Zoom into a 3D fractal box

[jjtheslayer69]

wow thi shits trippy

[AfroSamuraiTheMaster]

LSD

[andresantalo]

this video is not good if you are tryphophobic

[jvcrules]

which texture pack is this?

[xbehemothx]

this is divine

[MumboJ]

This remind anyone else of a Steampunk Companion Cube?

[Taras195]

wtf have i just watched ?

it isawesomely nice,music is prefect,but what is it ?

[Evgnevius]

geniously

[InvertedFox]

some parts of this remind me of an unusually slow speed dmt trip I had a few months back... but the colors don't come close!

incredible, humbling experience as always :O

[seyeruoynepotsuj]

Before time began, there was... the cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to be awesome and funky... That is how science was born. For a time we had done things like make make volcanoes from bicarbonate of soda, but like all great power, some wanted it for good... others, evil. And so, began the war.

[fishlube]

as above so below

[sabertooth1980]

why would ten people down vote this? What, do they hate math or something?

[leehorst]

I almost cried, almost...

[totheloveilove]

there's a user on youtube who has a bunch of these 3d fractals on his channel. look up xlace. 3d fractals + dark room+ trance music+ salvia 20x = a pleasurable experience.

[Vapaus000]

It's the companion cube.

[virtusapiensrex]

This will make you cry of joy when being watched while being high.

[kilianguntner]

cool stuff, fractals rock

[marmaz13]

No i pozdro! Mój mózg...!

[marmaz13]

No i pozdro! Mój mózg...!

[zombiehellmonkey]

watch it in slow motion while stoned, its tripped out man.

[EyeOnTheTV]

Now THAT is how I imagine a Borg cube's internal structure.

[rhatcher010]

Welcome to the Zion Archive....

[Carwave]

beautiful!!

[runwax]

now.. that what i call a fractal !

[lenzario]

luv it great job on this fractal .. i heard fractals are the key to alchemy.. hope for a better future

[GreatGungHolio]

Why are there 10 dislikes!!!

WHY!

[adamvallieres01]

why does this make me think of warhammer 40k

[RDJim]

Too bad this wasn't an HD file.

[Bohmanator]

Just amazing.

[frikkthoen]

Is this science?

[jabacoco]

@frikkthoen yes

[Madmonkeythegreat]

my computer could render than in real time im sure. ^_^

[ORACLE063]

tHE UNIVERSE IS A FRACTAL

[sukablianah2]

Not as great as "phantom spin illusion". That video will blow your minds, while this sucks.

[Maarttttt]

@sukablianah2 Did you make a joke here? Because it's actually the other way around?

[GreatGungHolio]

Can I put fractal pens in it?

[areusirius]

box within a box within a box-BOXCEPTION

[roidroid]

a bit like a DMT trip

[DylanDesign]

Beautiful

[Ottmar555]

Am I the only one who enjoyed the music?

[breaneainn]

unlimited varnish to polish it...

[Mrmtjones]

I watched this with my Avatar 3D glasses and it made my butt hurt.

[DrakeMagnum]

I love this for no logical reason.

[jbear0000]

Does this have anything to do with the borg?

[MoopyHedgehog]

just so long as no cenobites come outta this thing...

[GreatGungHolio]

But can you put fractal pens in it?

[XOXMSperfect]

its like inception in a rubix cube

[VoidOnTuesday]

@yuriatayde I saved you time but you wasted mine. Great trade I get nothing and you labor on with just a tiny tidbit of knowledge replacing what was a complete dearth of substance inside your head. Now you think you know everything about the subject, no need to actually double check that what I told you made sense or was accurate, no that would take precious time away from asking dumb questions on youtube videos.

I never said anything about trolls, but congrats for calling yourself an idiot.

[VoidOnTuesday]

@yuriatayde you weren't "just asking questions" you were deliberately questioning the value of the video based on a platform of no knowledge and 5 seconds of scanning a wikipedia article.

People on the internet get frustrated when people ask stupid questions because we are on the goddamn internet, the incredible and amazing network that connects us all and allow instant access to information about almost anything.

Look it up, it takes less time and you piss off fewer people.

[monkeyfunforidiots]

To paraphrase Jonathan Coulton, that is one bad-ass fuckin' fractal.

[Kullg4r]

Fuckin fractals, how do they work?

[HungryTacoBoy]

Man, this is going to sound stupid, but sometimes fractals scare me, especially these ones rendered in 3D. They're amazing though.

Also, why don't we get a higher quality video? D:

[iambehindthemirror]

@HungryTacoBoy Yes, they are scary sometimes.

[HungryTacoBoy]

@iambehindthemirror

I think it's mostly because I try to imagine myself holding them [in this case, the cube-like fractal they have]. Would they even have a volume? It appears that if you zoom in on any part that appears 'solid', they end up also containing the same patterns and gaps.

[littleliuboy]

The cake is a lie

[Davidivov]

This makes my brain hurt.

[KarpatycGhost]

@Davidivov so it's not weird that mine has an orgasm ???

[Davidivov]

@KarpatycGhost Nope!

[IrradicableOne]

THE POLYGONS.

[degoetje]

Kinda looks like the Companion Cube

[Lijacote]

It's a shame you didn't upload this in higher quality, but nice anyway.

[shaolindreams]

looks like a cpu, from the future :p

[johny166]

please upload this video in as high quality as its humanly possible

[Baxxter101]

@johny166 they wont...  fuk'n NSV never goes above 360p... they have cutting edge equipment over there.

[vkorinfsky]

this is what happen when you die. Can't wait :)

[johny166]

coolest video on newscientist

[Thorsupremecommander]

what hardware and software did they use?

[r0binh0od]

Wrap your mind around this prof. Hawkins!

[crossfire1129]

LLLSSSDDD!!! FTW!

[sorry8140]

wtf is this?

[soulhunger1]

That's one badass fucking fractal box.

[troglodyte3344]

does this mean we are living in a holographic universe?

[djsuperstar717]

Godlike

[scientolofag]

Just take a point called Z in the complex plane

Let Z1 be Z squared plus C

And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C

And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on

If the series of Zs should always stay

Close to Z and never trend away

That point is in the Mandelbrot Set

[skadogg22]

is this real life

[messenger360]

Why are the highest rated comments so GAY?! Honestly, people have no taste.

[theogore]

@messenger360 - because the majority of people are inbred miscreants.

[rocky315w]

benoit would be proud, love rocky

[eisv]

HD!! -.-

[nibaldo33]

wow que lindo...

[greatwood]

so why don't we have like, a fractal hard drive that has unlimited storage space?

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

Ok it's 2011. Why are all the videos from this channel in 360p? A video like this should be at least 720p.

[manta965]

@AllUrUtubeRbelong2me just because it isn't rendered in 720 doesn't mean its poor quality i could have a 240 p look just as good it you tried and make 1080 p look terrible you can make any video go in 1080 if you render it that way no mater what the actual quality is

[DOPRDragon]

I had a dream almost exactly like this once. I was withdrawing from an incredibly intricate room into another.  Pretty awesome actually.

[Mozza314]

Very impressive!

[crash6871]

Not bad for your first fractal.

[xylyze]

where can I buy one?

[pcuimac]

Any hints how to calculate that fractal? I need a reference.

[zkjgrty]

its endless...

[WolfgangKaipz]

zoom out

[VoidOnTuesday]

@yuriatayde understanding fractals is a crucial part of many disciplines from pure mathematics to biology to physics, chemistry... many complex organisms develop fractally, like trees. Assuming something is silly or pointless when you have no tools to grasp its usefulness is kind of... well... small minded.

[Grymyrk]

@yuriatayde Fractal, look it up.

[try0003]

Yeah... but will it blend that is the question.

[yellowmetalcyborg]

That was nice, one on the best fractal animations I have seen in a long time.

[burrderr]

isn't it amazing? thats what we all look like inside

[kjrunia]

Wow. How much render time must that have taken? So cool.

[MrTurboturbine]

does it have a core?

[gamehead91]

We need to go deeper.

[safenders]

wow amazing

[Montymio]

"The Weighted Fractal Cube will never threaten to stab you, and in fact, cannot make friends."

[Clavera]

"Mandelbulber" is not really anything new.

[Th30Hacker]

will it blind



[dekionplexis]

needs 720p HD

[jaksajak]

its from Hellraiser

[littleyellowkite]

It reminds me of the of the Veeger in the first Star Trek movie...ZZZzzzzzzzz

[Vivimord]

i'mma build me one on Minecraft :D

[jkjkjij22]

@Vivimord omg.

[ToBeOrNotToBeThatGuy]

I gotta ask. Does anyone know what equation produced this fractal? I want to do something similar to this.

[lolocaustism]

reminds me slightly of the film of which I forget the name... oh wait, "cube"

also portal

[Hopienme]

Omg, its like the cubes just keep getting infinitely smaller inside of the next cube zomg

[3MTARTANTAPE]

Google fractal lab. You can do this in your own computer.

[marasmusine]

I put my keys in there, and now I can't find them.

[gosucoaching]

Imagine 3d game where world is this cube. ^^

[SlideRulePirate]

We have such things to show you.

[EzAzAbc]

I can clearly spot a vagina at the end of the video.

[minirobot1]

I want to watch this in HD so bad.

[Shalek]

Oh my.

[jeremy072021]

That video was completely amazing

[the12221]

pretty insane

[liquidus2172]

∞ !!

[Chaowdur]

dude.... im soooo high right now...

[Merdam9]

Fractals are the most amazing thing that people would ever discover.And I like those simple ones more than these complicated.

[AmusingYeti]

Good old mandelbrot set. :)

[KennyGJE]

MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FUCK!

[nick91210]

Well there's the answer to the meaning of life..

[Hergonan]

720p.

[minieggg1]

Theres no HD version of the clip because it would have taken quite literally weeks to render that on even the fastest of computers :P

Im using the same program as they used on my AMD 6000 (3.1Ghz) its taking 5 seconds per frame 320x240 resolution on the same mandelbox set.

[Ou8y2k2]

what video card did he use to render this? to play it back?

[eVITORIOe]

BOM *neck with out head squishes blood out*

[GabrielKnightz]

this feels like a reoccurring dream i used to have as a kid. . . seriously!

[eamo2020]

1:52 - a vagina

[Jourei91]

The whole cube looks like something you blew up in Minecraft.

[Cytozone]

I want one.

[ourDC888]

Wow! Thank you!

[barakuda1111]

1:28 scramble

[bmobaggins]

its the box from Hellraiser

[ScottishAtheist]

@bmobaggins What's your pleasure?

[topphemelig]

Those who modeled this block must have alot of sparetime :P

[fatalist6o9]

Does this have any useful scientific applications?

[AnonEyeMouse]

@fatalist6o9

It cures cancer.

[fatalist6o9]

@AnonEyeMouse I suppose it makes cups of tea, does the housework and turns base metals into gold as well...

[AnonEyeMouse]

@fatalist6o9

You're thinking of my wife. Stop it.

[fatalist6o9]

@AnonEyeMouse LOL! I can't help it! It must be so cool (and profitable) to be married to an alchemist!

[AnonEyeMouse]

@fatalist6o9

Yeah... but the nagging, nagging, nagging... 'MOUSE!! I'M OUTTA QUICK SILVER!!! GO BUY ME 1000 THERMOMETRES!!!' Every day with the quick silver and the sulphur... and it gets into the tea pot and makes my Assam taste of arse. It's not all guilded unicorn horn and glamour, you know.

[PlutonGB]

fractals are amazing

[scullyy]

AAAAHHH! MY BRAIN!

[cutiko]

Anyone else is smoking weed?

[ObliviuxProductions]

@cutiko

Nope still have a very good ammount of brain cells.

[RobOnDrugs]

Nicely writen peace of mathmatical art software there.

Fractals; the more you go into them to more detail you get into.

Like fractional reserve banking; the more you go into it, the more dept you get into.

[lemonzawodowiec]

IMPOSSIBRU!

[Richardgwm]

I am not sure I understand the math on that.

[premed2]

This is the perfection the Borg have long searched for, and it makes a great sonic crystal too!

[BowlingAlleyProd]

Am I the only one that found this slightly creepy? ._.

[warriour67]

new minecraft block?

[dude12nothin]

But where was the dick?

[JohnDowl]

Lament Configuration! :)

[MEGADETHTHRETH]

3d fractal box > Call of Duty black ops

[messenger360]

@MEGADETHTHRETH That makes no sense.

[JonasAtGuitar]

So I heard you like boxes , so we put a box in a box in a box in a box in a box ..... ....boxception !

[ReasonSharp]

@JonasAtGuitar We need to go in deeper.

[engineerstudent]

somebody wasted a lot of time with their life

[NoMoMedia]

I smell Tool's new album art :P

[iamours]

perfect

[khqzuyli]

MIND = BLOWN

[GiantDoucheNG]

punk rock 3d fractal box

[eppik]

Shouldn't take long to render.... o.o

[s23b]

It's an Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube!

[ogrish84]

Where's the HD version of this clip?!

[psilocyberspaceman]

a few glitches in the matrix

[TMNWG]

That was awesome!

[piraat6666]

I bet that our universe is like that

[7410n0]

the blue background kind of ruins it

[hereswelsh]

One of the best fractals I've ever seen.
