The secret to how life is formed.
Now THERE is a questionable statement. But so subjective it could be argued till the end of the universe.

Mathematicians would argue either e or p is the most important constant in mathematics and physics. Pull them (not the Golden Ratio) out of the Fibonacci sequence and you might have a case.

BTW, the sequence is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,................, each number being the sum of the 2 preceding ones. In the limit, as n --> infinity, F(n-1)/F(n) --> 1.61803398874989484820...., the Golden Ratio.

If I googled everything, I would live at Google, and that would be very strange. I am struggling to live a mostly 3D life. So thanks.

I am not a math person, but the secret to how life is formed sounds intriguing.
