NOVA | Fractals | The Hidden Dimension (2014)

What do movie special effects, the stock market, and heart attacks have in common?

They are connected by a revolutionary new branch of math called fractals, which changed the way we see the world and opened up a vast new territory to scientific analysis and understanding.


Meet the mathematicians who developed fractals from a mere curiosity to an approach that touches nearly every branch of understanding, including the fate of our universe.


Not an endorsement of the Koch brothers agenda in any way.
