has no area, but requires an infinite amount of ink to draw, discuss.

Is sierpinski's triangle different than Koch's snowflake?

you cannot "draw" mathematical ideas such as the infinite line, the line we draw is just a symbol of that idea. Mathematical theories have no reflection in reality.

you cannot draw the sierpinski triangle either

Is this anything like a menger sponge?

menger sponge uses cubes but it's the same concept.

you can use different computer science algorithms to allow you to change the level of detail in a rendered sierpinski's cube. i actually downloaded c source from some website that draws a sierp. pyramid and lets you rotate it and change the level of detail. pretty cool :)

the horn of gabriel (y=1/x from 1 to inf, revolved around x axis) has finite volume but infinite surface area... meaning you can fill it with water but you cannot paint it

what would happen if you filled it with paint?

It'd get messy

It would cease to exist. Oh wait, it never existed in the first place.
