Beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That's fractals.

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.

My mother cooked her last Christmas standing rib roast in 1987 and died a few weeks afterward.
