- Golden ratio
The golden ratio, also known as the golden proportion,
golden mean, golden section, golden number, divine
proportion or sectio divina, is an irrational number,
approximately 1.618 033 988 749 894 848, that possesses many interesting
properties.
Shapes proportioned according to the golden ratio have long been considered
aesthetically pleasing in
Western cultures, and the golden ratio is still used frequently in art and
design, suggesting a natural balance between symmetry and asymmetry. The ancient
Pythagoreans, who defined
numbers as expressions of ratios (and not as units as is common today), believed
that reality is numerical and that the golden ratio expressed an underlying
truth about existence.

- Louvre-largest museaum in the world
The Louvre Museum (Mus�e du Louvre, pronounced /muze dy luvʁ/ in French) in Paris, France, is one of the largest and
most famous museums in the world. The
building, a former royal palace, lies in the centre of
Paris, between the Seine river and the Rue de
Rivoli. Its central courtyard, now occupied by the Louvre glass pyramid,
lies in the axis of the Champs-�lys�es, and thus
forms the nucleus from which the Axe historique
springs. Part of the royal Palace of the Louvre was first opened to the public
as a museum on November 8, 1793, during the French Revolution.
- The Last Supper
In the
Christian faith, the Last Supper was the last meal Jesus shared with his apostles before his
death. The Last Supper has been the subject of many paintings, perhaps the most
famous by Leonardo da Vinci.
The meal is discussed at length in all four Gospels of the canonized Bible.
The meal is considered by most scholars likely to have been a Passover seder, celebrated on the Thursday
night (Holy Thursday) before
Jesus was crucified on Friday (Good
Friday). This belief is based on the chronology of the Synoptic Gospels, but
the chronology in the Gospel of John has the
Last Supper occurring before the Passover, for in that Gospel, Christ's death
occurs at the time of the slaughter of the Passover lambs (this latter
chronology is the one accepted by the Orthodox Church). For
this reason, others argue that a thorough examination of the Gospels indicates
that the Last Supper was on a Tuesday, and that Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday
(see When Christ Died, and
Rose).
