The magnitude of this zoom is 2^897 or about 1.06E270.
The diameter of the observable Universe is about 9.30E10 light-years or 8.80E26
meters.
Subatomic particles like electrons don't have a well-defined diameter, and elementary particles don't always behave like matter we're used to.
The smallest (meaningful) distance I can come up with is the Planck Length, 1.62E-35m, or 5.43E61 times smaller than the universe; still utterly incomparable to the scale of the zoom of this set.
@DannyPapasFritas If our universe was an lectron instide a bigger universe which was an electron inside an even bigger universe, it wouldn't even begin to describe the magnitude of this fractal zoom.
This was beautiful. I thought of both Peacock feathers and chromosomes. Stunning colors, I wish that a good chunk of these zooms were as brightly, or as well lit as this.
i find the resemblance to chromosomes pretty interesting as well. I have seen a documentary about naturally occurring fractals. It has been said that all living things are actually forms of fractals. I think this is a really cool concept.
@MetalicAtheist: It's a harmless optical illusion. I had a spinning top with a spiral on it when I was a kid that created the same effect. If the pattern zooms in, objects within your visual cortex appear to shrink when you look away. If the pattern zooms out, objects appear to expand.
@MetalicAtheist Really? You started to see it do that? Oh, that's gotta be spooky! I'm glad stardust4ever explained what's been happening to you. Kudos to stardust4ever. What a friend!
@spyroandcynderrock75 Yes indeed, although I don't personally condone drugs. There is a neat optical illusion if you stare into the center of the zoom the whole time, then take your eyes off the computer screen, anything near the center of your visual cortex will appear to grow briefly. Happy zooming!!!
Here's a more successful (in terms of YouTube hits) fractal generation. The music gives it a very adventurous feel, and the colors are, well, wow, colors, man! Kudos to stardust4ever, who did the math, and presents the video. Seems like to me this or something like it could possibly get kids interested in math. Fractals generations have been on computers since early on, I recall seeing some good ones on a Commodor 64 back when that was state of the art.
@edgeeffect Are you refering to the music changing, or the rapid increase in density as the animation zoomed in towards the minibrot? I had initially only rendered a finished movie to the cross of Xs; later on I rerendered the final span of the zoom. The features (iteration bands) get extremely dense as one zooms closer to the brot, as does the time it takes to render. Mandelbrot zoom locations are discovered by exploration of a mathematical function, not created as artistic expression.
@stardust4ever - no the music changing... The main music sounds like we're racing into the depths of infinity... it's perfect for a quick zoom... but when it changes it just sounds... well I'm not sure... but it doesn't work for me at all.
@RoboticusMusic Nope. Just a Phenom II 955 quad core 64bits with 8 gigs of ram. It is clocked at 3.6Ghz - but it can probably whup snot of the super computers of yesteryear.
In this video, only 1/20 frames (@30fps) was actually rendered. Each 2x zoom is represented by a single rendered frame. The rest of the frames are generated by image interpolation. Along with many, many other enhancements, including 64 bit processing, this makes fractal extreeme the fastest fractal program on the market.
Really very good, the resemblance of many of these structures with the way chromosomes curl up is incredibly striking! I love the vibrant colours used also.
It really bewilders me that more people dont take an interest in chaos, and the absolute lack of views of videos like this which are appreciable even by the uninformed saddens me immensely.
@balist0 First and foremost, thank you sincerely for your very kind words. I have noticed as well, it is not just mine, but other fractal vids that get extremely low view counts. I really believe that part of this is the fact that fractal zooms have kind of a niche audience, compound that with the fact that youtube uses the pageviews/ratings of videos to determine who gets higher on the list, hence those near the top which get more views tend to stay there.
Nice one! 5 *'s it is a cool zoom with interesting structures. I LOVE world of goo!! I thought i recognized the music.
Did you anti alias?
Want more views subscribe to others and add friends "every day" so many fractals on youtube you have to do this or it will take you ages to get noticed! shame about the de sync, I never really noticed it, would have been nice if you used more iterations for the last mandelbrot but im just being picky nowI have subscribed and added you as a friend
@fractalzooms Hey thanks. To answer your question, no, I didn't antialias, and rendered at 640x480 SD, but it really doesn't matter too much when the zoom is continually moving, in most normal cases. My "Turbo Zoom" video is an exception. Our eyes can only detect so much detail, so it's hardly noticeable. The aliasing somewhat creates a "sparkle" effect in the vids when viewed with the crisp source video. Youtube compression really mars the image though, so you can't tell.
Hmm... Some more work (three or four month perhaps!), and the ending could be perfect. You may change the music also. But the resemblance with chromosomes during metaphase is indeed more and more striking. Bravo to you and DeepZoomNet.
@BRUMARTUBE: Hey, thanks for the comment. It's a shame these fractal videos like mine don't get more views. The "cross" formation is one of the first structures of the Mandelbrot I deeply studied; it started with a "square midget" tutorial I found online. When I saw the original metaphase video, I was stunned to say the least.
Three of four months to redo it? More like three or four days using my 64-bit Quad-Core @ 3.6Ghz. About 12x as fast as the 2Ghz dually laptop that I use at school!
Thanks for answering. I have seen the cross. Nice!
If the final rendering can be ameliorated in four days, please do! A good thing is to let the final image lasting a little big, especially on YouTube which comes too quickly with the video-links. We need to breath after looking those zooms. Keep posting. Thanks again.
WOW THAT IS AWESOME !!!

If the whole thing at the beginning was as big as the visible universe. Would the last figure at 9:59 be smaller than an electron?
