"Typically by "differentiating" a thing they mean putting a wooden ruler between two points very near each other and recording which direction the ruler points at."

Thanks, Greysard.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand calculus and those who don't.

Those who don't understand calculus own 99% of the guns and know how to use them. The reason that you guys can commiserate about bizarre theories like fractals is that the rest of us appreciate smart guys and know that your type developed atomic bombs, computers and DDT.

Don't push it. :)

That must mean that all the points in the fractal are infinitely close.

One would think that there is some kind of lower bound like the Planck Length or something like that.

I only say that because i stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Be careful! They may have ray guns!
