"All pattern and colour and nothing behind it. I like very abstract art (being an artist myself) but there seemed to be no artistic sense in choosing the pictures and, seemingly without theme, it left me cold.,"
"The butterfly effect, nonlinear functions Vs. Linear, turbulence, fractal art, chaos theory, strange attractors, juxtapositions, reflectaphors, and so many more intriguing topics were discussed in this book.
The ones I find most interesting are Hyperion's strange, unpredictable orbit around Jupiter, which since the times of Newton has remained unexplained. Fractals in general can be used to explain so many aspects of reality. It is a great fortune to have computers capable of rendering and displaying these intricate formulas. It brings us one step closer to replicating the natural world. Self-similarity is very apparent on many scales on earth. Even the nebulous clouds in space are reminiscent of the clouds here on Earth. Atoms resemble solar systems, it is as if life is one big fractal."
