The Menger Sponge is a 3D IFS fractal - IFS = Iterated Function System.
For more details on the Menger Sponge see the relevant article on Wikipedia.
For brief details on fractals also just look at the relevant document on Wikipedia.
If you want to know more about fractals generally then just Google for "fractal yale" without the quotes and go to the link for Fractal Geometry.

Has anyone successully used IFS Builder to run a 640 x 480 animation of the Sierpinski's Cube? That was the object you were looking at. I ran the program on a P4m 2.2 GHz machine for 28 hours and only had 100 frames of aniamtion to show for it. But when I had to kill the program I lost all the work I had made.

It'd be insane if someone made this for real.

fractals are all around you man. You're just a set of interlocking fractals. your thoughts are fractal in nature. everything is infinite. I know i sounded high there and i am, but what I'm saying is true. Our minds affect our reality. The way you perceive something is entirely up to you, but it is very hard to have your own concrete thoughts and your own perspective when bullshit media is flying at your face telling you how to act, talk, THINK; subliminally. Wake up to the NWO, peace in 2012.

0 volume, infinite surface area is correct.
