On Fractal Cosmology
By Lori Gardi
The universality of fractals in nature is one of the greatest mysteries that faces theoretical physics today. Although fractals do appear at all scales from quantum to cosmos, the proponents of the standard model of cosmology continuously try to prove that the Universe is not fractal. There is much more to fractal cosmology than the fractal distribution of galaxies. Fractals in nature are not just accidents of random or chaotic dynamics. The Universe, when modeled as an iterated wave function system, is able to explain many of the mysteries of cosmology including the apparent accelerated expansion of the Universe as well as the true nature of time as an emergent properties of change brought about by the iteration process. Iteration generates change and change gives us the sensation of time. All physical laws, including gravity, entropy and evolution are emergent properties of the iteration process. The fractal patterns that we see in our Universe, including galaxies and galaxy clusters, are not accidents, but intrinsic to the system itself. Black holes are also emergent and self-similar. The formula for the Mandelbrot set IFS is a good example of how self-similar black holes can emerge from fractal geometry. Embrace the fractal paradigm.
