it has something to do with the Fibinacci sequence and it's found throughout nature and architecture. i think it's 1.6 something.

1.618\n\nit's PHI\n\nThe Divine Proportion.\n\nIt is the number of nature, try measuring this with a tape measure:\n\nThe length from your head to foot then divide it by the length of your navel to foot.\n\nIt is 1.618, although it might not be very accurate as there are many measuring discrepancies, this 1.618 is really the answer if you should just be very accurate.\n\nTry this: from your shoulder to fingertips the divide it by the length if your elbow to the finger tips.\n\nI guess it would be PHI again.\n\nThere are many of these occurring in nature, we are not just seeing it.\n\nAnd as with the Fibonacci Sequence, yeah, it's appears to be PHI either.

There are different aspects and tools used with Six Sigma.  It may be a Lean project of a Design for Six Sigma.  Ceck out the link for some good info.

the golden ratio = 1.61803399\n\nHere is a 'Fibonacci series'.\n\n0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ..\n\nIf we take the ratio of two successive numbers in this series and divide each by the number before it, we will find the following series of numbers.\n\n1/1 = 1\n2/1 = 2\n3/2 = 1.5\n5/3 = 1.6666...\n8/5 = 1.6\n13/8 = 1.625\n21/13 = 1.61538...\n34/21 = 1.61904...\n\nThe ratio seems to be settling down to a particular value, which we call the golden ratio(Phi=1.618..).\n\n\n\nGolden Rectangle is a rectangle with proportions that are two consecutive numbers from the Fibonacci sequence.\n\nThe Golden Rectangle has been said to be one of the most visually satisfying of all\ngeometric forms. We can find many examples in art masterpieces such as in edifices of ancient Greece.\n\n\nit's even important in Mona Lisa! InWe can draw a rectangle whose base extends from the woman's right wrist to her left elbow and extend the rectangle vertically until it reaches the very top of her head. Then we will have a golden rectangle.\nAlso, if we draw squares inside this Golden Rectangle, we will discover that the edges of these new squares come to all the important focal points of the woman: her chin, her eye, her nose, and the upturned corner of her mysterious mouth.\nIt is believed that Leonardo, as a mathematician tried to incorporate of mathematics into art. This painting seems to be made purposefully line up with golden rectangle.\n\n\ni hope this has helped!\n\n~MathWhiz~

I think you are making connections which are not really there.  If you look hard enough, you cant find numeric connections with a lot of things which are coincidence and have no meaning in reality.\nThere are 10 planets now, not 9 (and not 7).  We define our colors very arbitrarily, the same with music notes, there is no real physical meaning behind why green and blue are not considered shades of the same color.  Who decided that Asia and Europe should be different continents, one might very easily make thw argument that should really be one big continent...and India is often times refered to as a "sub" continent.\nI dont see how any of these things would influence the number of dimentions there are, but at very least, they are fun to think about for novelty purposes.

Sounds like a Math/Science type question to me. Why are you posting it here?\n\nBesides, I have the the slightest idea.

Yes, \n1:1 means 1 and by convention, \nthis means 1 to 1 matching i.e.same \nimplying  'same dimensions as the other'\nSimple...Got it?

Because the numbers after the decimal (to the right of) represent less than one. One times a number is that number. Less than one times a number is only a fraction of that number.\n\nMake sense?

There is a great deal missing from this article. Whether or not it is life is questionable. That the material is called "cells" indicates that the material is self-reproducing 'autonomously', and I don't know that's been proved yet.\n\nAlso, yet to be proved, is the idea that the material is of extraterrestrial origin. There are many new types of life being found on earth almost daily. True most of these are just variations of species, but we are finding life in places never before thought possible.\n\nWithout DNA, some other sort of self-replication mechanism needs to be present, and the article made no claims to what form this mechanism takes. I would need to see a great deal more to be convinced of any of the claims made in the article.\n\nThat's not to say I couldn't believe, but I just need more information.

12,000,198 microscopical creatures\n\nit's 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 17 x 7 x 6 x 7 = 12,000,198\n\nBy the way, why is this in Words and Wordplay not Math?\nAm I missing something?

You have asked this question before and it is not clear what you are asking for..... The code to which you refer:\n\n1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21\n\nis a well known series of numbers referred to as the Fibonacci Sequence (the sequence continues on and the numbers quoted are the first 8). In the book, these numbers, when placed in the correct sequence (above) represent, among other things, an account number. They had been randomly written (out of sequence) beside the body in the Louvre in order to disquise their true meaning.\n\nFor more on the Fibonacci Sequence see:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

You have to look at evolution as a series of slight beneficial changes that are passed down through generations.  The steps from single to double circ are unknown to me, but it is more than a single big jump.

You know Fibonacii number, well , it starts from 0,1. The nexst neumber is the sum 0f its previous two. So the third number in this series would be 0+1==, the fourth number would be 1+1=2,the next would be 2+1=3, next one 3+2=5, next 5+3=8 and so on. It looks like 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21.....................and so on. The ratio of its any term to its previous term continuously increases. The limit of this ratio as we move along the series to infinity becomes close to 1.6 something. This is golden ratio and the symbol given to it is phi. This is the most beautiful number in nature. In a large beehive, the ratio of females to males is phi. ( So is the ratio of total population to the number of females; prove).The ratio of length from waistline to the top of a human being to the length from waistline to bottom closely approximates to phi ; as well as its total height to the length from waist to top. The ratio appears in sunflower head as rario of two types of florets. It appears aboundantly in nature in circumstances where a system has natural healthy growth. The ratio finds itself in all sorts of arts forms. tons of books have been written on it. yoou can get very interesting links in google search\nHave a nice time.

There is no proven connection at this time, hence it being a "theory." There are definite similarities, like we share 93% of the same genetic similarities with orangutans.

I am thinking that this has something to do with teeth, because of the 32 family members and the second birth part, but I am at a loss as to what exactly the answer could be.

This all dates back to the Ancient Babylonians who liked to count in base 60. Ratios of 6, 12, 60, and 360 were seen by them as being 'round' numbers in the same way that we use base 10 and see 5, 10, 100 etc as useful numbers to divide things up into. \n\nSee: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/ HistTopics/Babylonian_and_Egyptian.html \n\nThe Babylonians divided the sky into the 12 signs of the Zodiac, and a circle into 360 degrees. They divided the day and night each into 12 hours (although in many time systems the lengths of these varied between summer and winter! Babylon was rather nearer the equator than Liverpool, so they didn't get too confused with this). The hour was split into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds. \n\nAll these numbers have survived for 4000 years, despite the fact that we have changed our numbering system to base 10! In England, when I was young, we still measured with feet, each divided into 12 inches. The Americans still do! [By the way, do you know where the mile comes from? It's Roman, not Babylonian!] \n\nThe year is nearly 360 days long and the Babylonians split it into 12 months. Other civilizations based their calendar on the moon and had 13 months. We still have problems with this today because Easter is based on the lunar calendar and migrates around the Julian calendar in a complex way. Chinese new year is still based on the Lunar calendar
