THE GOLDEN APPROXIMATION

Ricardo Oddone Geraldo Snel from Brasil, believes PHI is in the ball and also puts in the Golden Approximation - WH

According to the picture (of the resistorball - WH), Fibonacci numbers probably have something to do with the ball resistance, too.

What about soldered resistors building up a log-spiral? Will the resistance value converge at infinite length? Check log antennas...

Besides "Golden Ratio" and "Golden Equations" (e. g. exp (i*pi) + 1 = 0) we have at least one "Golden Approximation" in electronics:

2^10 ~ 10^3

It follows of course that 1 K ~ 1 k, but also (taking log base 10):

10 log 2 ~ 3 (dB).
