Video of zooming in on the Mandelbrot set

Hard to believe that everything that you see in this video is generated from this simple formula: zn+1 = zn2 + c.



Plato posited that mathematical reasoning has its own existence, outside of time and space and outside of the mind.

    Jonathan, I am not into math to the degree you are, but this blows my mind. It's absolutely beautiful. I would love to have a large painting like this hanging on my wall.

    Exquisite... and almost unbelievable to me.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Betty

    Yes, the fractal video is lovely, isn't it? And amazingly, it goes on forever, subtly twisting and changing with endless complexity.
