Seven Stress Harmonics, Mk II. [Also Comics, again]

Someone with more math than I says something I've said a million times before:

And I still think of Angels as architecture and Permutational Algorithms.

Cheers.

[4.01pm: Throughout my tenure at The A.V. Club, I have cheekily proposed running a story titled, "Comic books: now they're just for kids!" to lampoon the endless deluge of well-intentioned but thoroughly bone-headed "Comic books: they aren't just for kids anymore!" articles that still pop up in newspapers and magazines. By now, it's old news that the comic books can tackle subject matter more mature and nuanced than Jughead's love of burgers and Scrooge McDuck's periodic swims in his money vault. ]

I don't mean to come in and be excessively contrary, but this is little more than numerology repackaged with a "Da Vinci Code" style conspiracy theory. mathematical parallels and coincidences aren't surprising, they're the most obvious and easiest conclusion. It doesn't make sense for the simple equations of quantum physics to suddenly break down and formulate completely contrary patterns. Spinning atoms, spinning planets, spinning galexies... That's not surprising, it's an obvious progression. The golden ratio and all the physiology is just as obvious because the base replicating agents in RNA and DNA are nothing more than extensions of those same patterns and ratios, just like a growing crystal.

Like I said, I hate to be contrary, but this guy is making mountains out of mole hills and acting like nobody sees them but him, which isn't the case at all.

I'm going to give it a more thorough read, and see what I think, then, but at first blush it seems like he's more concerned with what the ratios can do than the fact that they exist.
