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.

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

oh, nevermind. benoit is a delight as always.

[fractalgenerations]

it doesn't really make sense to say it could last longer than the universe. if that's true, we could say the decimal expansions of irrational numbers are longer than the universe as well. what a quaint documentary. i don't think good ol arthur knows much about math. i like how they don't even tell how the set is defined.

and then what !

David Gilmour did the music for this, you willy.

[maxwell williams]

Dude... LOL I'd love to explore this whole thing really.
