Can anyone recommend any books on the chaos theory and Mandelbrot's fractals? I just saw a documentary, and man, this stuff is amazing and is the closest mathematical model of the natural universe.

It seems that unfortunately, matter and reality is infinitely complex and divisible at increasingly smaller scales....

My mind was blown.

It seems, fortunately, that OP doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about

What makes you say that?

Where is your source for matter being indefinitely indivisible?

What is your source for matter being indivisible beyond a certain scale?

Neither, so don't make a claim

But the fractal set simulates what we are able to observe in the physical world. And if this holds true for subatomic matter, the physical world would be infinitely complex.

I am not looking for you opinion, just for some good literature on the matter. MMkay?

Thank you sir.

In reward, fractals that resemble tits on a large scale.

Play with this for a few hours, it will be more fun than reading a math book. When you get bored of that;

Download that. If you can learn how that game works, world generation and all, you can move on to real math.
