The Intricate and Beautiful World of Fractals

Okay, enough lovey dovey posts for awhile.  Currently Regina is getting dumped on my mother nature's wonderful snow and it appears that there is no end in sight.  I just finished shovelling my walk only to come inside seeing that the walkway is covered already.  So instead of shovelling again, its time to explore the complex world of fractals!

What are fractals?  They're complex objects or a quantity that displays somewhat of a self similarity on all scales.  In the mathematical world fractals represent an infinite dimension.  Today fractals are used in many applications such as computer graphics and even in sewing., in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales.  Because the definition and explanation of fractals is quite complex, I have added a Nova documentary on it as Nova explains this phenomena with clarity and ease.  The examples shown in the documentary shows just how complex our world really is.  Things are not as they seem.  I hope you enjoy this video as it is interesting and somewhat mind boggling!

You learn something new everyday!
