I am an environmental scientist. A large part of my career has been dedicated to scientific research into the structure of ecosystems and factors that affect them. Quite early on, it became apparent that certain mathematical iterative principles formed geometries that coincided exactly with those found in natural ecosystems. And by ecosystems, I do not mean just plants and animals. The same principles also apply to quantum physics, geology, meteorology and on up to the formation of galaxies. These relationships were championed most publicly by the brilliant mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry.
To my mind, the structure of natural ecosystems through application of these iterative processes revealed not only the genius and subtlety of nature but also its incomparable beauty. Â

A fantastic creation, Stan. I like it more than the answer,'42' :D I like the arrow at the top. We are going upwards, and will get the right answer !?: "Yes"! (LOL)

Wow, great image! This is amazing. LOL The mice were awfully upset when the answer was 42, they had been making plans on hitting the talk show circuit to discuss the the answer, and when they heard it, it left very little room for discussion. Actually the number 42 has both superstious and religious significance. 6 is the number of the devil, and 7 is the perfect number for God, that is where the superstious idea of 7 being a lucky number originates from, the number 7 plays a big role in the story of creation. You take 6 x7 and you get 42. That explains why the answer to everything was 42 :) All that said i love your image and it is a wonderful depiction of what Deep Thought looks like.

the colors are splendid in this. cool work and the perfect image to find all the answers with. :)
