Today's ramblings are brought to you by Fractals...



Those amazing mathematical equations that have no end...
Care to dive into infinity with me tonight?


This particular fractal is called the Mandelbrot set...
A simple equation, an irrational number... infinite
Yet not eternal.
Infinity begins and has no end
Eternity has neither beginning or ending
The universe is not Eternal
The universe is not Infinite



This video, the famous "Powers of Ten", shows the reaches of our known universe.
Both in the macro and the micro.
Did you know that the Mandelbrot set is infinitely more complex
Then the known universe?



This image was taken deep within a gap of the set.
If you were to render the entire set at this magnification,
You would need a laptop screen 10x larger than the size of the known
universe.
Have I blown your mind tonight?
That's what you think about when you don't sleep.
Have fun in the infinity.
