        @neiltyson If you're interested in some Golden Ratio-inspired music, you should fetch some 5.1 speakers and listen to “1.618” by @BT.

        @neiltyson And the nth number is also (φ^n - ψ^n) / √5. A sequence of integers constructed by dividing by the square root of 5. #awesome

        @neiltyson If ISO standards last until 2113-08-05, I bet a case will be made to take the centuries as a separate number.

        @neiltyson I am curious as to what makes nature arrange itself so. Like a bubble being an efficient sphere, are spirals efficient as well?
