Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around gathering human measurements to explore the concept of the golden ratio, specifically focusing on total heights and the heights of a person's navel from the ground. The context includes statistical analysis and potential implications of these measurements.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests measurements of total height and navel height to analyze the golden ratio.
  • Another participant provides their measurements: a total height of 162 inches and a navel height of 134 inches.
  • A participant mentions the significance of the navel's location and the ambiguity in measuring it, referencing discussions from another thread about the golden ratio.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the significance of the navel measurement or its implications for the golden ratio, and questions remain about the precision of the measurements.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights potential ambiguities in defining the navel's location and the implications of measurement accuracy on the analysis of the golden ratio.

Post your measurments pleasezz

I am answering a statistics problem and it asks me to answer questions referring to human measurements. Trying to reveal "the golden ratio" base on the info below:

I am gathering TOTAL HEIGHTS(inches) and HEIGHTS OF A PERSON'S NAVEL, MEASURED FROM THE GROUND(inches). it would be great if you can provide these 2 measurments. Thanks

More the better!
Since more is better, I went upstairs and measured. My total height was 162 inches from the ground and my navel is 134 inches from the ground.

Markowski, of the University of Maine, raised some questions, like, the significance of the navel, and ambiguity of measurement of a precise location of the navel since it has a non-trivial length. There has been some discussion about "the golden ratio" and other matters in the “PF photography thread", recently.
