This book presents a fully scientific account of the use of the golden ratio. It explores the observation that stable nucleides obey a number theory based general law. The discovery described in this book could be of seminal significance, also in other fields where the golden ratio is known to be of fundamental importance.

Philosophers have long speculated that a link exists between natural numbers and the physical world...
Pythagoras:
"...all is number"
John Dalton (1803):
"...Atoms combine in simple numerical ratios..."
Prout s hypothesis, published anonymously in 1815:
"...the elements are different aggregates of the atoms of primordial hydrogen..."
Alexandre Émile Beguyer de Chancourtois (1862):
"...the properties of the elements are the properties of numbers..."
William Harkins (1921):
"...the ratio Z/(A - Z) never exceeds the value 0.62 in atomic species..."
Within this book, readers with an interest in mathematics, science or natural philosophy will find this expectation addressed...

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Of all the great innovations and intellectual achievements of mankind there is nothing that rivals the invention of counting and discovery of the number system. The way in which this discovery led to the development of abstract higher mathematics is the least of its merits, compared to the universal f- cination that the natural numbers hold for all people. Numbers are at the roots of magic, superstition, religion and science. Numerologists can int- pret great historical and cosmicevents, predict thefuture and explain human nature. Better informed, sophisticated people may frown upon and ridicule such claims,but the number of incidents that link numbers tophysical e ects is simply too large to ignore as mere coincidence. It is in cases like these that the more respectable number theory is substituted for numerology. Although it is recognized as the most fundamental branch of mathem- ics,thevocabulary ofnumbertheoryincludesconcepts suchasprimenumber, perfect number, amicable number, square number, triangular number, py- midal number, and even magic number, none of which sounds too scienti c and may suggest a di erent status for the subject. Not surprisingly, number theory remains the pastime of amateurs and professionals alike - all the way from the great Gauss down. It may be claimed that abstract number theory is more lofty than mundane science, never to be degraded into a servant of physical theory. Artikel-Nr. 9781402066597
