The Magic of Fractals - HD Mandelbrot Set Zoom !

Fractals are a visual representation of the mathmatics that defines the physical universe. The Madelbrot set establishes that all reality is specific to the scale of which we interpret it



The final magnification of the Mandelbrot fractal is 6.066e+228 (2^760)




want some perspective?



1E6 Vancouver Island

1E9 Jupiter's radius

1E12 Earth's orbit

1E18 distance to Alpha Centauri

1E21 Milky Way galaxy

1E30 large doesn't cover it!

1E42 size of a proton to the universe.



1E228 incomprehensibly big...but we did it!



For the record, 1 to 6e228 is like expanding a proton to 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000 times the size of the visible universe. (i.e. mindrape)



(Proton has 1 femtometer diameter, universe has 93 billion light year diameter)



If you were actually traveling into the fractal, you would be moving faster than the speed of light.
