Fractals in nature

in #nature7 years ago

Few people pay attention, but these amazing figures are present everywhere. Nature is created from self-similar figures, we just do not notice it. It is enough to look through a magnifying glass on our skin or a leaf of a tree, and we will see fractals. Or take, for example, a pineapple or even a peacock's tail - they consist of similar figures. A variety of broccoli broccoli Romanescu generally amazes its appearance, because it truly can be called a miracle of nature.

It turns out that fractals are not only geometrical figures, they can be sounds. So, musician Jonathan Colton writes music using fractal algorithms. He claims that such a melody corresponds to natural harmony.

It turns out that in the chaos that surrounds us, in fact, there are ideal forms. Nature is the best architect, the ideal builder and engineer. It is arranged quite logically, and if we can not find the law, this does not mean that it does not exist. Maybe you need to look for it on a different scale. With confidence, we can say that the fractals keep a lot of secrets that we just have to open.

P.S. I just learn English and ask you to point out my mistakes.

Thanks, fractals are cool! I've noticed the broccoli before too. I should look into the theoretical part behind fractals now :)

P.S.: ... I just learn English ... --> ... I've just learned English ... (I think :P )

in the near future)
