The Most Stunning Faces According To Science

Remember how your math teachers used to tell you that math is everywhere or that you'd use math all throughout your life? Well, if you were one of those students who rolled your eyes and complained about doing your algebra homework, you've probably since realized that your teacher was right. Sigh.

"The idea that everything is, in some sense, mathematical goes back at least to the Pythagoreans of ancient Greece and has spawned centuries of discussion among physicists and philosophers," Max Tegmark, a physicist and cosmologist, wrote in an article for Discover Magazine.

As Tegmark alluded to, the "golden ratio" was discovered in Ancient Greece. Simply put, this mathematical equation, which includes different proportions, is thought to be the most aesthetically pleasing formula. This ratio has been used by artists — you can spot it in the Mona Lisa — and has now even been applied to human faces. Using the golden ratio, Julian De Silva, a cosmetic surgeon in London, England, discovered the most aesthetically pleasing celebrity face and revealed his findings to Vogue. According to this Ancient Grecian formula, Amber Heard takes the cake.
