Arthur Clarke - Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity 3 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.

I'm way too high for this shit

[eigenflow]

That would be David Gilmour.

Wow, this is really fucking cool!!!!!

[kennyyy921]

This is the same things you see when on LSD

[daniel7899999]

incredibly fascinating.

I think we may have just discovered that we're actually living in and part of someone elses computer program.

Wow.

@Goldmotherfunker

I don't believe one is capable while dosed to discern complex mathematical juxtapositions. It

might explain why a tree's movement in the wind can make the recreational pharmaceutical user bust out with an unscheduled guffaw. I don't recall ever having a cohesive set of worthwhile data at the end of an enthralling freak-out on blotter or windowpane. I can advise not shooting your dose though. There

just isn't enough time between completing the injection and savagely "peaking".

@229095 We may hope even when we have no reason to be optimistic.

@AmoritoDeJakob not a problem !

@GrimJerr I am going to quote you, with your permission off course

@GrimJerr thanks man check out the unreal 3 engine 2011 please.

@cmzuppe Typical. After I posted my previous comment I did some web searching and found there's a load of material on Quaternary fractals and Julia sets. Looking at the images, they lack the inherent beauty of the 2-D fractals - instead, most of them look rather like dog turds that have been left out in the rain! Still, I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
