great video, but i wish it didn't have the cheesy music. It grates on my nerves and makes the video more difficult to watch.

At the end of this part 5 of 6, he says fractals were discovered.

It was "Mathematically-Understood" not "Discovered"

I'm not disagreeing with Clarke, just disagreeing with 1 word.

Ancient people Knew about this but they did not have computers.

Interesting how he tried to make a religious connection at the end of this segment. The priests of Ifa, Voodoo, and various other religious traditions in Africa have used fractals in art and education for millennia.

The divination system of Ifa and Voodoo uses a deterministic chaos system which is the precursor to binary logical processors.

Africa is home to cities and villages consciously built to replicate natural fractal patterns.

See the video Ron Eglash: African Fractals.

I hope everyone sees a Tim and Eric Awesome Show episode called 'Universe', because that makes much less sense than fractals... :) its just a perfect parody of when all these meta-intellectual videos lose most of their audience :)
yet, I'm sure can be seen as governed by fractals at the same time...

maybe NRO should not be thought of as the big bad wolf after all... even though it is rated high on the NWO illuminati pie chart.....
