My favorite examples of fractal art from more recent times include da Vinci’s Turbulence (1500), Hokusai’s Great Wave (1830), M.C. Escher’s Circle Series (1950s) and, of course, Pollock’s ...

For decades, cosmologists have wondered if the large-scale structure of the universe is a fractal — that is, if it looks the same no matter how large the scale.

He gave his brainchild an evocative name: fractal. Today, fractals are icons. They have escaped the confines of mathematics; their presence is felt in art, music, the financial sector and linguistics.

For decades, cosmologists have wondered if the large-scale structure of the universe is a fractal: if it looks the same no matter the scale. And the answer is: no, not really. But in some ways, yes.

Fractal patterns in art and nature are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, according to the study published in PNAS Nexus. This summary was AI-generated and reviewed by CNN editors. CNN — ...
