-- What is the significance of nautilus shells? --

If a pair of rabbits is placed in an enclosed area, how many rabbits will be born there if we assume that every month a pair of rabbits produces another pair, and that rabbits begin to bear young two months after their birth? ...

a recursive formula where each generation is defined in terms of the previous two generations. ...

Many flowers offer a beautiful confirmation of the Fibonacci mystique.

In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence. The expanding chamber size of a nautilus shell follows this sequence.

One of the most beautiful water creatures is the Nautilus, a cephalopod encased in a gorgeous shell, which features the best natural example of a logarithmic spiral. It is also considered as a symbol of strength since this shell can withstand very high pressure. This is why the Nautilus is the only shell that managed to survive past the dinosaur era--the exact reason why it is often referred to as a 'living fossil.'

The Nautilus is also a symbol of perfection and beauty. After all, it has remained unchanged for centuries. Each chamber of the Nautilus follows the Fibonacci sequence, with the shape of the shell approximating a Phi spiral, which is considered an important aspect of Sacred Geometry. The Nautilus also represents the golden mean: 1.6180339..., which goes on until infinity.
