Are there any differentiable points on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set?

200 Views Asked by At

I'm wondering if there are any points in the Mandelbrot set that are continuous or differentiable? Precisely, is there some point $x_0$ in the set such that there is a continuous/differentiable/smooth function $\varphi: [0,1] \rightarrow M$ such that $\varphi([0,1]) \in M$? I'm not sure I'm phrasing this correctly, but geometrically, if we "zoom in" enough around some point in the Mandelbrot set, do we see the image of a continuous/differentiable/smooth function? Please let me know if this is unclear.
