Title: The fractal dimension of bread
Post by: Chillheimer on January 21, 2015, 03:09:58 PM
-Of wheat bread, to be precise is:

2.69

that's it for todays random snippet of useless but fascinating information ;)

LOL.

That's between the von Koch surface and Menger sponge.

"Sir, would you like your bread more Kochy or rather a bit Mengery?"

I'd like it to be multifractal please, love the Mengery crust and Kochy crumbs ;)

Just look like a fractal, the plane slice look like tangent MANDELBORT and JULIA set, and whole 3D layer look like a one MANDELBOX fractal presented at chapter MANDELBULB SOFTWARE at FRACTALFORUMS. :educated: :music:

 ;D lol ... this made my day

Conclusion

The fractal dimension of a broccoli is 2.66.

Sources of Error

It was difficult to measure the diameter of irregular pieces. We were forced to average the major and minor axes.
It was very difficult to determine where to split the broccoli as the size became smaller.
It was ever more difficult to accurately split it, some of the buds shed off when it was being handled.
