Better Off Ted – Better Than Its Name

I love science

Tertiary Structure of DNA (Hilbert Curve)

Science is so fricking awesome I can't stand it

This link explains it better than I can: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/10/fractal-genome/ .  The gist is that the macro-scale structure that DNA coils up into has been mapped in high resolution.  The best part?  It coils up in a structure known as a Hilbert Curve, a space-filling fractal first described in 1891.  1891!  Science and math are curving in on themselves — not entirely unlike a fractal.
