CLOUDS ARE NOT SPHERES |  |  | "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
Professor BenoÓt Mandelbrot
Professor BenoÓt Mandelbrot has led an extraordinarily rich and varied life. Full of twists and turns, his career has very much paralleled and reflected powerful aspects of the new geometry, which he has discovered. Fractal geometry is the geometry of nature, of familiar and apparently random forms like trees, coastlines, rivers, and lightning. With fractal geometry, BenoÓt Mandelbrot has given us a new language for use throughout the sciences. Fractal geometry has a powerful and enlightening effect on most people who come across it.
This new language is changing our lives. In this documentary BenoÓt Mandelbrot tells his own story in his own unique style, supported by interviews with a dozen contributors, including Nobel Laureate Professor Ivar Giaever.
