Arthur C. Clarke presents this unusual documentary on the mathematical discovery of the Mandelbrot Set (M-Set) in the visually spectacular world of fractal geometry. This show relates the science of the M-Set to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself. Dr. Mandelbrot in 1980 discovered the infinitely complex geometrical shape called the Mandelbrot Set using a very simple equation with computers and graphics.

we're all a pin ball bouncing around in a machine not knowing where we came from, where we are & where we're goin!!! maybe that's why the moment before death is so overwhelming!! we let go!!!
hahaha have you guys seen 2001: A Space Oddysey? of course this dudes tried lsd. and so has david gilmour who produced the music for this video... lmao.
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.
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...

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

See the video Ron Eglash: African Fractals.
