How does the Universe impose its fractal-like patterns of order on chaotic systems? (Strange Universe series)
This is a further look at question 1 of the 12 previous Strange Universe questions at the bottom of the details.
We see fractal-like images in many places as we look at nature. Some of them are constructed very quickly. If we had to calculate the fractal shape using a supercomputer, it would take a great deal of computer time. But the Universe does it in real-time. How does it accomplish this?
Here are some examples of fractal-like images that nature forms:
Fractals Everywhere video with sound/
A mathematically generated tree. Video without sound.
Repeating patterns of a Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction.
How does that detail all get into a tiny seed? How does it get into a single strand of DNA? In the tiny molecules of the chemical soup in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction?
This is a continuation in the Strange Universe series.
