Fractals :)

So now there’s a topic of discussion that I know a thing or two about and absolutely love! 🙂
Fractals. They’re EVERYWHERE! Everyday we go through life using fractals and just math in general. It’s an amazing thing that is literally used in every job, in every day life, and by everyone. Fractals, just happen to be a really cool part of everyday life that most people wouldn’t see unless they were told to.
Some people may look at fractals, or even math in general and think that it’s stupid or not needed. They may think that the subject is boring or complicated/confusing. I’m looking at fractals and the general subject of math as a way to communicate in many different ways. I see beauty in fractals because I see everyday life in fractals.
Fractals weren’t around right away, and when they first came to be, just like any other new idea, they were frowned upon and laughed at. The beauty in self-similarity in fractals, is like the beauty of self-similarity in families and snow flakes. Every family member is different, but yet you can tell what person belongs to what family based on similarities. The same goes for snow flakes. No two snow flakes are alike, but yet they all are similar because they all come together and form snow. This same concept goes for fractals. Fractals are those snow flakes. Fractals are plants and fabric and anything you can come up with. They really are everywhere and they really are beautiful.
