“The Fibonacci Sequence turns out to be the key to understanding how nature designs... and is... a part of the same ubiquitous music of the spheres that builds harmony into atoms, molecules, crystals, shells, suns and galaxies and makes the Universe sing.”
Guy Murchie, The Seven Mysteries Of Life: An Exploration of Science and Philosophy – A Quest for Knowledge and Discovery Across Interconnected Disciplines

“In other words there is something otherworldly about our existence here --something more than matter, more than the body and mind we have been discussing -- in short, something fundamentally and profoundly abstract. And I mention this aspect because it is not at all obvious, indeed scarcely notices by the great majority of us as we go about our daily lives.”
Guy Murchie, The Seven Mysteries Of Life: An Exploration of Science and Philosophy – A Quest for Knowledge and Discovery Across Interconnected Disciplines

“The family trees of all of us, of whatever origin or trait, must meet and merge into one genetic tree of all humanity by the time they have spread into our ancestries for about 50 generations.”
Guy Murchie
