Mandelbrot Set Zoom

A zoom into the Mandelbrot Set, from 1:1 scale to a 6th-level mini-set. Set to Jonathan Coulton's "Mandelbrot Set" (used under the Creative Commons license; share and enjoy!)
Explanation of the Mandelbrot Set available at http://www.intellectualism.org ; click on Mathematics, then on "The Mandelbrot Set."

I think I hear Music on this Video. Delete Audio on this Video.

@jcarldeguzman The video was made specifically to go with the music. Hit mute if you don't like the audio.

The whole story behind this is that there was the mathematical term called the "julius" and when you solve it...you get that shape. And then you get it again and again...and again and so forth.

@SmexiieEmoChick Good point. Specifically, the Mandelbrot Set is a "catalog" of Julia sets. The Julia sets corresponding to points inside the Mandelbrot Set are connected; those corresponding to points outside are disjoint (infinitely so, actually.)

@AllFractUp Well, it does have a definite "end" at "Utter West" (-2,0)...

That's one badass fucking fractal.

what program do you use to generate this? I could see making one that approximates it but this is amazing!

I'm right back where i started, story of my life...

My friends and I are building a mandelbrot house:)

@nido212 No problem. Glad you found it useful.

@FlyByPC Dude, I really like your explaination of this, may I word it like that in a presentation I'm doing on Fractals? I'll give you credit and Everything.
