Pictures were completely eliminated from mathematics; in particular when I was young this happened in a very strong fashion.

There are very complex shapes which would be the same from close by and far away.

When people ask me what's my field? I say, on one hand, a fractalist. Perhaps the only one, the only full-time one.

A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale.

Humanity has known for a long time what fractals are. It is a very strange situation in which an idea which each time I look at all documents have deeper and deeper roots, never (how to say it), jelled.

Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere
