This is what happens when you let math nerds around the literature
Weird.
1: there is a thing called the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences
2: they took time to run statistical analyses of great works of literature
3: they found fractals. And in the case of a number of stream-of-consciousness novels (and the Bible), they found really complex fractals-within-fractals structures.
So, um, that happened.

Wow
The Prado is using Google Earth to map some of their famous paintings. You can get near microscopic clarity on any part of the works.
I especially love the complicated math of the story: "The Google Earth images have a resolution of 14,000 megapixels, some 1,400 times greater than a picture taken on a standard 10 megapixel camera." Ya think?
