Could everything be fractal?
We know that coastlines and clouds are. Brocolli is. But what about the stars and galaxies, or even the entire universe. Different groups of scientists are interpreting the evidence in different ways, but one group says that the galaxies form fractal patterns.
Read the New Scientist article:

And one guy even thinks that space-time itself is fractal (it might have to be if the galaxies are not spread out evenly in a way that the big bang predicts). Thankfully the New Scientist article explains it better than the official site of the theory, which I cannot make head nor tail of:

Which has me thinking, if there is a uniform pattern throughout the universe, and it doesn’t make sense in terms of physics, could we be living in a computer simulation?
