Just yesterday by a group of scientists was it discovered that there is no water on Mars. In 2006 was is announced that the images indicated water to flow on Mars and now thoughts have changed. Apparently, it is found that it was actually a landslide of sand and gravel. New images and computer simulations strongly display that it is not water, but a landslide. The landslide can explain the bright deposits in gullies, thought to be recent water flow. Water flows did not match the computer models, but showed a dry, granular material such as sand. The landslide was a perfect match with the model. Another theory scientists have is it could be thick mud with fifty to sixty percent of sediment similar to molasses or lava. "The simplest explanation is that it is dry, granular flow," Pelletier said. "We think that the simpler explanation is probably the correct one." This is a quote one the scientists working in the project had said.
In class a little while ago, we learned about the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio. Over seven hundred years ago a Italian mathematician, Fibonacci created the very famous Fibonacci sequence. The numbers 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 and so and so forth is his pattern. As you can see, to create the next number you take the sum of the two numbers before it. This sequence hadn't been named until the 19th century when a French mathematician, Édouard Lucas named it. After studying the Fibonacci sequence, he began to relize that any any pair of consecutive numbers is closer to the golden ratio-1.618. . .). Also as the numbers gets higher, the closer it is to the golden ratio. In the image shown below, Fibonni's sequence even comes across nature. Fibonacci's sequence is very important and is found everywhere.
