And yet the interesting thing is, one good fractal zoom on a Mandelbrot set and you end up with something bigger than the universe:

From another zoom: “You world need a monitor 2^316 times the size of a normal one to view the whole of the first frame by the time you get to the last frame. That’s approx. 2^176 times the size of the known universe.”

The beauty of it all. Infinity in both directions.

Remember the bad old days, with shit computers, that took three frickin’ hours to deliver up a grainy 256-colour approximation of a Mandelbrot?

Young kids today, they don’t know how good they got it
