Fractals: Hunting the Hidden Dimension

What do movie special effects, the stock market, and heart attacks have in common? They are connected by a revolutionary new branch of math called fractals, which changed the way we see the world and opened up a vast new territory to scientific analysis and understanding. Meet the mathematicians who developed fractals from a mere curiosity to an approach that touches nearly every branch of understanding, including the fate of our universe. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://video-clump.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Fractals.mp4"][/video]   A look at fractal geometry, and how it is found just about everywhere in everything, and how the mathematics of fractals can be used to model and measure such things as mountains, coastlines, telephone line noise and heart rhythm. It also shows how they are used in animation, communications and textile design. Fractals In mathematics a fractal is an abstract object used to describe and simulate naturally occu
