Um…. Mr Mallett doesn’t seem to be aware that the orbital periods of some planets in our solar system are very close to powers of the golden ratio compared to earth’s period. For Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, the powers of the golden ratio are -3, -1, 5, and 7, respectively, accurate to a couple of decimal points.
I had a similar experience, was driving with moderately heavy traffic when I saw this muscle car in my rearview mirror weaving around all the cars at a much higher speed. He passed me and I watched him weave his way through the traffic until he disappeared over an overpass. When I got over the overpass, there he was on the side of the road getting cited by the highway patrol. My wife and I actually cheered out loud. As I’m sure everyone else did.
My son’s first word was “bu-yao!” (“don’t want!”) in Mandarin and “No!” in English. Both within about a week of each other. We speak English in the house but my wife was trying to speak to him in Mandarin whenever possible.
