Fractal Mathematics
Can the physical universe from macro to quantum be explained with one branch of mathematics? Is there a structure that can explain in mathematical terms a mountain range or be even to replicate one?
What about measuring the biomass of a forest? Can you accurately measure a coastline? Can a finite shape have an infinite perimeter? These questions and more can be explained with fractals which are the obvious patterns that we see in the physical universe, yet went unnoticed till relatively recently.
Fractals The Hidden Dimension is a video in HD 1080p by Nova.
Enjoy.

Mathematics will only come so close. In the quantum world things behave very differently. A quantum measurement would be much different then a mathematical measurement
It’s all fractal! Therein lies the problem and answers!
