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?

No. Complexity (chaotic effects) is on the boundary
of order and disorder.

I think it is order.

Noted.
