Just watched Pi.... some questions...

[LOLyourFace]

I've heard of the whole Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio embedded in world but just how much is it legit?

With quick google results, I hear mixed responses. Some say the ratio does reveal itself in our surroundings and others say it only applies to very narrow stuff (i.e: seashell)

Also what happened in the end of the movie? Did he kill himself or simply got rid of his God-given gift?

AND WHY ON EARTH DID HE NOT TAP THAT ASS?

The golden ratio appears in many places in nature (including people)

I think if you take a persons height and divide by arm span, on average you get the golden ratio.

However, all this has been know for hundreds of years and has been dicussed to death by mathematicatians for ages. Its not cutting edge mathematics like the movie pretends... its old news.

I read somewhere that 216 had some kind of spiritual significance in ancient times because it was was the product of the first 3 cubes: 1^3 * 2^3 * 3^3 = 216. I guess people just like everything in threes so much that it seemed like a natural choice.

I thought that movie was hilarious... I mean... come on. You can predict the stock values by using the newspaper and a spiral? What if a stock drops off, or a stock is added to the list? What if the newspaper decides to extend the listing over 2 pages? I was LOLing when I saw that part.

He got rid of the gift. And he probably did "tap it" after he did. Until then his mind was too singularly focused. Note that the science is pretty implausible in this movie, but who cares, it's an allegory for smelling the roses anyway, IMO.

I thought that he just gave up his gift. I recall at the end, he was just sitting on the park bench and "vegging."

Yep, he basically give it up. To prevent him from having further migranes like the ones he was having.
