ECONOMICS AND LAW

Over-reliance on the Black-Scholes trading model led to the 1998 collapse of hedge fund Long Term Capital Management with losses of $4.6 billion. The model assumed price fluctuations were smooth and Gaussian, whereas data going back millennia shows price variations are fractal with a power-law distribution.

One of the main applications of fractals today is in the movie special
effects industry, from simple textures that make surfaces more realistic,
to advanced fluid dynamical simulations, such as the foaming water horses
from Lord of the Rings.
