Ailashkersky's Backyard — The Mysterious Number That Rules the Universe (2026)

Popular walk-through of fractals and the Feigenbaum constant: Mandelbrot, Julia, the universal constants of chaos, and the fractal geometry of nature from biology to cosmology.

An hour-plus on how a single mathematical idea — self-similarity across scales — runs through biology, physics, and cosmology. From the Koch snowflake and the bifurcation diagram to Kleiber's law and the fractal structure of space.

Why it matters for Neural Cosmology: the programme rests on the claim that reality is organised by a repeating computational architecture across scales — from cellular bioelectricity to galactic rotation curves. The lecture is a popular entry point to the same intuition via the classical fractal toolkit.

The original lecture is in Russian. An English transcript can be generated from YouTube captions when needed.
