密码（Code) : 数字， 形状， 预测 - ( BBCDocumentary )

 

 

[数字] Du Sautoy reveals a hidden numerical code that underpins all nature. A code that has the power to explain everything, from the numbers and shapes we see all around us to the rules that govern our own lives. In this first episode, he reveals how significant numbers appear throughout the natural world.

They're part of a hidden mathematical world that contains the rules that govern everything on our planet and beyond.

[形状] Du Sautoy searches for natural patterns, beginning with the hexagonal columns of Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway, and moving on to everything from honeycombs to soap bubbles, claiming such formations are far from random but part of a hidden code that governs the world.

He also applies the theory to mountains, clouds and trees, and reveals how it could have helped in the creation of movie animations - with a visit to the Pixar studios - and abstract paintings.


[预测] Du Sautoy looks at what happens next. He looks at the ability to predict a lunar eclipse, overturns the lemming's suicidal reputation, avoids being crushed to death, reveals how to catch a serial killer and discovers that the answer to life, the universe and everything isn't 42 after all - it's 1.15.
