Importantly, they effectively "protected" the wires from each other, allowing for unprecedented access to how these 1D objects behave in isolation.

This is the moment a mysterious object that has come from interstellar space was spotted travelling through our solar system.

The object — thought to be a comet — is only the third-ever confirmed interstellar visitor to pass through our cosmic ...

We live in a world of three-dimensional objects bounded by two-dimensional surfaces and outlined by one-dimensional lines. All in all, a comforting, intelligible, whole-number sort of world.

Importantly, they effectively "protected" the wires from each other, allowing for unprecedented access to how these 1D objects behave in isolation.

A shape with these properties does not behave like a 1D object, but it's not a 2D object. Instead, it is a one-and-a-bit-D object. That is a fractal.
