A Philosophy of Science Blog. January 29, 2009. Posted by pjd4891 in Mathematics. Parker Doelger and Peter Talarico. The Coastline Problem was formulated by Mandelbrot in the 1960’s. We discussed this in class. If you keep zooming into the coastline, the length will approach infinity. As you zoom in, the coastline appears more jagged, because you are focusing on smaller and smaller particles. What is the smallest particle we can focus on? Is there anything smaller than a quark? Such as the Hilbert curve.

A Philosophy of Science Blog. February 26, 2009. Posted by C. Steves in Nuts and Bolts. How do the complex interactions of an ant colony arise? Perhaps its an example of weak emergence.
