Title: Fractal Gonorrhea Post by: oftakofta on January 15, 2010, 01:51:51 PM Yesterday I botched my coating and staining procedure for my electron microscopy study of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The image may not be useful for my research, but it definitively has fractal beauty. Nature likes to keep it fractal all the way, from galaxies down to 20x20 µm patches and further.

Although most think that mathematics is the definition, i believe Yhwh is the defining element and the mathematics is the model. The fact that our model shows this behaviour which for a long time mathematicians would not accept, and i mean 17th century plus mathematicians, is indicative of how good or model is. Its just our interpretation of these things which is crap! Its hard to believe that mathematicians used to frown on the use of computing algorithms in a method of proof! How weird is that!
The picture actually reminds me of brain cell development pictures showing the growth of connections after learning. Yh~h by the way is my "god" of nature(Natura).

My belief is that mathematics defines the fundamental rules whereas *insert your God here* created the specific dynamical state of existence which we try to decode based on given states and the mathematical rules - however I believe "there's always another variable" applies so we'll never achieve a perfect model of existence ;) (In fact I'd guess "there's always another dimension"). |
