I did a quick search but as far as I can tell there is no thread on this. Benoit Mandelbrot - who's work I'm sure we all know and love - passed away on October 14th. http://www.wired.com/gee...it-mandelbrot-1924-2010/Always sad when a genius exits this world  Methtical

Hum, who wants to go to britain with me to measure the length of its stretch of coastline as a tribute ?  To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something. -Benoit Mandelbrot Very true words. I always sucked at maths and found it incredibly boring. But I love all things Mandelbrot. Art Van D'lay wrote:Smoalk. It. And. See.

RIP Benoit Mandelbrot, Fractal Geometry opened my eyes to many things. Only wish I could have gave him a peak into DMT Experience, before he left.
SWIM found out about his work originally through a DMT experience. SWIM was watching looking at the ground and seeing patterns and forms come from the patterns, while hearing a thought in the back of his head repeating, "Mandelbrot".
Then soon after experience was over went and looked this up and started learning all about Fractal Geometry.
