Fibonacci's Fractals - Reaching out to FEBs

Can 'Fibonacci's Fractals' be applied to FET? the disc shaped earth appears to break this sequence.
Most cases are found on earth, however looking into the heavens also shows more fractals. Does the flat earth disc fit into this equation or are fractals just fabricated maths that have little or no meaning at all? Just the same was as humans tend to see human faces on inanimate objects, just seeing what we want to see.

After defining my search I see i have lots of reading to do...

The study of the fractal geometry of nature has already begun:

Fractals are little more than essentially an observed phenomenon. They only exist in theory, but "fractal-like" patterns are found throughout nature, some to extraordinary degrees. However, they are not laws of nature and the presence or absence of fractal patterns does not confirm or deny the validity of a hypothesis.

thanks, i find it quite interesting and will research more on this. do you know examples in nature where they dont exist? researching anything on the internet when there is lots of hippy crap surrounding it makes it hard to know the facts from fiction.

This is a little off topic but this post reminds me of one of thork's posts where he claims the planets (according to the RE definition) not corresponding to the Fibonacci Sequence is evidence for a flat earth.

I see what he means. However galaxies do.

Well technically there is no such thing as a perfect fractal in nature, so nature does not actually produce any fractals at all. There are fractal-like patterns, such as leaves and orbital structures, but it's just a name we've given to things that happen to be the same close as from afar.

I could point at a rock and say it's not a fractal, but it's sort of a fruitless exercise.

yeah true. i was thinking though. what about on a molecular level?

I'm afraid this is a little out of my area of knowledge. I'm not aware of fractal patterns at such small levels, but I don't see why they shouldn't exist:

But I want to stress that I don't know of any real significance of the fractal phenomenon above the fact that it is an interesting observation. I'm not saying that it isn't really cool, I just don't think it proves anything.

i was hoping levee would have some interesting ideas about it. i should just pm him.

 I eagerly await your conclussions.

In what ways do a spherical Earth continue a fractal pattern that a flat Earth do not?  I'm not sure I see where you're going with this and would like a bit of clarification on that.

I don't either. I was wondering if you guys have ever considered it. Perhaps with celestial gears?
