Mandelbrot Zoom 333 [no sound]

[MrHornfox]

i just bought fractal extreme after years of fun with the free version but i cant figure out for the life of me how you got those presets , would you care to share ? becouse i absolutly love them !!!

[gerwintjeu]

didnt ur pc explode??

[SchnackDaBabs]

zoom me harder!

[AJPerg]

I am watching this with J.S. Bach's Triple Concerto in A Minor (a concerto for flute, Violin and Harpsichord) playing in surround sound. There is no better "drug-free drug" than this video juxtaposed with that music. Great video - thank you phaumann!

[K4ne91]

thse things are called fractals. they exist everywhere you see... only because of them computer simulations/animations are possible.

[MegaKillMeister]

damn... that guy has a freakin' good zoom camera...

[ThatEnglishDrummer]

Strangely Relaxing... Am I The Only One That Felt That?

[Dole203]

I'm baked as shit and cant finish this video too intense

[poptheman1]

RIP headphone users

[whiteeyedcarrots]

Soo, this is what its like to be high.... Hmmm.

[pipefx64]

already the most intense mandelbrot zoome 've ever seen by around 2.30...

[acau77]

DROSTE EFFECT.

[skoghallskins3]

The sound that never comes...

[MrDirtyratmiller]

Now there's a mushroom trip!!!

[ianmi27]

From 0:51 the party begins! ^_^ Nice zooming

[baggedyman]

8:15 looked 3d

[Nathsem]

What happened at 9:09?

[MrChoronzon333]

It's turtles all the way down.

[fireluigi12]

at the magnification at the very end, how big would the whole image be?

[mibrahim1994]

Whats the song from 00:14 to 1:18 ?

[Expectation247]

you are a fractal master; if only it was 1080p

[kjknohw]

What program did you use? THis looks HARD to compute.

[kjknohw]

This is one of the most CPU intensive mset zooms I have ever seen! The magnification is rediculous, the iterations hit 1 million. Deep zoom requires special (slow) high-precision arathmatic; it isn't easy!

[paigasukidesu]

Now let's see it go in reverse.

[jakeywakeytypebloke]

it's amazing how pure logic creates something so purely organic

[soyounoat]

@jakeywakeytypebloke wrote: "it's amazing how pure logic creates something so purely organic"

Yes., it is amazing. It's also how I suspect the Universe in which we live can go from such small bits to the vast stretches we can't even see at EITHER END. The pure logic of mathematic truth has resulted in what amounts to an inconceivably scaled and complex Universe. And somehow it happens that we (from microbial organisms to planetary systems) exist roughly in the middle.

[XxhullrulesxX]

i lived though the whole vid

[zephiloyd]

I bet that wasn't the end either.

[SojournerLi]

I could fall into this forever. With some classical music in the background, this is what it must be like after you die. If anything. But for now, weed and Vivaldi will have to do =D

[Bubbins909]

@SojournerLi yeah it takes a while to find another human in there

[martinisbutik]

deeeeeerp

[Oldenuf]

Deeeeeep

[MrKiller7001]

i liked the part where it was zooming in

[lfrayser]

@MrKiller7001 I think I missed that; but the music was phenomenal!

[vontrappster]

@0:52

[mike4ty4]

What does that mean in the upper right, where it has the "o" with a stroke through it, before "iterations"?

[my5thelement]

@mike4ty4 it means average :)

[paindoll]

This is the awesomest zoom i've seen!

[HertzSine]

Combine this with the Inception soundtrack!

[Freechips1]

Proof that infinity can have boundaries?

[GLaDOSsMailerDaemon]

@Freechips1 What? We've known that for a long time. *Points to a half life*

[Freechips1]

@GLaDOSsMailerDaemon But the thing about that is, given an infinite amount of time the substance will completely decay i.e. the thing itself isn't infinite.

[cyraxmaster23]

What am I supposed to be looking at?

[GTRrocker666]

@cyraxmaster23 Your computer screen. 

[tubulation]

listening chemical brothers or infected mushroom, this video gets awesome!

[pred60]

What's with the random piece of code at 9:08?

[soguapo18]

ok, forgive my ignorance but what is this? and what is it supposed to do or cause on a person watching or what is it used for?

once again i apologize for the ingnorance.

[DancingTofu2]

@soguapo18 This image describes a series of numbers defined by other numbers in the set. In this version, white = numbers within the set, black = numbers not within the set, and the spectrum of colours between reflects that the region contains numbers both within and without the set, with a ratio given by the colour's warmth

Hope that makes some sense. You can try reading the wikipedia page (look up "mandelbrot set") but it's kind of cryptic unless you're into math.

[fitznicely]

I was looking for patterns in there regarding the numbers of lines extending from the centre of the screen from about 2 minutes in.

It seemed to go 4 (02:00) then 7 (2:13), then 16 (02:20), then 32 (02:28) then something approaching 64 at 02:30, although by this time they were quite blurry and very difficult to accurately measure. I imagine this is due to the exponentially accelerating zoom.

What puzzles me is the way it doubles each time save for the SEVEN in a set which goes: 4, 7, 16, 32 64.

[fitznicely]

@fitznicely And then the process thats up again at about 05:56 with another four line pattern, this time followed by the elusive 8 that was missing last time at 06:07 followed by 16 at 06:12, a 32 at 06:15 and another (probable) 64 at 06:17. This makes more sense with a logical 4 ,8, 16, 32, 64 progression, so I wonder why the earlier example contained a rogue 7 spoked wheel at 02:13.

I know nothing about mathematics so am I just over analysing this?

[phaumann]

@fitznicely

Very well observed!

There are n-symmetries, where n is a power of 2.

The time between these levels is decreasing by a power of -2. So in finite time you get an infinite symmetry -- a new Minibrot occurs.

[denelson83]

@fitznicely You miscounted. I counted eight spokes.

[fitznicely]

@denelson83 Yep. Looks like I did as I see 8 now. I think I must have been up VERY late when I posted that (now totally erroneous) comment.

[jacknjellify]

It's eight, not seven.

[denelson83]

I'm thinking this is what an out-of-body experience would really look like.

[denelson83]

Wow! I wonder how long it took for you to make this.

[Huntua]

existence is a lie

[JA9ize]

10:00 of life i will NEVER get back

[fractalzooms]

just amazing! love the 3d effect at the end!

[staalman]

Aaah, MB fractals....

One of the magix of maths.. Could have never dreamt of an animation like this when I got my first colour print of a Mandelbrot set in the late 80s.. :-)

Could you please up a full HD version of this video without the detailed math information in the corners? Would go nicely with some trip hop music..

[Digilsd]

could this be acquired as a HD download? This is about the most beautiful thing i've seen on the internet.

[dafaucas]

it would have been awesome in 720p, but its still greeeaaattt.

[sunscour]

Best one I have seen yet.

[iamafractal]

this is a great zoom clearly demonstrating how you get to see every single thing you've done, compressed further and further as you go deeper. And I love that you boldly went into some deep spirals where the iterations start to get really high. I also love seeing the numerical display noting just how difficult calculations are getting. Bravo!

[MrBreada]

This is a Zoom trough time and space.

[Orenotter]

Space Epic by Al Mackey is the perfect music for this, I think.

[zZeiss]

this + call past rain by world's end girlfriend = tears

[frakctured]

a glitch in the matrix at 9:08-09

[partosb]

Holy shit this is so tripppy!

[Jadell]

Yep I agree - this is the best Mandelbrot zoom on YouTube...amazing...!

[SpellboundSolution]

Do those double spirals and similar structures just spiral together forever without touching? It's strange because the M-set is supposed to be a connected set but it seems that some of these structures never touch! You can see a path on the macro scale, but as you zoom in further and further they never seem to link.

[jatin085]

Best Mandelbrot zoom video on Youtube!! I highly appreciate your quality work.. How did you arrived to the value of c? I see some text code when zoom reaches 10^334.25. What's that?

[AIMFreeman]

great work. i wish i could have it in full HD..

[athono]

Exactly 8 seconds into the video, start Led Zipplin's Stairway To Heaven and then cut the end of the video a little shorter. It is perfect.

[athono]

I remember it was a lot like that when I was a spem cell.

[TheCrapfather]

awesome! favorited...

that would be a nice screensaver

[playdrumsmofuxa]

well thats not trippy at all or anything

[DjDirtySoap]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience the grandeur of fractal exploration. Thank you.

[owlspook]

Words can hardly describe how awesome your work is with this animation! I too am into fractals since the early years. Thank you and thank your computer for all the effort and time it took to explore the Madelbrot set! This is the first time I have seen so deep within it ... (big smile) .. very impressive (big smile)

[TamisBocq]

Great work !!

[gyro9]

Phenomenal! I've been playing around with exploring the Mandelbrot set since the early 1980's with a Commodore-64, which took 4 days to make a single image. To say that you have pushed back the frontiers of exploring this most complex of all sets is an understatement. Bravo!

[djancak]

need to make a folding@home for these mandelbrot zooms

[BRUMARTUBE]

Very very impressive! Many thanks. Now I am not sure I understand the dissymmetry of the last images after 8:14. The short presence of a piece of code makes me suspect some anomaly. I may be wrong. Any idea?

[phaumann]

Hello,

there is definitly no anomaly. The dissymmetry is intended as a 3D effect and the false frame is caused from my buggy code and has nothing to do with the Mset itself.

phau

[BRUMARTUBE]

Nice to tell me. The 3D effect is impressive. It gives an impression of NDE-like tunnel!

Yet (ok I am a bit difficult), I miss a bit the Little-Mandelbrot ending. Anyway, I really enjoy that incredible piece of art. Thanks again to you and your machine.

[phaumann]

about 4 months real time and about 100 days cpu time. points calculated: 20,000,000 average iteration depth: 190,000 -> total iterations: 3.9*10^12 (=A) cpu time for point in last frame: 30 sec. average iteration depth in last frame: 1,600,000 -> about 50,000 (=B) iterations calculated per second (Mathematica 7) => total cpu time: A/B = 78,000,000 sec. on a 8-core Mac Pro: about 10,000,000 sec. These are about 100 days. Rendering/Interpolation: 4 days enjoy phaumann

[fractalwizz]

and why is there like a 3d effect at the end?

[phaumann]

Showdown ;-)

[tumnus1234]

Would you be willing to share your Mathematica code with a fellow explorer? Unfortunately, I won't have 8 cores to render with... :-(

[fractalwizz]

how long did this take to render?
