An interesting video of the discovery of fractals by Benoit Madelberot and the applications of fractals in nature and technology.

What is a fractal?

A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern. An example of this is the Menger Sponge. Fractals can also be nearly the same at different levels. This latter pattern is illustrated in the magnifications of the Mandelbrot set. Fractals also include the idea of a detailed pattern that repeats itself.

Sadly, that picture only makes sense if you watch the video, unless of course you understand fractal geometry. Although, I concede, it may be too much for the OT.
