Scientific paper

The ubiquitous clumpy state of the ISM raises a fundamental and open problem of physics, which is the correct statistical treatment of systems dominated by long range interactions. A simple solvable hierarchical model is presented which explains why systems dominated by gravity prefer to adopt a fractal dimension around 2 or less, like the cold ISM and large scale structures. This has direct relation with the general transparency, or blackness, of the Universe.
