If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal.

Why is geometry often described as cold and dry? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline or a tree.

Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.

There is a joke that your hammer will always find nails to hit. I find that perfectly acceptable

Both chaos theory and fractal have had contacts in the past when they are both impossible to develop and in a certain sense not ready to be developed.

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.

I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics.
