Fractal Universe


-->


In physical cosmology, fractal cosmology is a set of minority cosmological theories which states that the distribution of matter in the Universe, or the structure of universe itself, is fractal. More generally, it relates to the usage or appearance of fractals in the study of the universe and matter. A central issue in this field is the fractal dimension of the Universe or of matter distribution within it, when measured at very large or very small scales.
Fractals are encountered in both observational and theoretical cosmology, make an appearance at both extremes of the range of scale, and have been observed at various ranges in the middle. Similarly the use of fractals to answer questions in cosmology has been employed by a growing number of serious scholars close to the mainstream.... –Wikipedia

Fractal Universe


It is of no consequence
whether our questing focus is within
or without:
Mandelbrot decrees
that the pattern reduces or increases
forever.
Slight variations may occur,
but make no change to mathematical
perfection.

Logical and natural progression
I accept, and seek to find my place
in the Pattern.
