Scotch Tape et al

About a year ago, Physorg posted a really interesting article about Scotch tape and X-rays.

"Scotch tape produces X-rays that are strong enough to image the bones in a human finger. In a new study, scientists have further investigated what happens when clear tape is peeled, and found that the tape's surface roughness displays a fractal pattern. The findings may lead to a better understanding of the processes involved in peeling, the origin of the X-ray emission, and in the design of better tape that can be reused repeatedly."

When looking at this from a larger perspective, the notion of reality being a fractal space comes to mind, especially when looking at trees in the winter time and the splashing of waves against the shore.
