They are a mathematical set that have a fractal dimension, a ratio that provides a statistical index of the complexity of comparing how detail in a pattern changes with the scale of which it was measured, and may fall in the integers.

  3. Where can you find Fractals? • Fractals can be found in everything from the beat of the human heart, to lightning, and also the way blood flows through the body.
