Description
This paper details dynamical systems that describe the formation of spider webs. Like many things in nature, the golden ratio is present in spider webs due to its structural enhancements as well as central configurations that have masses lying at intersection points. Learning about things as small as spider webs have furthered our understanding of things as large as the rings of Saturn.
