SAD THING IS.. my friend one day if we dont do something that might hapen anyway

Yeah when I scrolled down the numbers I seen something odd as well - I didn't piece it into being a DNA strand though. If that actually is the Golden Ratio then the fact that it matches with the shape of a DNA strand is funny. But they could have just used the first digits of the Ratio and through in random numbers to give it the effect.
And I don't see myself as gullible - I'm merely investigating a peculiar site.

Thankyou, to you to, now im really freaked lol im like , i dont know lol
The width of the DNA molecule is 20 angstroms, to the nearest integer (1 angstrom = 10-8 cm). One 360 degree turn of DNA measures about 34 angstroms in the direction of the axis. These lengths, 34 :20, are in the ratio of the Golden Mean Φ , within the limits of the accuracy of the measurements (compare 1.7 with 1.618… ). It is remarkable that its two dimensions, rounded off to the nearest integer, are so close to two Fibonacci numbers. Each DNA strand contains periodically recurring phosphate and sugar subunits. There are ten such phosphate-sugar groups in each full 360 degree revolution of the DNA spiral, the average vertical distance between base pairs being 3.4 angstroms. The amount of rotation of each of these subunits around the DNA cylinder is therefore 36 degrees. This is exactly half the pentagon rotation, showing a close relation of the DNA sub-unit to the Golden Mean and refuting the suggestion that the closeness of the length and width of one helical turn of the DNA double helix is merely coincidental.
The coiling of the two helical strands of the DNA molecule creates a major groove 22 angstroms wide and a minor groove 12 angstroms wide. Their relative proportion is 22/12 ≈ 1.545… .This differs from the Golden Ratio Φ only by about 4.5%.
