Sorry, no time today to go off on such diversions. However, I'm hoping Zeno's paradox may allow my life expectancy to extend infinitely, so, perhaps one day…

Did you know that adjacent Fibonacci numbers are approximately the conversion between miles and kilometres?

e.g. 5 and 8. 8 and 13, 13 and 21 etc.

So Fibonacci and the Golden Ratio gives us a correlation between the size of a human being, (miles are related to the size of a man's stride), and the size of our planet, (which defines the kilometre). Weird, and a bit spooky.

1 mile = 1.609344 km, phi = 1.618. Not very exact. There are a huge number of numerical coincidences most of which have no significance. "Correlation does not imply causation."

Michael,

I would look with interest at the link you posted but I have an aversion to the blocking feature telling me the site values my privacy [as if] and requiring me to accept that before I can see what it is about.

So, thanks for the opportunity but not for me

Regards Brian

Brian,

I simply rejected all cookies, and objected to all declarations of ‘legitimate interest’

Don’t worry though … the article is brief, and probably offers nothing that most of us don’t know already.

I just offered it for some Sunday Morning entertainment.

Thank you Michael, I was able to get straight to the article, something I would just have ignored previously.

I do find all this data harvesting rather sinister and am baffled as to where, why and with whom it resides

Thank you for helping me get to what was actually quite interesting.

Regards Brian

You’re welcome, Brian

… some sites do make rejection [and particularly objection] very tedious, but that one is not bad.

I still don’t understand what constitutes ‘Legitimate Interest’ but I object to it on principle !
