What's The Restaurant Where Servers Are Rude

what looks like a fern, the coast and a snowflake?





All three are elements of nature. And three, with its complicated forms and repetitions seem fractals. And if you're wondering what the hell is a fractal, you will be surprised to know these fascinating structures that seem taken from a book that one of mathematics.

Fractals are geometric shapes, like triangles and rectangles, but special properties that distinguish themselves from them. First, they are very complex, any size. They have self-similarity , ie which can be divided into parts that are small copies of the total. Unlike other geometrical dimension is a fraction.































Fractals often look like objects of nature. Many objects natural, such as ferns, snowflakes, the coasts of the country rocks, have shapes similar to fractals.
An interesting thing about fractals is that their study is new and are currently being investigated.

Here you have a rather interesting video on fractals.
