    Nonsense. Good gardeners trim to the subatomic level

  I actually met Benoit Mandelbrot when I was an intern at IBM’s T. J. Watson research center in the late '80s. I was randomly walking around the building and passed by a tiny office with “B. Mandelbrot” on the door. I stuck my head in, saw an old bald dude sitting there and said “are you the Bernard Mandelbrot?” He said “yes” and I said “oh” and walked on. Apparently he didn’t hear that I said “Bernard” instead of “Benoit”.

  What does the ‘B’ in Benoit B. Mandelbrot stand for?

  Benoit B. Mandelbrot

  There’s a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.

  Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there’s always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

    Try Canada on for size.

  The devil is in the details.

  Not a mathematician. Does the boundary have infinite length, or just infinite detail?

    Yes

    It can’t have infinite length without infinite detail if you think about it.

      Not in a finite space, no. But it could have infinite detail without infinite length (like the square with corners folded in to approximate a circle).

  Don’t look closer, or you won’t be able to come out ever again.

    This is a fractal made from the Mandelbrot set. I guess the joke is that the more you zoom in the edges the more detail there is, so doing them would be pretty much impossible.

      This shows the phenomenon pretty well. I like to watch this once in a while to remind myself that I know nothing about anything.

    From the mandelbrot boundary wiki: “Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications”

      Thankyou. Even as a concept I find it creepy

  It definitelly doesn’t pay to be detail-oriented when doing a fractal lawn…
