About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience?

This ratio is the FACT......He was probably discovered by accident in room tuning with EARS or by someone who knows the importance in all field of this historical proportion in art and science....

There is no accident in using 38% (really 37.5% of 3/8th, or 6/8th). The room node lengths of any two walls is a complete waveform and multiples of that. 37.5% is simply where the originating waveform and its reflection cancel or reinforce each other out the least.


The golden ratio, unfortunately, is not purely math as you are no doubt aware. It is far too the proverbial square peg that people try to put into a round hole. In this case it is 1.67, and just happens to be close to 1.62.  If it was 1.7 or 1.55, people would still try to equate it to the so called golden ratio.

You see this what I consider sillyness applied to 16:9 aspect ratio for TV (movie) but this is again another false analogy. 16:9 was a technical trade-off. No more, no less. Our vision limit is 1.4:1 for black and white, about 2-2.2:1 for color discrimination (hence why widescreen movies are like this), and close to 1:1 for central vision.

There is no accident in using 38% (really 37.5% of 3/8th, or 6/8th).

The golden ratio IS not a human creation...It is a natural and mathematical fact ....

Then it is not an accident or an arbirary choice of a deluded man who want to peg it....


And seriously do you think that a general article pick on the net can ridiculized the work of a Russian mathematician (800 pages) I read it by the way....

This is my mathematician bio:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Stakhov

Wrote to him about your facts correction in this not very informed "debunking" article.....

Stakhov is the best specialist on the mathematic of the golden ratio in the world , not a journalist....

😊

« Stakhov is a Ukrainian mathematician, inventor and engineer, who has made contributions to the theory of Fibonacci numbers and the "Golden Section" and their applications in computer science and measurement theory and technology. Doctor of Computer Science (1972), Professor (1974). Author of over 500 publications, 14 books and 65 international patents.»



You read too much internet articles and not enough serious books....

It was the reason why do dont even know what "timbre" is except a useless addition of colors according to tastes

My profession was counselling books to students and not only in litterature but in science also ..... By the way.... 😁


These are the last paragraph of this very impôrtant works:

«The eighth conclusion touches on the general role of the Mathematics of
Harmony in the progress of contemporary mathematics. We affirm that the
Mathematics of Harmony can overcome a contemporary crisis in the devel�
opment of the 20th century mathematics what resulted in the severance of
the relationship between mathematics and theoretical natural sciences [6].
The Mathematics of Harmony is a true “Mathematics of Nature” incarnated in
many wonderful structures and phenomena of the Universe (pine cones, pine�
apples, cacti, heads of sunflowers, quasi�crystals, fullerenes, genetic code, Uni�
verse evolution and so on) and it can give birth to new scientific discoveries. »

Um Mahgister, no offense, but you do this in a lot of threads. Take a question and relatively focused discussion and drag it into your interesting but somewhat hard to follow and tangential directions. At great length.

Clearly you want or need to talk about these issues. That's fine. But may I politely suggest you start a thread with the things you want to discuss (however abstract they are) rather than injecting them into focused threads seeking to solve a problem? It would keep this thread open for more focused or useful contributions (to my question).

You prefer someone who argue against turntable lovers, condemning them to be ignorant, WITHOUT sound argument and against fact and reason?

By the way i have the right to answer a post directed to the simple fact i pointed to....


Arguments are hard to follow when they exist by the way.... Opinions without arguments is it what you want?

children arguing?

 He just suggest that the golden ratio is an ARBITRARY convention and this is ignorance...

I only reestablish a  scientific fact.....

@maghister Yes you have the "right" to go on and on. I was only making a request. Forget it. I'll just skip past your posts if they're off topic and everyone else who is interested in the main theme of the thread can do the same.
