The story

What Is Clouds Are Not Spheres About?

The premise of Clouds Are Not Spheres without spoilers.

It chronicles the life and work of a maverick mathematician who reshaped geometry. Until fractal theory, geometry seemed cold and unable to describe clouds, mountain slopes, or the human form. Benoit Mandelbrot introduced fractal geometry as a language for nature, and in this engaging documentary he explains his revolutionary discovery himself.
