Fractals Could Be Key to Understanding the Quantum World

Fractals, rough and irregular geometric shapes whose components have approximately the same form as the whole, may be the key to understanding the quantum world, physicists say. Endowed with the property of self-similarity, fractals can hardly be described by Euclidean geometry, in that they ... [ read more >> ]

No matter how high you zoom into fractals, their microscopic components hold the same shape as the unzoomed form
