Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom

[Diablodave363isawsum]

I'm..... Almost....... Theeeeeerrrrreeeee....

[LogicalAnality]

At the end it felt like growth rather than a zoom.

[kingfker]

What is the purpose of this stupid mess?

[Hendrix1326]

@kingfker It is to demonstrate fractals, which are geometric constructs that are a natural part of the universe we live in. Forests grow in these patterns, as well as leaves, coastlines, lichens, moss, and many other things.

They are unique in that they are infinite patterns. No matter how far you magnify a fractal, the smallest part contains the pattern of the entire pattern, and you can zoom in infinitely, and never find the end. In essence, fractals prove the infinite nature of the universe.

[kingfker]

@Hendrix1326 Thanx i have been waiting at this answer, i have herd about fractals from sceptical guide to the universe (podcast) , they where realy crazy about that patterns, after i saw it i thought fuck for a bulshit...But the thing u said " the smallest part contains the pattern of the entire pattern" explains me every things thought...

[kingfker]

@Hendrix1326 But anyway, forests and coast lines, DNA and finger prints is just statistics, if u zoome coastline eventualy u will meet a sand corn..of course coasts is diffirent , i just dont get yeat consept of fractals.. 

[Whiterhin018]

@kingfker this fractal represents a mathematical equation and sheds light on things that are invisible yet omnipresent

[cliffwalkinfool]

I do all my fractals at 1280 x 1024. At this resolution, using the 64-bit Fractal eXtreme to render 150-zoom (10e-020) zoom for 14 frames per second, 28 frames per zoom, my record is nine hours. Yeah, I do need to jack up the Max Iterations setting to keep the pixels from going what I call "false black," and I can go much further in the same amount of time if I stick to the simple and sparse lightning bolt-like imagery rather than the complex spirals made of smaller spirals motif.

[fiddlekiller]

what is this zooming in on?

[Destiny3231]

The colors on this are beautiful!

[Finalflash50]

What program did you use to make this.

[neodzj]

I have no idea, but i do know that this is the stuff is see with my eyes closed after taking magic mushrooms, awesome

[charro202]

What is this science of FRACTAL having to do with anything ?

[Ulmdorgr]

Organic shapes (clouds, trees, etc.) can be described using fractal geometry (these things aren't square, circular, etc.). We can then look at how things appear and relate them to specific formulae. Perhaps there is a connection between the data stored in DNA and fractal formulas.

[Chuckjagermeister]

This goes along the same lines as my theory about existence and the structure of the universe in relative time and space. Huge and tiny. But unlike this video, it never ends.

[podfunk]

Finite area, infinite perimeter

[sebwproductions]

THATS ONE BADASS FUCKING FRACTAL!

[CeatcodeDelta32]

this is just an image of the fractal, the real thing goes on forever

[AllFractUp]

Lots of people assume the the Mandelbrot set goes into infinity. I have an animation (set to a techno version of the Star Wars Anthem) that proves there is an end to the Mandelbrot set. Don't believe me? Go to my page and watch the video :)

Oh and please watch the other 40+ fractal animations, rate, and comment on them too.

By the way...nice zoom. I like the colors.

[secular555]

It doesn't doesn't end. The rendering just ended.

[AllFractUp]

@secular555

If you're talking about my discovery of the end of a Mandelbrot I never said the ending was at the end. I you read the comments about that particular animation you may get a better understanding. You may also wish to look the word "end" up in a dictionary.

[secular555]

@AllFractUp

Oh no, I was responding to another poster who claimed it ended when he zoomed close enough, but I failed to make it clear to whom I was responding.

[AllFractUp]

@secular555

Okay. Excuse the mixup then :)

[Xezlec]

It's not an assumption. It's a proven mathematical fact. If your fractal generator stops generating complexity at lower scales, it has a bug.

[AllFractUp]

I didn't say anything about assumptions. I created a set of Mandelbrot zooms that shows at least two end points for the famed "infinite" fractal. Have you seen the video?

[Xezlec]

There are plenty of points in the complex plane with nothing interesting around them. You could just zoom straight into the middle of the big lake to prove that.

Your video shows a point on the edge of the lake where that edge is smooth, using a limited number of iterations. For that same number of iterations and that same zoom depth, you can pick other points on the fractal where there are interesting things. Or, just increase the iteration count to see what you're missing right there.

[AllFractUp]

@Xezlec

Yep. Thanks for watching :)

[alsem2]

youtube is slow and sucks

[ludosophist]

We live in a fractal and time is what we call the sensation of zooming out.

[theanonymouspeasant]

But the universe has a start, whereas a fractal is infinite in both directions.

[ludosophist]

Do you have that recorded? I'd love to see it.

[GuardianKiyoshi]

@ludosophist Your comment made me trip balls.

[Fayewn]

haha measuring the perimiter of that.... like measuring a coastline.

[Orenotter]

The perimeter can't be measured. It's infinite.

[Fayewn]

i know I saw a documentary on fractals.

[JeremiahLaMontagne]

Check out my High Definition fractal zoom. Not your typical fractal animation! click on my name and make it full screen:)

Title is: Fractal Z=((Z^3+3Z(C-1)+(C-1)(C-2))/(3­Z^2+3Z(C-2)+(C-1)(C-2)+1))^2

[888madness]

MsAnonn

you just blew my mind

[MsAnonn]

Just imagine...what if when you die, you fall infinitely inside of a never ending fractal?

[AllFractUp]

Although this zoom has low picture quality it is still a nice trip into a Mandelbrot. I like the colors and the ever emerging fractal shapes as the zoom progresses. I hadn't seen a fractal shake like that when it got nearer the end. I have had the problem of jaggies cropping up in my own deep zooms. So I suppose the two are related. You got to the end of the fractal software's limits before you could get to the end of the fractal.

[ArtyFart]

Well since there is no end to a fractal zoom,

aren't you always going to reach the software's limits first :P ?

[Lizzardman666]

shit, those things can drive a man insane

[psychalysis]

Sorry but not the best zoom I have seen

[samn100]

lets see u make a better one

[54spiritedwill54]

Touching the infinite...

[a2zdiy]

Beautiful!

[ZebNemeth]

nice. how many iterations did you use?

@ all people asking hi res:

if you generate this at high res, (like HD(1920*1200), it will probably take a normal computer 2 weeks to calculate all 3600 frames at higher iteration use.

[pavelam]

I think this was at like 150 iterations. Now that youtube takes HD I started working on a 720p version at like 1000 iterations. My computer is going to go on strike!

[jmartis2]

Is it possible to make a program which allows you to zoom into the fractal forever (increase iterations as you increase zoom)?

[frankbuss]

not forever, but with the memory of todays computers it would be possible very deep with an arbitary precision floating point library, but would be very slow the deeper you zoom

[ArtyFart]

Yes, but the time to render each frame would increase as you increased the number of maximum iterations.

It would eventually take a lifetime to render a single frame.

[fuckyourtubes]

there's better videos of this at much higer resolution.

[thepenguin114]

Well no shit, this is Youtube.

[princedavid0]

awesome my brain almost exploded!

[istupidasshole]

el objeto mas bonito del universo

[fabcloud]

LUSH. Hi-res version anywhere?

[Galinhaclow]

Eh simplesmente uma das coisas mais fantásticas q eu ja vi.

[primrosepeyne2]

DIZZING!! X_X

[BusDriverExplosion]

A fractal is a mathmatical plot of the universe.

[cindyjo57]

Sizzely

[ZombieJesusBrainz]

awesome.... i thought a household pc would go much futher than that but maybe not eh!

[roblang2]

good self similarity, could really see it.

[Schwarzer0Ritter]

You reached the end of a fractal?

[pavelam]

Well, the end of how far that program could calculate the fractal.

[smokalot187]

there is no end to a fractal

[Schwarzer0Ritter]

That is why I was confused when he reached it.

[antonvonwebern]

@Schwarzer0Ritter ahahahahahaha!i thought the same thing! there is a nobel prize to the one who reach the end of a fractal. :D

[BIGSRT]

@antonvonwebern How can you reach the end of infinity? :)

[MattBlytheTheOne]

hey you ran out of pixels!

[ANARK1007]

fascinante

[Lorrierks]

watching this made me very anxious.

[hhisim]

Nice style :)

Ive also done some fractal inspired animation. Inspired By Terrence Mckenna & Music by Entheogenic.

[KILLA251]

zman820p456 you a nerdy ass bitch

[exeter890]

that is awsome dudes i wonder how they do it and how big it gets ??? i mean how does it fit on paper

[greeklamb]

would be nice with some aphex twin. One of his ambient selections perhaps.

[elanalyzer]

Touching the infinite...

[jesusmallo]

I use ultra fractal animation edition and also compose the music. See my 3/3 fusion of funky/jungle and drum n bass. there´s also chill out and fusion of chill out and drum n bass.

[genocidewing]

very good. It has nice smooth animation, but sound would make it better.

I recomend Neverever land by Infected Mushroom.

[Deviant1853]

Looks more like he went out side of even float64 range.

[eduardoccb]

ta faltando um som

[oakmine]

See ! No they don't go on for ever, deep zooms are expensive and this one ground to a halt.  This is a good example of using fewer iterations for an artistic effect. What did you expect to find in this corner of corners ?

[dswex]

beautiful, i love the mandelbrot set....

[Vimag]

i love fractal

[hisshadowhimself]

with what program made u this? i prefer xaos, but his is a nice vid, awesome...

[pavelam]

I used chaos pro - glad you like it! Thanks!

[hisshadowhimself]

welcome and thx for telling.

[Math3matik]

Nice video!

[DoggyTV]

Benoit should be happy.

[DlimitR]

Oh man... the ending is fabulous. The computer failed to render the super deep zoom. http://www.fractint.org/

[pab006]

Beautiful and well done! thanks
