Fractal Price Elasticity of Supply

 It's Sunday morning, a time I like to share with you, but I've been thinking about recently. Well, if I were to do that and its totality, it'll be way too much. I have my book I'm working on—the cosmology problem—and the topic of this post: price elasticity of supply and the fracture. One of my early insights into the fractal was elasticity. I teach economics and have just gone through the section on elasticity, which I find absolutely fascinating and an absolute insight into reality. It is a place where economics becomes physics, and it is a property of everything, revealed in economics: elasticity, namely, the price elasticity of demand (PED) and the price elasticity of supply (PES). My 2011 blog entry on this topic. For years, I have been trying to make this work, make this correspond. If the economy is a fractal, then elasticity should be explained by the fractal. I find myself at the risk of trying to make this fit; confirmation bias. But for some reason, this yea...

Macdonalds Law: Increasing cosmological constant with time, a property of an expanding fractal

Cosmic Increasing Acceleration of Cosmological Constant or Dark Energy with Time Explained by the Fractal Update 2025 10 06 I spent the last two days reviewing the commentary on the changing cosmological constant and examining the papers. As a consequence, I would like to retract my previous update, as it is incorrect. My original post remains correct, to the best of my knowledge. The more I examine it, the more it aligns precisely with my model's predictions. What am I to do? Maybe I need to write another short paper bringing these two 'things' together.  View from 10:00 minutes. View from 21:00 minutes Update 2025 09 29 I would like to update what I have written below, as I may have it incorrect. It looks like it's the opposite, actually. Sadly for me, the rate of change is greater now than it was in the past, and that is what it's been saying along, and I misinterpreted that. The one thing I can take from this is a look at my own character. When I saw it, I had m...

Communication check

 Hello readers,  I am writing this just to check if anybody can communicate with me through this blog. If you could kindly send me a thumbs up or whatever you like, it would be much appreciated. Maybe you can email me also at fractalnomics@gmail.com Thank you, Regards, Blair Macdonald.

My rejected Application to FQXi on Quantum 2016

  Tegmark FQXi BBC Quantum Fractal  I still haven't heard anyone ask any questions about my paper that I published in the International Journal of Quantum Foundations. I still think it's remarkable that someone like me got accepted to publish, not peer reviewed, not one paper, but two.  Two complementary papers, the first  on the quantum  and the fractal, and a second  on the fractal, the large-scale structure of the universe , and I'm not even a physicist.  And I haven't heard a word.  I wrote a comment on a YouTube clip recently that 'I feel unmeasured'. I understand that I could be seen as a crank, but the journal editor didn't think so. There's no way he would've let it go in if he thought that. He wrote to me that he thought my work was 'interesting'. Maybe they just needed my money. Joking. I'd like to share with you a little backstory of how I applied for a grant from the FQXI foundation on the topic of the observer. It was back in...

The Multiverse must be true.

 The Multiverse must be true.  Last night, while listening to an audiobook on physics and the topic of the Multiverse, I realized that the Multiverse may well be true. Up until this point, I had thought it was just absolute nonsense, a little bit woo-woo, something that is not useful, and, like they all say, out of the reach of the scientific method. But then it had me thinking, and very quickly, I came to the conclusion that why not? My thinking at the time went something like this: what if I were so isolated that all there was was me, what would I be thinking about my origins? I would have no information to know that my story is the story we know now, the human story, the life story, the story of life on Earth. So are we in that room when it comes to the universe, the Big Bang universe? Already, the universe is far older than I led to believe it is, and what if it is just a node, a branch on this? I pause to say it is an infinite tree. I'll stop there because it is a little...

The Drake equation should include the abundance of elements.

 I just wrote this in a comment to the following clip. The Drake equation should include the abundance of elements. It is amazing to think we have them all, but do others?

Response to Paul Sutter: Is the universe a fractal? Yes it is!

 In response to Paul Sutter's,  Is the Universe a Fractal?  Yes, it is. His response is lazy and outdated. It is Clickbait. I am not saying this because I just wanted to; I am because I've tested it; I've modelled the growth of a fractal, and the fractal is the best fit. I wonder if any other person has done that, modelled a geometry to the movements of the universe?  Put another way, if you model the growth of a fractal, which I have, the universe's evolution is precisely what you would expect to see. The distribution of galaxies is exactly what you expect to see. By my modelling, the large, smooth structure of the observable universe — the space that the sceptics of fractal cosmology point to as evidence of a breakdown in the theory — is the trunk of a fractal structure. All fractals have this hierarchical structure. Look at a tree, and I have modelled tree growth too; the trunk is the majority of the area of a tree, and that trunk is the smooth outer universe that...
