fractals seem more important to non-scientists because they are accessible. The mathematics of quantum theory is incomprehensible to all but those who have waded through several years of college-level quantum courses. The details of tree-branching biology is beyond the capacity and interest of most non-specialists. In contrast, the simple fractal principle of self-similarity is intuitive, understandable, and accessible. It is basic human nature for a person who is confronted with two explanations; one he does not understand and one he does; to accept the explanation that he understands as the one that is more correct and more significant.so what is the possiblity of the occuring fractals?

Answer:
To non-scientists, fractals may seem much more important than they really are. There are perhaps a few reasons for this.
First, fractals are beautiful. Their beauty makes them inherently attractive and engaging to humans. But beauty only bestows on an object artistic and personal value. Beauty does not make an object more scientifically significant or useful. It is the job of the artist to create objects of beauty. It is the job of the scientist to correctly predict physical outcomes. If the boring shape of an ellipse better describes the orbit of the moon than a beautiful fractal curve, the scientist goes with the boring ellipse.
