Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

A change in scale is called a scale transformation. The renormalization group is intimately related to scale invariance and conformal invariance, symmetries in which a system appears the same at all scales (self-similarity). [a] As the scale varies, it is as if one is changing the magnifying power of a notional microscope viewing the system.
The ellipsoidal correction of the scale factor increases with latitude but it is never greater than e 2, a correction of less than 1%. (The value of e 2 is about 0.006 for all reference ellipsoids.) This is much smaller than the scale inaccuracy, except very close to the equator.
The main problem with this theory is that the stored energy due to dislocations is very low (0.1–1 J m −3) while the energy of a grain boundary is quite high (~0.5 J m −3). Calculations based on these values found that the observed nucleation rate was greater than the calculated one by some impossibly large factor (~10 50).

Moreover, one can calculate these exponents using the same statistical field theory. The key observation is that at a phase transition or critical point, fluctuations occur at all length scales, and thus one should look for a scale-invariant statistical field theory to describe the phenomena. In a sense, universality is the observation that ...
