EvC Forum: Does randomness exist?

Just found this and was very intrigued. Smarter people than I respond in this forum. It has been quite some time that I have read something that I went, "Hmm, I'm pretty dumb." I found this forum by looking into the golden ratio or 1.6183:1 . I hadn't seen this number or even thought about it in 10 years, where I had seen it in a disney film in Geometry class as a Sophmore.

As a graphic designer, I could really learn something from this rather attractive number. Human beings find it beautiful since its ratio is so "correct". The ratio is seen every where in the natural world; found in subjects like flowers and shells that humans find beautiful. It would only seem natural that a designer, whose main purpose is creating beautiful layouts for clients, should add the golden ratio into his arsenal of creativeness. It would at the very least speed my creative process along.

Whatever the case, it is imperative that I learn more about it before trying to execute using it.

Ah well, it would be nice to be 18 again, and KNOW EVERYTHING!
