Revelation from Mike Ratliff: The Square is Golden Rectangle



2015-10-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo Aerial photo by Jason Mardis (c); Notations & Revelations by Dr. Mike Ratliff.
It should no longer be Greek to any of us:
Dr. Mike Ratliff of Lindsey Wilson College's Math Department, who studied at The University (the one in Fayetteville; not the one in Pulaski Co., AR), has analyzed dimensions of the Columbia Square and finds it almost exactly matches that of the Greek Divine Rectangle, the most pleasing dimension, (5/8 they told us up at Columbia Grade Center) known to the ancient Greeks.
