Arthur Clarke - Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity 5 of 6

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.

David Gilmour & Pink Floyd Music Publishers did the music for this video

"Also I am told, but I have never tried the experiment myself..." Yeah, right. :P

[pjennings0001]

makes sense to relate the brain to the m-set, the imagination is infinite, like the infinite zoom of a fractal set.....it allows the imagination to be the only thing thats bigger on the inside then the outside, like one of these sets seems to be

Errrr. I hate to admit this...RE:stevemilwa 's post but also use to do the same thing when i was like 6 or 7 and see vivid shapes. Though only in two colours purple and yellow. But there where many different shapes

Party! For science...

@JackassBauer1 dark matter doesn't exist this is all there is i advice you study true science please because you sound like a retard no offence. think for yourself and stop parroting academiac bullshit.

[JackassBauer1]

The brain is an iteration of the deep space web like shaped galaxy clusters. Dark matter is a part of the fractal that our limited experience is not rendering ;)

The strange thing is, i could zoom up to one of these ants and see it in its every detail, i mean i was 12, i didnt know how an ant looked up close, but somehow i knew every little detail down to how man legs it has and everything!

I cant try to explain this to anyone because they either think im crazy or i imagined it. I was fully concious and not on any 'drugs' like the man said is possible to achieve through.

[stevemilwa]

I think i might have experienced what hes talking about. Bare with me here, but when i was 11-12, i was lying down in bed with my hands pushed against my eyes, seeing all the wierd colours, when all of a sudden the colours burst into life, and i saw an ant hill with loads of ants crawling out! it was incredible, so much detail, i could control where i was looking around this ant hill just by thinking where i wanted to go.

i love the old guy's smirk

What year is this documentary made?
