 UkendtBruger rated 6 months ago- Arthur C. Clarke's documentary on fractals, the Mandelbrot set especially. A simple math formula z = z squared + C. The secret is that it is iterated millions of times to create the cool visuals.
I'd played with a DOS :-) computer program that visualized Mandelbrot and Julia fractal...

- Arthur C Clark's documentary on the Mandelbrot set. Has interviews with Mandelbrot, amongst others, and music by Pink Floyd.
It's in six parts, so you need to escape the evil that is Stumble Video by going straight to the YouTube page here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB8m85p7GsU

I'd played with a DOS :-) computer program that visualized Mandelbrot and Julia fractals, but one thing I didn't know was that the different colours represent the speed of change towards infinity and the black (lack of colour) represented the points decreasing to 0.
Just watch all 6 pieces of the documentary on YouTube! Arthur C. Clarke does such a wonderful job of making the subject clear to us lay people.

- Part 1 of Arthur C Clarke's amazing documentary. In case this gets stumblevideoised, here are the direct links to You Tube part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6. Each video is about 9 minutes long. Stunning pictures, a brief introduction to the mathematics, astronomy, physiology, art, image processing, the collective unconscious and more.
