•The simplest fractal is the Cantor set
•
•Start with a line and take out the middle-third
•
•Then take out the middle-third of the remaining lines
•
•Repeat this process for ever, to get the Cantor dust !!
•
•A sheet has dimension D=2, a line has D=1, a point has D=0
•
•The Cantor set has the fractional value D=0.6309...              @
