  • 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.

  • 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!

  • You reached the end of a fractal?

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

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

  • Well no shit, this is Youtube.

  • @ludosophist Your comment made me trip balls.

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

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

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

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

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

  • @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..

  • @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 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.

  • What is the purpose of this stupid mess?
