Abstract
In his paper, Conway presents his remarkable findings, leaving the task of careful examination and verification to us. He unveils a special link between the extraFib series and the Empire State Building, and reveals an unexpected relationship between Fibonacci numbers, Lucas numbers, and trigonometric formulas. This fresh concept, labeled "Fibonometry," underscores the potential connections between diverse mathematical concepts. As we engage with this paper, we take on the responsibility of exploring and confirming these intriguing mathematical relationships.
