First Friday film, “PHI, The Evolution of Consciousness”

The First Friday Film at the UU Meetinghouse, Friday, Jan. 4, will be “PHI, The Evolution of Consciousness” at 7 p.m.

According to the movie website, “Phi [the symbol] is the name for the golden ratio, a mathematical key which the ancients considered to be the ‘signature of God.’ The reason for that is because everything in the natural world, from plants, animals, seashells, and even the spirals of galaxies are generated using the phi ratio in some way or another. What it teaches us is that things are self-similar; the same patterns we see at the microscopic level repeat themselves on larger and larger scales. We wanted to ask the question: does the golden ratio, the principle of self-similarity, apply to consciousness itself? So we decided to make a movie about it.”

The Springfield UU Meetinghouse is located at 21 Fairground Rd. in Springfield. Free admission and popcorn provided. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.; the film begins at 7 p.m. All are welcome.
