Jigsaw Puzzle : Crop formation in form of Mandelbrot set
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Crop formation in form of Mandelbrot set
Crop formation in the form of the " Mandelbrot Set" at Ickleton, near Cambridge, England. The formation appeared in August 1991. Crop formations are patterns of flattened plants in crops such as wheat or barley. They started appearing frequently in the mid-1980s in south-west England. Their cause is unknown. Many theories exist, ranging from science-based physical explanations such as the " plasma vortex" theory based on the phenomenon of electrohydrodynamics (EHD) to unorthodox suggestions that they are created by extraterrestrial intelligences. The Mandlebrot Set results from a mathematical method of repeated chaotic subdivision, a form of fractal geometry. Heart-shaped with circles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing crop formation in the form of the renowned "Mandelbrot Set" at Ickleton, near Cambridge, England. The intricate pattern emerged mysteriously in August 1991 and is one among many intriguing crop formations that have been appearing since the mid-1980s across south-west England. These formations are characterized by flattened plants in crops like wheat or barley, leaving experts puzzled about their origin. Various theories attempt to explain these enigmatic creations, ranging from scientific explanations rooted in electrohydrodynamics (EHD) such as the "plasma vortex" theory to more unconventional suggestions involving extraterrestrial intelligences. However, despite numerous hypotheses, the true cause behind these remarkable patterns remains unknown. The Mandelbrot Set itself arises from a mathematical technique known as repeated chaotic subdivision—a manifestation of fractal geometry. Its heart-shaped design adorned with circles exemplifies the beauty and complexity inherent within this branch of mathematics. This extraordinary photograph offers a glimpse into both natural phenomena and human curiosity. It encapsulates elements of environmental exploration, land use research, and scientific intrigue while showcasing an awe-inspiring blend of chaos and order found within crop circles or formations. Let your imagination wander as you delve into this image captured by Science Photo Library—where art meets science to inspire wonderment without commercial intent.
