So you all know the golden (ratio) spiral. But did you know that not only the golden ratio but really every number has such a spiral associated with it? And that this spiral provides key insights into the nature of a number. Featuring more proofs by contradiction by infinite descent (my current obsession), infinite continued fractions, etc.
Here are some articles that debunk a lot of the golden spiral in nature nonsense:

Here is a very good website devoted to everything to do with the golden ratio and Fibonacci

Thank you very much to Michael (editing), Marty (nitpicking) and Danil (translating).
Enjoy!
