Beautiful, Damn Hard, Increasingly Useful. That's Fractals.

Engineering Is Too Important To Wait For Science.

For Much Of My Life There Was No Place Where The Things I Wanted To Investigate Were Of Interest To Anyone.

Regular Geometry, The Geometry Of Euclid, Is Concerned With Shapes Which Are Smooth, Except Perhaps For Corners And Lines, Special Lines Which Are Singularities, But Some Shapes In Nature Are So Complicated That They Are Equally Complicated At The Big Scale And Come Closer And Closer And They Don't Become Any Less Complicated.

If You Look At A Shape Like A Straight Line, What's Remarkable Is That If You Look At A Straight Line From Close By, From Far Away, It Is The Same; It Is A Straight Line.

A Fractal Is A Way Of Seeing Infinity.
