Fractal Analysis
Some of the many crop formations have been said to resemble various fractal designs. Whilst the Mandlebrot and Julia set fractals are infinite, I have been exploring both to find links with crop formations.
Research Topics
The designs below are just a small sample of some of the designs I have found.
A portion of the Mandlebrot set located at -4.11999e-03, -8.270512500e-1, extending for 1.123199e-2, 8.985599e-3 using 128 iterations.
This illustrates a similar general design to the 'Treble Julia set' crop formation discovered at Avebury Trusloe in 1996.
Another easily recognisable fractal shape appeared just behind Silbury Hill, Wiltshire in 1997. This time it is the 'Koch' curve.

To believe that we are completely alone in the universe is just as arrogant and foolhardy as believing that we are at the center of the galaxy and that the Sun, Moon and all the planets revolve around us! Whether or not we have been visited by extra terrestrial life is speculation... but one thing that I DO know is that some of these 'fractal' images are so complex, there is no possible way that the average farmer or even math club kids could come out here and 'fake' these images so perfectly that there is less than a centimeter of error... overnight even! If it takes a retired astrophysicist to decode the 'pi fractal' crop-circle, its definately not made by humans!
My thoughts are that since the most prominent and philosophical, cosmological question that remains unanswered to us is what is our universe... was it created or has it always been? I think that who... or what ever is putting these fractal images into our crops is telling us the answer... our universe is obviously a fractalized segment, including many others to create an even grander 'multi-verse'... of which again is only a segment of an even larger existence altogether! Think about it...
