When you speak to people that understand fractals, they say everywhere and everything is fractals. I have tried to understand fractals but I am completely lost, can someone please explain it like I’m 5?

Question

Side note: I tend to find these people very eccentric, I sorta feel like they can see the matrix 🙂 I am absolutely fascinated by this but completely lost 🙂

The world’s greatest [math educator](https://youtu.be/gB9n2gHsHN4). Change my mind. This deep dive on what it means to have some n dimensions and how that relates to being a fractal is hugely beneficial to not only answering your question, but also understanding more patterns that show up across mathematics.

I can’t say anything that would add to the genius that is the video linked. I can say, I have a math minor. I’ve watched this video 5 or 6 times I love it so much, and even though I understood the general overview first time, I still catch new things every time. So I can highly recommend watching multiple times.
