I took this wonderful fractal cartoon (by spikedmath.com) from friend and colleague Steve Wheatcraft's FB page. In the late 1980s Steve developed an approach to mass transport in porous media using fractal mathematics. He treated porous media as ones with non-integer dimensions. It was revolutionary and not for the faint-hearted.
Enjoy!
