Yes it is. It is connected to the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987...). Read The Golden Ratio by Mario Livio- an amazing book that is suitable for beginners.
Divine Proportion is another book on Phi with beautiful illustrations and you can buy a used copy.

Golden Ratio. Another example of the beauty of physics.

For any future questions regarding that book:
The Da Vinci code is fiction! Dangit!

Well, Brown did add it in there just to add it in there...
...but the ratio is indeed real, as well as fascinating.
