Mandelbrot Fractals are endlessly fascinating. This is a video of zooming into a Mandelbrot Fractal, and one of the best I’ve seen. There is no limit to how far one may zoom into a Fractal. No math needed to enjoy this Fractal Zoom. Enjoy!!
For math nerds only: Benoit Mandelbrot discovered Mandelbrot Fractals (what a coincidence!). The math is Z= Z^2 + C iterated on the “Complex Plane.” The key to how amazing these fractals are is that they are laid out on the “Complex Plane,” which means the y-axis consists of imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers are numbers based on the square root of -1. This alone is awesome beyond belief because as any high school math student knows, there is no such thing as the square root of -1. They get around this by simply called such numbers “imaginary!” Moreover, there is no other way to get zooms of nearly infinite depth, complexity and beauty unless you DO use these impossible imaginary numbers!
All that aside, sit back and enjoy the following very deep dive into a Mandelbrot Fractal!
