Benoît Mandelbrot : "emphasised the use of fractals as realistic and useful models of many natural phenomena" [img]
And it was 30 years ago (while at Yale) that he made up the word (fractals).
"Understanding does not mean approval" - Clancy had it in his latest novel, attributing it to Spock from Star Trek. Interesting comment - and somthing that is often ignored in our media-spotlight day... the only option is to condem - if you don't then you support it (be it militant islam, the war in Iraq, ...). Why is it so hard to actually take things at "face value"? Why do we have to demonize anything that we disagree with? And how does that reflect on our attention problems - and our willingness to solve them?
