PHI in the human body




PHI is found in the ratios of the lengths of joints.  The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo DaVinci is filled with PHI.  For one thing, the man is in the shape of a pentagon.  The pentagon is also filled with PHI.  Also,  (like in Phi in the human hand) many joints in or body are very related to phi.

Phi in the human heartbeat


PHI is found in the human heartbeat.  If you multiply the time between the first and second major heartbeat by PHI, (1.618...) you will get the time between the second and third major heartbeat.  This is not a repeating pattern.  

PHI in the human hand

PHI is found in many different places in the human body.  In the human hand, (right) if you take the smallest joint, and multiply the length by PHI, (1.618...) you will come out with the length of the next joint, etc.
