What makes a thing of beauty a sublime insignia of truth in mathematical and scientific theories?

First, the little, big news story. Supermodel Bella Hadid was proclaimed the most beautiful woman in the world — in consonance with Greek mathematics. When scientists determined the most beautiful woman on planet earth, in conformity with the “Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi Standards,recently, they selected Hadid’s face as the one that came closest to “perfection.”

The “Golden Ratiodelineates beauty in agreement with classic Greek calculations — one that ancient scholars used while trying to define beauty with a scientific foundation. It was confirmed, that according to the “Golden Ratio” measurements, and other Greek tenets, the twenty-three-year-old Hadid has a face that is 94.35 per cent perfect.

Power Of Maths

To cut a long, old narrative short, most people who are not at ease with mathematics think that the subject is abstract, objective and brusquely devoid of sentiment. Right? Wrong. Maths, in reality, seems to have an astonishing power to tell us how things work — or, what the universe would tell us if we could only listen. While it is agreed that mathematical tools cannot substitute for creative insights, they can tangibly provide fresh, new perspectives at the drop of thought or question.

It is rightly said that finding out what is true is fundamental to the human mind. This is where maths comes in and offers us a precise set of tools for analysing and establishing the truth. The subject also provides us with a certain amazing precision to decipher an enormous range of issues from medicine and cosmic questions to specific matters of governmental policy.
