Plarkreluke Banloboh Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 On average, the painters produced their most highly valued work when they were 41.92 years old; they had lived just under 62 percent of their total lives. Specifically, “the average fraction (of their life) is 0.6198,” he writes, calling that “quite striking.” That’s because the famous Golden Ratio or Golden Mean—familiar to artists, mathematicians, and architects for millennia—is approximately 0.618. That’s the ratio you get when you divide a line into two parts, so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. http://www.psmag.com/blogs/news-blog/great-artists-hit-peak-creativity-70528/ ThisbodeswellforanypossibleforthcomingAphexTwinalbum;)butthenagainhedidsayhewasn'tgoingtodie..

ghsotword Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think for the life curve of musicians, the golden ratio also applies but the shorter part comes before the longer part. Life expectancy: 67.61 years Peak: 0.382*67.61=25.8 years http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/03/03/being-in-a-band-is-for-losers-scientific-proof/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
