Is the Universe Fractal?

subject

Physics Theoretical physics Multidisciplinary Fractal Smoothness (probability theory)Key issues Cosmology Fractal cosmology

description

One of the key issues in cosmology is the question of whether the universe is smooth or fractal at large dimensions. The answer has a bearing on the big bang model of the origin of the universe. MartAnez discusses why recent analyses have come to opposing conclusions regarding this question and looks at how good a case can be made for large-scale smoothness of the universe.
