What exactly are fractals and why do they even have a pattern

284 views

The only thing I got about fractals is that if you keep zooming you will see the same pattern repeated, but I don’t get it. First of all, you have to zoom on the border, so you technically can’t zoom anywhere and you get the same pattern, second why is the Mandelbrot so weird? Why all those weird shapes? Couldn’t it just be something normal? Also, why you can dezoom from a Mandelbrot fractal and those weird things happen. It’s just too complicated for my little brain

There are no consensus definition of what a fractal is. Mathematicians have some ideas as to what a fractal should be, but a precise definition that capture these ideas had not been found. The reason fractals have self-similarity pattern is because things that are not that are not called fractals. “something normal” are not called fractals.
