Benoit Mandelbrot - Hunting the Hidden Dimension Nova (2008)

uploaded by teamfresh @ http://fractal.co / http://hd-fractals.com
You may not know it, but fractals, like the air you breathe, are all around you. Their irregular, repeating shapes are found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and craggy mountain ranges, even in the rhythm of the human heart. In this film, NOVA takes viewers on a fascinating quest with a group of maverick mathematicians determined to decipher the rules that govern fractal geometry.
For centuries, fractal-like irregular shapes were considered beyond the boundaries of mathematical understanding. Now, mathematicians have finally begun mapping this uncharted territory. Their remarkable findings are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating a new wave of scientific, medical, and artistic innovation stretching from the ecology of the rain forest to fashion design. The documentary highlights a host of filmmakers, fashion designers, physicians, and researchers who are using fractal geometry to innovate and inspire.

Oh hey guys-- pay attention to the video, because it's pretty cool. Also, if you don't, next time I'm out for the day, it's an MCAS packet for you.

Type "True Theory of Everything Quadrant Model of Reality 1" into YouTube for the Truth. This is the apocalypse. Apocalypse means the revealing of the secret.

zoom out far enough and you get a solar system, which looks oddly enough exactly like an atom...... hmmmm......
