Mandelbrot has been called an artist, and a visionary[29] and a maverick.[30] His informal and passionate style of writing and his emphasis on visual and geometric intuition (supported by the inclusion of numerous illustrations) made The Fractal Geometry of Nature accessible to non-specialists. The book sparked widespread popular interest in fractals and contributed to chaos theory and other fields of science and mathematics.
曼德布洛特被称为艺术家，他是一位有远见和特立独行的人。他非正式和热情的写作风格以及对视觉和几何直觉的重视（并辅以大量插图的支持）使非专业人士可以亲身体会《大自然的分形几何学》。这本书引起了大众对分形的广泛兴趣，并为混沌理论以及科学和数学的其他领域做出了贡献。
Mandelbrot also put his ideas to work in cosmology. He offered in 1974 a new explanation of [[Olbers' paradox]] (the "dark night sky" riddle), demonstrating the consequences of fractal theory as a [[Necessity and sufficiency|sufficient, but not necessary]], resolution of the paradox. He postulated that if the [[star]]s in the universe were fractally distributed (for example, like [[Cantor dust]]), it would not be necessary to rely on the [[Big Bang]] theory to explain the paradox. His model would not rule out a Big Bang, but would allow for a dark sky even if the Big Bang had not occurred.<ref>''Galaxy Map Hints at Fractal Universe'', by Amanda Gefter; New Scientist; 25 June 2008</ref>

曼德布洛特也将他的想法运用到了宇宙学中。他在1974年对'''<font color="#ff8000"> 奥伯斯佯谬Olbers' paradox </font>'''（“夜空之谜”）提出了新的解释，证明了分形理论的结果是解决悖论的充分非必要条件。他推测，如果宇宙中的恒星是分形分布的（例如像'''<font color="#ff8000"> 康托尔尘埃Cantor dust</font>'''一样），则不必依靠大爆炸理论来解释这一悖论。他的模型不能排除“大爆炸”的发生，但是即使没有发生“大爆炸”，也可以允许黑暗的天空。
