The Fibonacci sequence runs through the inner solar system exactly as far as the lattice of time allows — and the gears of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and the Earth multiply to the turn of the DNA helix
Of all the Fibonacci numbers, only seven are built from 2, 3 and 5 alone: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 144. The ratios they keep — 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5 — are the locks of the solar system, among them Mercury's three rotations to two orbits.
The inner solar system runs on a ladder of speed gears, each a {2,3,5} fraction. Their product is the turn of the B-form DNA helix.
The golden ratio is irrational, but its face on the lattice is a door: √(5π/6). The golden angle on the lattice is 432/π, the angle a sunflower packs its seeds by.
Yes, as far as the lattice allows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 144 are the only Fibonacci numbers built from 2, 3 and 5, and their ratios are the locks of the inner planets.
25/18 × 125/108 × 54/25 × 3 = 125/12 = 10.41666…, the turn of the B-form DNA helix.
1.6180215938, √(5π/6) — a door, whose square is 5π/6, 150 degrees in radians.
Nothing on this page was pulled, attracted or held down. There is one substance — time — flowing from the sparse toward the dense, and the radio whisper of cold hydrogen and the slow turning of Mercury are one thread of its pattern. If it stirred your curiosity, the whole weave is waiting: the planets, the atom, light, life and number, all carried by the same single force.
