There is innumerate me expecting to see the universe displayed like a sunflower, and all I got was (to me) totally incomprehensible maths.

I don't even know how much I don't know or would need to know in order to even begin to understand his insights.

Looks just the sort of thing to fascinate Theseus, and which I can't understand. So have copied it and will send him the link!

If anyone can understand it AND produce a gorgeous graphic for those of us of little brain, that would be lovely. At least I'm hoping it will; the Fibonacci sequence is one of the few bits of maths which I can access - if it's presented in pictures. Oh and fractals. They're pretty.
