept of balance as another sense. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the interconnectedness of mathematical concepts and sensory perception.

This is by far the most exciting site on pi and phi I have ever seen. You must see this.

Don't forget to see the side links to other pages in the site that describe other interesting facts.

5 senses in sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.

The five main senses... I've always considered taste and smell to be the same idea... identifying molecules. And what about other sense? Such as our sense of balance (via inner ear)?
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
