is infinite. Humans cannot even begin to fathom the depths of infinity. It simply is.

The above image is the GOLDEN RECTANGLE. It is called "Golden" because it can be found in everything. Specifically the spiralis figure that is constructed out of the rectangle can be found in everything from a seashell to death patterns of human beings. The ratio of each separate rectangle to the next larger rectangle is 3.14159 - www. Mathworld.wolfram.com
Leonardo Da Vinci's drawing using the Golden Rectangle in the human body has a very mathematical purpose:
a line and a circle
the substance same
for North IS South
on a different plane
the philosophy of relevance
of music in literature
life is the color
in every head and the toe
if a world were a body
and our "ologies" parts
we all sit aloof
with occasional sparks of the curious
then destroying the patience we've built
in attempts to solve the puzzle
it is all a line of continuance
spanning from Babylonia to Japan
from celestial bodies through telescope
to the red carpet of fame.
a line and a circle
the substance same
lines do make sides
and squares are made of these
However this realization does not solve any problems, in fact it creates even further confusion in one's mind. There is a famous philosophy that states, "when one is looking for something, one will find it in everything". Such is the case of mathematics, pi, colors, bla bla. Yes, numbers are visible in any universal element from air to music to nuclear physics, but you will only notice it if your eyes are looking for patterns. Pi is a series that contains every known number to man. After exploring on the internet I found a site that allowed users to plug in their birthday digits into pi's long chain. Pi contains every creature's day of birth. It holds 12 months, billions of years and yes even days. BUT. You may be asking, so what? Why should the human population care? There are odd numbers and coincidences in everything around us, let us stick to the "ignorance is bliss" theory and refrain from taking the red pill (Matrix, 1999). Yet still when the lights are off, voices fade and you are left with the puzzling questions in your brain.. you wonder. You contemplate. Why ARE we here? What are we doing? Is there a God? When am I going to die? Every human is a scientist, a philosopher, the choice of blocking our natural curiosities is fatal to existence. Pi has proven that all can be interwoven into one force. We are all one force. Every thought is a piece to this jigsaw puzzle of life. So, don't be afraid to learn. Don't be afraid to experiment. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. And please don't be afraid to THINK. (It's predicted that one of you will).
Old mathematicians never die, they just lose their functions.
Old mathematicians never die, they just tend to zero.
Old mathematicians never die, they just become angles.
Old statisticians do not die, they are just broken down by age and sex.
