A Mandelbrot the size of the known universe

Why is it that I get the feeling I'm being brainwashed by the sound effect you used?

Munchvids. Infinity is easy to understand, Anything that can happen both will happen and keep on happening. I find it quite reassuring - given forever, every possibility will happen so settle back and see what goes. It's the thought that a particular state is finite for now that upsets most people. People tend to be wary of change, despite the fact it's inevitable (for now!) The size thing is easy too. If you double things they get HUGE very quickly but changing states/matter solves that.

Possibly the coolest youtube video I have ever seen.

somebody please explain to me what this is? I get that it's some type of programming but what is the description trying to say. im confused as to how this is relevant to the size of the KNOWN universe.

The total size is growing exponentially. For example... (I'm fucking terrible at math so plz 4give) because it's "zooming down in and about twice per second. The size of your monitor (lets just say 24') 24in^210 seconds would be the total size of the object represented. Roughly the size of the universe.
2in4 ^ 10 is roughly 24 billion miles or the size of our solarsystem. Still 200 exponents to go. . . get the picture now?

@striderg3
The picture you start out with in this video, about the size of a 4"x5" piece of paper. If expanded in accordance to the zoom, ie zoomed in 100x, the paper is 100x bigger, than the piece of paper in the end of the video would be the size of the known universe.

Or some shit like that.

I wrote my first Mandelbrot scanner in 1986 in Turbo Pascal 1.0 for an IBM PC XT clone. I would wait for hours just to get a four color (three plus black) plot at a resolution (level of zoom) that this animation reaches in its first few seconds. Amazing!

in order to work our minds then a start and an end. thats why we cant figure this out

Wow. Infinity is such a difficult concept.

I like flirting with infinity. I also like how the original shape keeps repeating as though the fractal might be repeating in some bizare way that we haven't found yet.
I also like Pi.
