I've always been perplexed by fractals through my own experience, but I stumbled upon this video and I found it quite interesting. So, I'm going to share it with you guys.
when you are magnifying a certain location on a grid to a certain extent is what the fractals are, I believe he means because you have to zoom in on the hubble space telescope (but in truth it's only allowing light to travel into it's lens which takes a long time) making it a fractal (but in truth not really, cause all this did was look at the distance and size of each planet/star/galaxy,etc) ....... so yeah

Indeed. In order to tell me that it's not a fractal, first one must know what a fractal is. A fractal is, for instance, an image/view (to put this simply) that you can zoom in.. and still find a type of pattern, or "things," designs even, light, anything... infinitely.
You can take a telescope, see what you can see, zoom in (x5 magnification), and see more. But wait, where does that process stop? Let's zoom in even further (20x magnification) .. oo look i can see even more things - granted they are further away than what i previously saw. Is there a limit to how far we can look into space? Not really... and that's a fractal.

no not really
1)the vast majority of this picture is different sized planets and stars in our galaxy put together in a diagrammatic form as a size comparison – that's not a fractal. If I took photo's of a marble, golf ball, tennis ball, football, basket ball, beach ball put them together did I create a fractal?
2)the thing you posted about was about mathematical fractals by iteration that have an infinite complexity – the universe doesn't under current understanding
3)there is a limit to how far you can see in space, the diagram even points that out. As it takes time for light to reach us so those universe's they seen where roughly from 13 billion years ago yet the universe is only 13.7 billion years old , so how are you saying there is no limit to haw far we can see in space?
