Fractals and nature

I was looking at a fractal image created by Deb on her blog, Stargazer's Space and the thought came to me - I wonder if the algorithm that creates it (bird wing like images) is close to the mathematical description of the forces that create the actual wings? Like the pictures of mountains or trees that fractal programs create?

This would fit with a previous idea that I had -> That living things try to express themselves as fractal patterns but are checked, trimmed, pruned as they grow and that adds the element of randomness that makes trees, wings, mountains, etc. look the way they do. I call the process a Bonsai Fractal Function, alluding to the trimming done to bonsai trees.

Speculations and an odd Poem

(Weird. I thought I had put this up a long time ago, but I just found it as a saved draft.)


Speculations on Cosmology -->

Interstellar dust, not the doppler effect, causes the redshift.

Black Holes are unstable. Once they reach a certain size they explode. This would explain the large voids that are seen in betweeen the galactic clusters.

There was no Big Bang. There will be no Big Crunch.

The Universe is temporally and spatially infinite.
Time ->
There was no begining and there will never be an end to the Universe.
Space->
There is no begining and there is no end to the Universe.



“So far as modern science is concerned, we have to abandon completely the idea that by going into the realm of the small we shall reach the ultimate foundations of the universe. I believe we can abandon this idea without any regret. The universe is infinite in all directions, not only above us in the large but also below us in the small. If we start from our human scale of existence and explore the content of the universe further and further, we finally arrive, both in the large and in the small, at misty distances where first our senses and then even our concepts fail us.”
Emil Wiechert - 1896
(from "Infinity in all Directions" - Freeman Dyson)

Nasza Mama (a poem in Polish and English)

Nasza kochana Mama modli sie co dzien z rana Potem, gotuje, pierze, prasuje syje, czysu i sszoruje. Nasa mama, birthing in orbit modern sea, ancient sky Totems of technos, piercing, passing, thru circles not there.
Cradles of Life, Coffins of death, Ships of serenity See come see! syzygy. I cry, you cry, cry we, cry three. Mother of Eternity Shining star of Life Nasa Mama Birthing in orbit

a very short story

I'm not much of a writer. I've tried a couple of times to start writing science fiction stories since i love to read them so much, but I just can't seem to do it. i can think up weird and wild ideas to include, but i can't do characterization and dialogue. Oh Well.

Anyway, I did write this short story, It's not very good but i'm gonna post it anyway. So few people read my blog, that it doesn't matter if it sucks! hahahahahaha!

Alien Attack by W.D.

Well it finally happened. The aliens came. And they attacked. They did it without saying a word. No mesages, no contact. We didn't even see their faces. All we saw was their ship. It was about a quarter the size of the moon and they parked it on the opposite side of the earth from our natural satellite. And then the bombardment began. They shot at us with mile long tungsten bullets which hit our earth like incoming asteroids. On the first day they hit Mecca, Medina, Jersusalem, and Rome. On the second day it was Tripoli, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Baghdad, Tehran, and Islamabad. On the third day they hit New Delhi, Beijing, Pyongyang, Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow. For the next 26 days there was one bullet every day. Each one directed at the largest city by population that was left. And after one full Lunar cycle they left. We only received one message from them as they were going. They said..... "War is Hell. You can choose It, or you can choose Heavenly Peace." "If you continue to choose to war amongst yourselves, we will come back and annihilate you so you cannot spread your savagery to other worlds." "If you choose peace, then, when you have finished rebuilding and finally are capable of travelling to other Stars, you will be welcomed into the Galactic Community." "The Choice is Yours."
