African Fractals
Right ok, so again, the universe has humbled me PROPERLY. *grin*
One of my recent discoveries was from the field of feng shui, and the "wrongness" of 90 degree angles. Correlates astoundingly closely to the "anti-green" theory. Simply put, all chlorophyll based life is green, fact. The answer is given that white light, when broken into spectrum, consists of a number of differents "phases" each one correspnding to an angle. In the case of green, that angle is 90 degrees. Also the most likely angle to cause DESTRUCTIVE interference in any wave set.
So, the question then becomes, if we do not use our euclidian geometry to create our living spaces, what the hell do we use? The answer of course is fractals. Ok, maybe not "of course, but think about it ;-)
Which brings under our analytical microscope the surprising fact that africans use fractals on a daily basis. Being african, i had to find out more.
Go see the above link. Not only an astounding look into african beliefs, but also a brilliant introduction to fractals, what they are, how they work. Interactive too.
Certainly one of the best web sites i've seen for a long time.
