... but that is wrong! That is an image of a Romanesco cauliflower/broccoli: (https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/9057451 ... eCEALw_wcB) and I don't think you can zoom in to "any conceivable scale" on a vegetable... ;)
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Maybe not on a vegetable but I know of a few humans who are wrong on all length scales. :) For example: Parmenides.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmenides
he explains how all reality is one, change is impossible, and existence is timeless, uniform, and necessary

But that is not a picture of fractal wrongness. That is a picture of the brain of a person who suffers from the condition.
