What type of race is the golden ratio face?
In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger one equals the ratio of the larger one to the smaller. The golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887.[1] Other names frequently used for the golden ratio are the golden section (Latin: sectio aurea) and golden mean.[2][3][4] Other terms encountered include extreme and mean ratio,[5] medial section, divine proportion, divine section (Latin: sectio divina), golden proportion, golden cut,[6] golden number, and mean of Phidias.[7][8][9] The golden ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter phi, usually lower case (φ). The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship that defines this constant. Expressed algebraically: \frac{a+b}{a} = \frac{a}{b} = \varphi\,. This equation has as its unique positive solution the algebraic irrational number \varphi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\approx 1.61803\,39887\ldots\, [1] At least since
Dr. Stephen R. Marquardt is a Southern Californian doctor (oral and maxillofacial surgery) who researched whether there truly is a way to use the Golden Ratio to measure the perfect face everybody is attracted to. After controversially finding that human DNA structure contained a decagon that employed the measurements of the Golden Ratio–he used those findings in creating a grid-like face mask that held the perfect measurements of Phi. He then created a huge media sensation with that famous mask (see my blend and other picture of the mask in collection of pics above) and how it always lined up perfectly with the faces of supermodels and other people who end up on People Magazine’s Most Beautiful List. Yes, there was a glaring discrepancy there. The mask only applied to Caucasian people. When put over the face of say an African-American or Asian person–it didn’t fit. This sickening result rightfully created a huge uproar…and ultimately the thought that Marquardt and his foundation c
