Atoms are not solids. They are tiny spirals of pure electrical energy. The universe is electrically-driven, fractal, and composed of a hierarchy of electrical flat spirals. A fractal describes a geometric shape that has the same patterns at many different size scales. Quantum mechanics has a weird relationship with fractals. In physics, it is well-known that electrons behave very differently in three dimensions, two dimensions or one dimension. But whatever happens in non-integer dimensions, is extraordinary. In a magnetic field the structure of the states available to electrons takes on a distinct fractal form, it is called Hofstadter’s butterfly. In this case, the structure of the material that holds the electrons doesn’t matter too much; it is the interplay between how the electrons move around and the magnetic field that generates the fractal by calculating the dimension of the electronic wave function. Being a fractal is a solution for a system to interact with himself and not to be confined.
