Science has been trying for millennia to tell us what beauty is. And she also tries to make us know that beauty can be calculated.
So again! Dr. Julian De Silva from the Center for Applied Facial Surgery and Plastic Surgery in London has combined ancient Greek philosophies on beauty (the teachings of aesthetics) with the most advanced calculation methods, compiling a list of the 10 most beautiful women in the world.
Of course, one has to say that Dr. De Silva also has to feed his computer with data so that he can calculate the beauty of these people. And of course he did not have the data of all the women in the world and from all times. He entered the data of numerous prominent women to find out which of them has the most perfect face (size and symmetry). The result was percentages that indicate how close these women are to perfection.
Dr. De Silva stresses that his study does not want any women to feel worse or better than others. He just found it interesting to see which women today are almost perfectly beautiful by ancient Greek standards.
These are the 10 most beautiful women in the world:
10. Jennifer Lawrence (89.24%)
