发帖数: 82482 | 3 这个里面水太深了，海岸线悖论啊：
The coastline paradox is the counterintuitive observation that the coastline
of a landmass does not have a well-defined length. This results from the
fractal-like properties of coastlines.[1][2] The first recorded observation

measure it. Since a landmass has features at all scales, from hundreds of
kilometers in size to tiny fractions of a millimeter and bel... 阅读全帖 |
