Science has a way of making a showing in even the most unlikely places. Have you noticed how this thread appears to be infinitely recursive. Mandlebrot might have saved himself many sleepless nights if he'd had the opportunity to study it.

Revlgking, I'd like to ask a compound question: What do you see as the central purpose of this thread (yes, I'm quite aware of the title)? What are it's other purposes, if any? Do you think it's succeeding in those purposes? Where do you see this thread going (do you see it moving forward and evolving, or simply moving in ever decreasing circles)?
