Scientists discover fractal patterns in a quantum material
As someone who&#x27;s studied fractals, written commercial fractal art software, given talks about fractals, etc... it amazes me how the topic is such a magnet for pseudoscientific types, the sort who would get a high score on the Baez crackpot index.<p>They come to you after the talk etc and excitedly say that whatever was in your talk proves their theory that, say, &quot;time is a fractal&quot;, or &quot;life is a fractal&quot;, ... of course never with any rigorous quantitative justification.
