Can fractals make sense of the Quantum World?
Damn, looks like another thing I'm gonna have to read when I have more time to focus on it... meh... But I think it's also the usual shoddy science reporting. Oh well. Hopefully I can find something to clarify.
Take the mathematics of fractals into account, says Palmer, and the long-standing puzzles of quantum theory may be much easier to understand. They might even dissolve away.
It is an argument that is drawing attention from physicists around the world. "His approach is very interesting and refreshingly different," says physicist Robert Spekkens of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada. "He's not just trying to reinterpret the usual quantum formalism, but actually to derive it from something deeper."
