> > Fractals appear completely randomly in nature, such as when snowflakes form, or when looking at mountain ranges. The random nature is used often as a guideline for other kinds of complex-looking phenomenon that have a random origin.

> Not sure I agree with the random origin, at least as applied to the alleged Fibonacci spiral galaxies. The reason is not because of any mystic acquaintance to the number, but rather to the fact that it can be explained very simply, naturally, and in a provable manner by the Plasma universe theory. There was a series of pictures in the Setterfield research paper (links from someone else's research) that actually shows spirals such as we seen in spiral galaxies forming from plasma arcs.
> -You need to do more research on snowflakes: The formation of those fractal crystals IS random; hence why "no two snowflakes look alike." In terms of mountain ranges, I direct you to Mandelbrot's book, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature." Randomized fractals perfectly replicate the topography of mountain ranges. (which makes sense since rock/mineral have varying degrees of crystallization.) -Fractals are built by taking a very very simple function, and simply repeating it ad nauseum; the result is something that looks ordered and highly complex. -> I think Setterfield made a mistake in putting his creationist views out there, but, that doesn't mean I don't consider the research he has done as valid. At the very least, it deserves some serious academic attention which is more than it is getting at the moment. Most of the negatives that I have seen about it have either been ad hominem attacks, or attacks on his math using the Einsteinian Theory of Relativity instead of Lorentz's Theory of Relativity, which his research is based on.-Fire me the link. I've been known to do hard damage to bad math.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
