Hunting the Hidden Dimension

I finished watching a program on Fractal Geometry on NOVA which was on PBS. For one thing is was way over my head. But it was neat to watch. The scientist were thrilled that they have been able to find a mathematical way to explain nature.

"An examination of fractal geometry, a field of mathematics based on the intricate patterns found in nature, art, science and even the human heart beat. Included: mathematicians seeking to uncover the rules that govern fractals."

I almost watched that, I think it will be on again though. It sounds like the last thing Einstein was working on - The Theory of Everything.
I think he was mathematically trying to prove the existence of God, by showing that all the patterns in nature defy all laws of probability.

It was neat when they showed how they use this fractal geometry to make the background scenery for sci fi movies and video games.
