Mathematically Beautiful

Thoughout the ages, artists and sculptors from all around the world and since all of them tried to represent the beauty of a human face over a canvas or out of stone. All of them, as all of us mortals, seek beauty and it is said that we all have different tastes but it has been proven that beauty conforms to a mathematical stencil of the human face as proportioned to Phi.

Phi [φ] is a number that represents the ratio between two numbers to be approximately 1.61803398... Through his work in maxillofacial, Dr. Stephen Marquardt has performed the study, involving a pentagon and a decagon as the base for this "mask of beauty".

Dr. Marquardt found that this mask didn't fit a specified race of gender, it could fit almost on every piece of art that exemplified the proportionally beautyful human face and could fit in every human face as well (proportionally beautiful, of course). I find this to be an extraordinaire concept. That what we find to be beautiful, almost all comes down to this number, Phi.

But not only Phi is connected to the human face, but in architecture, paintings, and nature as well. The facade of the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Parthenon are modeled after a study with Phi, also known as the Golden Ratio in architecture. Several paintings and sculptures are modelled after Phi as well, just take a look at the bust of Queen Nefertiti. We can find this numer from sunflowers to the arms twisting around the center of a spiral galaxy to the very shape of the helix of Earth's lifeforms' DNA making this number somewhat of a building block of natural beauty.

Everywhere we look around, we find a relationship to beauty through this proportion of beauty which makes me think: If this number correlates to everything natural that our senses define as beautiful, could life elsewhere develop a form and shape that fits this proportion? Could intelligent beings from other solar systems (or even parallel unverses) conform to our "rules" of beauty?

Not everything is beautyful, but this number, this proportion, cannot be specific to this planet, doesn't it?
