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.

  • To be able to observe this kind of things makes life worth living

  • brilliant documentary, remember when channel 4 (uk) used to do whole nights of hours of this kind of stuff..

  • Ditto on the Buddha!

  • The set looks like an image of Buddha...I'm just sayin'.

  • "And what you ask, was the beginning of it all? And it is this.....

    Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being, and plunged into numberless trillions of forms, so that it might find itself innumberably."

    Sri Aurobindo

  • @darklordmol99 Sounds good to me. I'll let you know how it goes.

  • @hyperbolaisagraph Just eat shrooms for once, you'll understand this stuff better. The visions show the same activity in your brain.
