Years ago is going great debate about the site Kaaba on the surface of the globe, and is structured debate whether the site that sacred spot for Muslims, to achieve what is known for the Golden Golden Ratio or divine figure, a figure you see in the human body in various plant organisms, in addition to their adoption by humans in historic monuments and paintings hundreds of years old.
The golden ratio is the mathematical constant discovered before birth, but he did not carefully calculated to in 1597 by the German mathematician Michael Maystln The exact value 1.6180339887
To simplify the idea of the golden ratio, to imagine that we have a straight line fixed-length, and we want his department to a large part and another small, when output is dividing the length of a large part to the small number equal to 1.618, the golden ratio between the large and small parts realized.
This ratio is found to architects, artists and engineers since ancient times they provide the degree of consistency and beauty better, used the pyramids in Egypt and in the "Parthenon" building, built by the Greeks 2,500 years ago, which is found to date in modern buildings like the Pentagon headquarters.
But before art and architecture, this golden ratio are present in every detail of the human body and various other organisms, so some call for the divine.
The ideal human regiment, for example, abounds with examples of the golden ratio exhibited by designers and artists measurements, The head is rectangular in shape and centralizing eyes line the golden ratio, as well as the ratio of the human leg between large and small Dzoah, and the same ratio applies to both parts of the arm, and the distance above and below the mouth.
In the Renaissance, artists relied on the golden ratio in their art, including the Mona Lisa famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci, who explained a book written by the Italian priest Luca Bashiwla for the golden ratio entitled De divinaproportione any "divine proportion".
Kaaba site
To return to the Kaaba site, the Muslims say there is miraculous divine in choosing the site Kaaba, making a golden ratio or divine proportion, in concert with the existence of this ratio in humans and other creatures, while they see as an indication of a single Creator of the universe.
And sure to match the site of the Kaaba for this ratio is very easy these days, especially with the availability of accurate measurement tools such as those provided by Google Earth program started. Which would put him next video.
Video shows the measurement of the distance between the Kaaba and the Antarctic which is 12361.17 kilometers, and then measure the distance between the Kaaba and the Arctic which is 7639.50 kilometers. When the division of the first number on the second result is 1.618 which is exactly the golden ratio, and anyone can workout this measurement process and the result will be 1.6, which constitute the golden ratio always.
But what about the Kaaba site for a linear east and west? It is impossible to make a previous measurement process in Google Earth, and must make a flat map of the measurement process.
Anyone can get an accurate flat map of the globe, such as NASA maps, and the application of the golden ratio along the map and display. And it is applied to the golden ratio by dividing the length of 1.618 on the map and do the same process for the map view.
When dividing the map into two horizontally according to the golden ratio passes the line that divides the map of Mecca, and when you divide the map into two vertically according to the golden ratio, the line that divides the map is boycotting the previous line at the site of the city of Mecca, as shown in the following map that length (5400 pixels) and display (2700 pixels).
