Title: Fractal Analysis of Deep Sea Topography

Fractal Analysis of Deep Sea Topography
Marc Spiegelman and Chris Scholz
Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory

Recent high resolution mapping of deep-sea topography shows clearly that there's a hole in the bottom of the sea. To repeat, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea. There's a hole?there's a hole?there's a hole in the bottom of the sea. Moreover, more careful analysis indicates that there is a multitude of scale lengths in the bathymetric data. For instance, there's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea. There's a bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea. There's a frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea. And there's a flea on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea. Figure 1 shows the 5 orders of magnitude inherent in the data plotted in log-log space and indicates a fractal dimension d = 2.76. Plotting in log-frog space gives d = 2.5. No attempt has been made to understand this result.

Duhh, it's where the Ceadeus from Monster Hunter Tri lives. Obviously.

It all makes sense now.. Haven't played MHT in a while.

Apparently the collective nerd power of SO is too little to comprehend this phenomena.

Why do you have to taunt me with these? QQ

I'm stuck waiting on MH:Portable 3 for the PSP as I am too cheap to go out and buy a nintendo wii (well that and I'm saving up for things)

It's like a kids song of some sort. You guys don't remember it? But it's made out to be all smart like.
