We are all aware that fractals result in very nice pictures,
useful compression schemes and some cosmological models. My question,
what has the impact of fractals and fractal theory been on mathematics
and physics as a whole? Have they opened any new avenues of exploration?

Check out Michael Barnsley's work.

It looks like he created some compression techniques, and patented
them into oblivion ;-)

Chaos claims order in disorder. So which one comes first?

I think it is order.
