Resolution limits
Nonsense. Good gardeners trim to the subatomic level
I actually met Benoit Mandelbrot when I was an intern at IBM’s T. J. Watson research center in the late '80s. I was randomly walking around the building and passed by a tiny office with “B. Mandelbrot” on the door. I stuck my head in, saw an old bald dude sitting there and said “are you the Bernard Mandelbrot?” He said “yes” and I said “oh” and walked on. Apparently he didn’t hear that I said “Bernard” instead of “Benoit”.
What does the ‘B’ in Benoit B. Mandelbrot stand for?
Benoit B. Mandelbrot
this is a draft, the cartoonist is still working on the third panel
The devil is in the details.
Not a
mathematicianfractologist. Does the boundary have infinite length, or just infinite detail?Yes
It can’t have infinite length without infinite detail if you think about it.
Not in a finite space, no. But it could have infinite detail without infinite length (like the square with corners folded in to approximate a circle).
Can someone explain pls
From the mandelbrot boundary wiki: “Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications”
Thankyou. Even as a concept I find it creepy

Pathological monsters!
A splinter in my eye
Don’t look closer, or you won’t be able to come out ever again.
Just more turtles all the way down.
It definitelly doesn’t pay to be detail-oriented when doing a fractal lawn…
