You do. Moreover you say it applies at all scales, because of your “fractal” paradigm, where you say “As above, so below”. 2:1 at the atomic level, 2:1 at the galaxy level, 2:1 at every “fractal layer”.

Odd “So you see the 2:1 there? ” Did I say I expected to? Bohr and Rutherford had a better grasp of electrons than you do, 100 years ago. Your science has actually taken us backwards in understanding. Swarming gravitrons? Lmao Distributed but fundamental? There’s two ridiculously opposite concepts. Volumeless particles of various types? Lmao Foam? Quantum foam-heads? Bod’s a foam-head It’s not physics you’re part of, it’s comedy Oh I forgot you’re just a non-lying little woodworker

Odd “Galaxies and atoms and everything in between. ” Galaxies and atoms are similar, yes. That doesn’t mean everything in between is also. I don’t understand why you would think that.

Odd “Self-similarity at all scales, John. “ Yes. A big thing made out of many little similar things. The similarity reoccurs again and again. Atoms are exactly like galaxies. Each ITERATION is similar. Your dink is not the same as a galaxy, or an atom- idiot Although hopefully bigger than the latter idiot

An iterative function is a way for a computer to draw a fractal. Fractals do not have iterations or layers as you so frequently misspeak. A coastline is a good example of a fractal in nature. It has no iterations. It is self-similar at all scales. I think the point I’m trying to convey to you is that it is painfully obvious when you attempt to use a concept you know absolutely nothing about. > > Your dink is not the same as a galaxy, or an atom- > idiot > Although hopefully bigger than the latter > idiot > -- Odd Bodkin — Maker of fine toys, tools, tables

Odd “I think the point I’m trying to convey to you is that it is painfully obvious when you attempt to use a concept you know absolutely nothing about. ” So. When an atom and a galaxy are the same, it’s not a Fractal? What do YOU call it?

Odd “It’s not a fractal.” Sorry, bro. Yes it is. There’s no ‘quantum foam’. What are you smoking? There’s smaller and smaller versions of Space. ‘Swarming’ gravitrons could never cause gravity. What are you smoking? Gravity/inertia are caused by atoms’ actions ON EACH OTHER. Tard Dimensionless object CAN’T EXIST. What are you smoking? How the HELL can something have physical properties but have no physical existence? Idiot. There are THREE dimensions in REAL life. Not more. Not fewer. ‘Virtual’ particles don’t exist to pop out and make your equations work. What are you smoking? Your equations are PROBABILITY MATH.

That’s not what “quantum foam” is. You’re using a term you don’t know the meaning of. Again. And quantum foam isn’t a fractal either because you still don’t know what a fractal is. So instead another rant will commence. > > ‘Swarming’ gravitrons could never cause gravity. > What are you smoking? > Gravity/inertia are caused by atoms’ actions ON EACH OTHER.

Odd “You’re using a term you don’t know the meaning of. Again. ” You’re the boy with comprehension problems. Why in the world would you think that ‘self similar at all scales’ means that coins should be the same as galaxies? Atoms and galaxies are self-similar. That means their RESPECTIVE PARTS are self-similar, not that ALL their parts look like them. You’re still a blind fool

No big jumps in scale. If you have big jumps in scale before it looks similar, IT’S NOT A FRACTAL. Period. Learn what the term means. -- Odd Bodkin — Maker of fine toys, tools, tables

Odd “big jumps in scale. If you have big jumps in scale before it looks similar, IT’S NOT A FRACTAL. ” ‘Fractals are some of the most beautiful and most bizarre geometric shapes. They look the same at various different scales – you can take a small extract of the shape and it looks the same as the entire shape. This curious property is called self-similarity.’ Let’s take a small extract of a galaxy- an atom. It looks the same as a galaxy. It’s a Fractal.

You got something correct! >Let's take a small extract of a galaxy- an atom. >It looks the same as a galaxy. No, it does not. >It's a Fractal. No, it isn't. You'd think if that was true they would be similar? But they aren't. Maybe next you can say an ant and an orange are fractals because they look the same. (despite the fact that they don't!)
