A new view of the world through Fractal glasses

Hunting the Hidden Dimension Nova S35 E14 The episode aired Oct 28, 2008 I was aware of Fractals in general, as we all are. However, this presentation takes it to new heights. We learn that it is more about math. We get to see how fractals are not only a part of nature, but also have practical applications and potential for future disciplines. If you do not personally apply the information, at least you will be fractal literate. I am going to buy some of Benoit Mandelbrot’s books. The first one mentioned in the DVD is out of print (rare). Then I was surprised to see that fractals were applied to woven fabrics. I wonder if there is a pattern book or if I will have to make my drafts? I only saw the Blu-ray version, so I cannot compare. The pictures are crisp but not over-enhanced. There are very few to nil extras on the DVD as it is a direct copy of the NOVA program, including the sponsors.
