Me and my graphic design teacher were talking today, and i showed him some pictures of Fran with her tail all curled up and he was like man that is so cool!!!! Do you know why that happens?? and he explained to me, the Fibonacci sequence.

it happens all through nature in different shapes forms I.E. flowers, chameleons tails etc.

i thought it was neat

I hadn't even thought of that, but it does work.

As an older geek, the Fibonacci sequence is most notable to me because on Star Trek Next Gen, Data's "eye blinks" were programmed to be alternate Fibonacci numbers. I assume for only a very short sequence of the numbers.

can you explain this fibonacci? what does it have to do with nature?

0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,ect.....

By graphing it creates a spiral. Thus chammy tail or shells ect... It's much deeper than that but for some reason many things in nature abide by the theory. Leafs on plants, branches and nodes, pinecones, there are tons of examples. To me it's still not as cool as mandlebrot sets.

The 0 and the 1 are the base...after that, every number is the sum of the previous 2 numbers.
