Yes indeed. Sad news. It was his application of fractal mathematics to the description of Nature that was pure genius.

I've spent many pleasurable hours exploring the Mandlebrot set.

This self- contained 'sprite' or fractal `dust particle' of which I have found many variants deep inside , when viewed on your computer screen , puts the whole Mandlebrot set at zero zoom , about the size of the Milky Way galaxy !
