I watched this the other night, it was about Benoit Mandelbrot and fractals, it was pretty damn cool. Talked about how nature that looks disorganized is really not that complicated and can be measured. They showed examples of how fractal geometry can be used to measure something as complex as a coastline, and also how some scientists are trying to predict the amount of co2 a large area of rainforest can absorb just be measuring some dimensions on one tree of the forest and then extrapolating from there how to measure the entire forest. It was a very cool show.

Re: Fractals
I also watched this. Fucking brilliant. Measuring the tree and all its dimensions at the end which predicted the placement of different diameter trees throughout the forest was incredible. Amazing stuff.
NOVA = WIN!! Love that show.

i like to think that we know next to nothing of universal nature or wateva, and the boundlessness and endlessness it has to offer us noobs.

I watched this same show last night and it was wicked. I esp loved the part they talked about the how the size of trees growing within a certain area was proportionate to the site of each independent branch on a tree. that blew my mindwww.mjwebhosting.com

Re: Fractals

Re: Fractals
I think it is safe to say we don't know a lot about a lot. This Fractals study may open the doors for a lot of future formulas and such. Magnetic fields is another thing we don't really know shit about.Comment

Re: Fractals
i once read something along the lines of ....
considering how much disparity there is on earthen terrain, from everst to the san marinas trench, the earth is as perfect a sphere as we can find. a lazer made cue ball has something like 200 times more disparity on its surface than that of earth...
we are very very small in the grand schemeyour life is an occasion, rise to it.
