The Philosophical Mountains Beyond Mountains Fractal; CMB WMAP Planck Pictures of the Universe

It is known that the Earth is a spherical orb in space; this is fact and more or less proven by satellites in orbit, planes circumnavigating the globe, shadows at various latitudes, observations of other celestial bodies, and a nebular hypothesis of planetary accretion in spherically symmetric energy potentials. The ridiculous theories positing some flatland or eternal shape of the Earth as being anisotropic or not spherically symmetric are what we have to address. Fractal shapes are important in nature because they reflect the basic turbulent laws of mechanics at the origin of particle scattering at the Big Bang. From things like the Euler beta function and the Riemann zeta function we get self-similar relations of physical systems that resemble fractals. What is interesting is to think that the shape of the universe is nested in some kernel of self-similar form, like an eternal shape that repeats. Sakharov proposed a cyclic model of the universe and if one thinks of the string theory of the geodesic landscape, one might get an idea that the universe is some pattern. How the Earth fits into this pattern is what the flatlanders are trying to ignorantly glean. Their ideas, although fantastical, represent the idea that the Earth is part of a Penrose tiling of space nested in a primordial progenitor function from the Big Bang. Their efforts might be misguided, but there is some historical interest in things like the Platonic solids, the polyhedra of Kepler, and the orbital ratios of planets that harken in an era of geometric regularization into things that we thought were more random.

I am not a flatlander. It is ridiculous to think that the Earth is anything other than spherical. However, the universe has a self-similar scale invariant core in its field axioms and logical causative foundation. Natural causation, which is believed to echo logical causation means that we find cosmic structures and symmetric celestial bodies from patterns in mathematics. This is why looking at Planck, WMAP, and the CMB are critical for understanding the shape and map of the universe and all the self-similar parts in it. Maybe we'll get a better picture of the nuances of fractal space filling planetary shapes and geological formations from isomorphisms in analysis of CMB polarization, a reflection of Riemann zeta function prime number distributions.. In any case, look for more analysis of the fractal nature of things from a scale invariant approach to understanding sub-atomic particles, atoms, massive objects, planetary bodies, and the cosmos.
