Title: Fractal black holes Post by: Tglad on April 29, 2014, 01:43:03 AM Interesting article from NewScientist- http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25472-turbulent-black-holes-grow-fractal-skins-as-they-feed.html
This correlates with my slightly eccentric idea that black holes are the real 3d (or rather 4d) Mandelbrot set. If the black hole surface is turbulent and fractal then its dimension is greater than 2... if (as one would expect from a 3d Mandelbrot) its dimension is 3 then maybe it resolves the black hole paradox, which is how the information of a fallen in 3d object can be displayed on the black hole's surface which is only 2d... the suggested resolution was the holographic principle that the 3d world can be represented by information on its 2d horizon... but this hasn't been proven AFAIK.
