DID YOU KNOW: Sequoia and redwood trees alive today were already mature when the Roman Empire was at its peak — the oldest living giant sequoias are over 3,000 years old, which means they were standing in California before the Parthenon was built in Athens, before Julius Caesar was born, and before the Roman Empire even existed.

Fractals are shapes that look similar at different scales, found in nature in snowflakes, trees, coastlines, mountains and many more. They are mathematically created through repetitive processes, with well-known examples like the Mandelbrot set. In physics, fractals help explain complex systems and chaotic behaviors, such as earthquake patterns. They also inspire artists and architects, influencing designs and artwork.
