| Posted By: steve stehle Posted On: Feb 3, 2012 Views: 1006 | a fractal to build a "Koch snowflake" you start with an equilateral triangle and recursively draw another equilateral triangle on the middle third of all previously drawn triangles etc. It is known that the "limiting" figure is bounded and appears to be totally visible. Is this the case or is this snowflake merely coming into existence tho it appears to be empirically sensed? |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Feb 4, 2012 Views: 1001 | RE: a fractal The "Koch snowflake" is infinite because it is always possible in theory to progressivly divide a line into thirds, although in practice of course it cannot be done. We know that infinity exists in mathematics and in theories, that is a given, the question I asked is does it exist in the real world? |
