@mandelbrotguy Thanks! I have to give credit to Derbyshire, who found it way back in the 90's. If you like this you might also like MultiX1, which extends this idea 16X!
Just shows how the math reflects the science (especially biology) and how the universe is rooted in self-similar nonlinear functions. Yes, I am a nerd :-D
The videos begin as raw numerical data that then gets colors applied to each frame, and that goes into a big huge uncompressed AVI file. Then the MP4 and WMV files get made at various bit rates.
The end points generally are when a mini-Mandelbrot set gets hit. But I usually have an objective in mind, like getting to a certain zoom depth, or just zooming in to the center of an interesting structure until a mini-brot is hit.
Nothing in nature can really be zoomed quite like this. The scale of magnification here is beyond what makes any sense in nature, believe it or not. I don't remember the exact magnification for this particular video, but it is probably around 10 to the 30 or 40 or 50...which is comparable to the size of the universe compared to the size of an atom.
This is an object of pure mathematics, with no analogy in the physical world. That's part of its beauty, I suppose.
how can i take a picture of a place (in nature for example) that can be "zoomable" like this? (just like Gigapixel and Gigapan but to be viewable in a single File ...
@ICEKamiKaze If the "pixels" of the image were the size of protons, the whole image would still be orders of magnitude larger than the known Universe.

When you're rendering your fractals do you start with a high quality source that you can then "dumb down" to lower quality versions?
When you get to the end of your animations is it because of time constraints on your computer? or a technical limitation within your fractal software?
