Arthur Clarke - Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity 1 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.

the psychodelic drug taking in the 60's .........really did pay off

[Iex97]

our personalities are fractals

[grassothomas]

EVERYTHING has fractal properties. From an atom, to a galaxy, to the mind itself.

@BladyBladyBlaBla watch this program in its entirety and you would understand why our personalities are fractally based.

@Iex97 i dont get it. why is this thumbsed up.

[chriswilliamstool]

looks like natural art to me colaborated very well even if its artificial, but the colour isnt in order of infinity or hold trinity in its emotion of colour, its red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet, red and yellow make orange, blue and yelow make green and also blue and violet make indigo, that order would make this everlasting affect more kool -__- plus if a rainbow had no end or beginning it certainly would look like a full circle dont you think! earth bends light awsome

Go small enough, and you're back at the largest scale of the universe. It's true

hehe 4:15 "if I blow this up..." *computer explodes*

I hate it when people say Steve Jobs is responsible for the technology around us.

When benoit mandelbrot was the person who solved the riddles of transferring packets over great distances with out a token ring among about a dozen critical things that his mathmatics solved that were a perquisite to modern electronics

It's time we examined our ailing international economies in the light of fractal behaviour - or maybe that is happening. Anyone know?

I hate to be picky about this brilliant production video but it is not sharp enough. I saw the original broadcast of this many years ago. Just so fascinating. All the M-set detail though needs as much sharpness as we can get! Many thanks for the video though.

The last part of this video (part 6) has the credits. David Gilmor is listed for the music
