I Do Not Think I Had Never Heard Of Fractals,

until now,


 so what is a fractal? fractals are patterns that repeat at every scale, creating never-ending swirls, lines, and curves that have been loved in the natural, math, and art worlds for centuries, 

 UK physicist Tom Beddard previously from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, has produced 'Fabergé Fractals'

Beddard explains, 'the 3D fractals are generated by iterative formulas whereby the output of one iteration forms the input for the next, the formulas effectively fold, scale, rotate or flip space, they are truly fractal in the fact that more and more detail can be revealed the closer to the surface you travel, the fascinating aspect is where combinations of parameters can combine to create structural 'resonances' of extraordinary detail and beauty, sometimes naturally organic and other times perfectly geometric, but then like a chaotic system it can completely disappear with the smallest perturbation', all I know is that they look so neat, I just wonder how easy/difficult they were to make?
