Fascinating fractals

"Mountains are not cones, clouds are not spheres, and rivers are not straight lines" -- Benoit Mandelbrot.

-------------------------------------
For Benoit Mandelbrot, fractals are the "geometry of nature."

You might want to read it for the beautiful theory...
or for all the beautiful figures..... :-)

    I had first seen these in linux.. there was just something called fractals (i hadnt even heard the term then) and i just clicked on it ..

    It took me some time to see one of those beautiful fractals.. there was infinite zoom in and out and the more u play the more beautiful they would become.. it was extremely exciting :)

    I had started thinking tel has killed the blogger in you :) good to see u back.

    i heard about fractals from jins who had decided to take a seminar on it. i dont know why he changed his topic.

    as u wrote, its worth to think on that for both its beautiful theory and beautiful figures...
