The greatest story on this is from a show on PBS about Fractal Geometry.The
first half of the show is about how skeptical and belittling the mathmatical
world was about fractal geometry when it could be proven over and over and
seen recurring everywhere in nature.
The second half of the show was about the practical applications of fractals
and they spent quite a bit of time telling the story of Nathan Cohen who as
a ham started to wonder if antennas would benefit from fractal design and
wrote a paper in Communications Quarterly. He kept going, finally starting
up the Fractal Antenna company which sells antennas it seems in the cell
phone market, etc.
Its a great great show.
