About this listen

Felix Mercer introduces listeners to the mathematical universe that surrounds us every moment, exploring how the same equations govern heartbeats and hurricanes, spiral galaxies and nautilus shells. From fractal geometry in our circulatory systems to the golden ratio in art and nature, this episode reveals that mathematics isn't just a tool for describing reality—it appears to be woven into the fundamental structure of existence itself. Discover why music moves us mathematically, how your brain performs Fourier transforms, and why the patterns in your fingerprints follow the same principles as galaxy formation.
