    		Phi usually represents the golden ratio, 1.618.

    It can also stand for many other constants in mathematics and physics.

    		"At least since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing."
