Estoy llorando, supongo que como much@s…. Mis lágrimas caen sobre mi rostro… Recordando que dicha gotas de pena surcarán mi piel… Una piel lisa pero con infinitos valles. Esos valles que gente como este hombre me ha mostrado… Que el arte y la ciencia son la misma cosa, pureza, naturalidad, y simpleza lujuriosa de infinitos ángulos.

Las nubes no son esferas, las montañas no son conos, los litorales no son circulares, y los ladridos no son suaves, lo mismo que los relámpagos no viajan en línea recta.

De Introduction to The Fractal Geometry of Nature

Gracias gracias gracias… He visto un mundo que jamás podrás imaginar..He visto las depresiones de la superficie de una esfera. He recorrido la hoja de un helecho y he escalado una simple coliflor. He vivido en una montaña rusa en las gráficas de la economía. Gracias mis bronquiolos tendrán la esencia que nos demostraste…, el copo de nieve eterno de tu “espíritu”.

Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set And the Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born

His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
Left him well equipped to face those demons down
He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules
He used his giant brain to turn the game around
And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head
A bulbous pointy form
He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down

Take a point called Z in the complex plane
Let Z1 be Z squared plus C
And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
If the series of Z’s should always stay
Close to Z and never trend away
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set

Mandelbrot Set you’re a Rorschach Test on fire
You’re a day-glo pterodactyl
You’re a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You’re one badass fucking fractal
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way

Mandelbrot’s in heaven, at least he will be when he’s dead
Right now he’s still alive and teaching math at Yale
He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
And his geometry succeeds where others fail
If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings
From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home

Just take a point called Z in the complex plane
Let Z1 be Z squared plus C
And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
If the series of Z’s should always stay
Close to Z and never trend away
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
Mandelbrot Set you’re a Rorschach Test on fire
You’re a day-glo pterodactyl
You’re a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You’re one badass fucking fractal
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
Go on change the world in a tiny way
Come on change the world in a tiny way
