    It is so interesting how literally everything in math is connected and intertwined. This is really cool because if you don’t quite understand a certain topic or problem you can look at some things you do understand and connect it to what you are having trouble with.

      That is the essence of what is known as the Langlands Program, named for Robert Langlands, who essentially created the whole schema...it relates to what are two entirely separate fields in mathematics, harmonic analysis and number theory, and the bridge that links them together.

And for the first time in a long time 33 years more or less (I'm actually 37) I understood Mathematics 😱🤯😍 And after that I found this video is like a double 🤯🤯 sorry I had to is literally mindblowing. I think I can start saying I HAD Arithmophobia. Thank you!

      I would 'guess'? it usually happens because of how cumbersome it is to get used to it from such a young age and to basically drill math into your skull by brute force.
      Maybe, for whatever reason you had a knack for math but never developed the skill to use it because of some bad experience learning it growing up, at a very critical time. But this here, this makes no sense. It's like finding a glitch in the matrix. That's why it's so fun.

    I wrote a program to generate the Mandelbrot set many years ago and the interesting part was outside the iconic shape - the colours are formed as visual representations of the number of iterations (like a contour map) with the iconic shape merely the set of values that kept on iterating. They were the boring bit! Thank you for showing me what I was missing. I'll have to revisit that code with these extra features to explore!

    Great explanation, thanks. By this construction the numerators are also the Fibonacci sequence, two terms behind the denominators. Since the ratio of subsequent terms in the Fibonacci sequences approaches the Golden Ratio as n --> infinity, this means that the ratios that you are considering approach the Reciprocal of the Golden Ratio, Squared. [I think this is right - and surely pretty well known. I just realized it from your presentation.]

    You could draw a straight line from 1/4 to the waist. Since the map is 1/2-sqrt(1/4-z), the straight line from 1/4 is still straight in the circle. And an arc subtends half the angle from a point on the circumference that it does from the center. So the bearing of the point on the circle from 0 is the same as the bearing of the point on the cardioid from 1/4.

      Soumil Sahu They don't. They explore a weird shape and say "Wow! Fibonacci sequence relates to it!"
      How do they find the weird shape to being with? Well, mathematicians make random problems up and hope they lead to something interesting. The Mandelbrot set was a lucky discovery!

      Soumil Sahu sometimes it's a Mathematician, sometimes a "non- Mathematician" notices a pattern and wants to know: "does this 'thing' ever stop or does it go on forever?" They may get bored of it, or keep studying it, or even become obsessed with it (especially if their pattern appears to present itself everywhere; it's a constant reminder.)

    We also have the start of the Fibonacci numbers 0,1,1... in the complex plane. The zero in the centre can represent t=0 the moment of now in an individual reference frame. We also have negative 1 and positive 1 with a rotation 2π that is a constant represented by ħ=h/2π. Therefore we even have the start of the Fibonacci numbers 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21... forming spiral on all levels of creation!

    OK, I see the Fibonacci series in the hyperbolic components along your circular transformation, but I still don't understand what it has to do with the number of antenna branches. Did I miss that, or did you forget to explain it?

    What happens if you apply the digital root of the numbers in the fibonacci sequence instead?
    (which happens to be a set of 24 repeating numbers? the first 12 being a 'reflection' of the second set of 12, where 1st and 13th (and therfore 25th and 38th), 2 and 14, 3 and 15 etc always add up to 9)
    1-1-2-3-5-8-4-3-7-1-8-9- (1st to 12th Fibonacci numbers)
    8-8-7-6-4-1-5-6-2-8-1-9 (13th to 24th)
    Would you find that there is indeed a repeating cycle in the mandlebrot too?

    But does 0 count as a fibonacci number?

    • @BradMcHelm
      @BradMcHelm 6 років тому +10

      By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two. Some sources omit the initial 0, instead beginning the sequence with two 1s

    • @datojokhadze7860
      @datojokhadze7860 6 років тому +3

      there are 2 definitions,one says that F1=1 F2=1,the other says that F0=0 F1=1 F2=1.But i don't think that F0 makes any impact,so it's usually omitted

    • @jony4real
      @jony4real 6 років тому +10

      In fact, there is an often-forgotten version of the Fibonacci sequence made up entirely of 0's. You start with 0 + 0 = 0, then you add the last two numbers together to get 0 + 0 = 0, then again, 0 + 0 = 0, and so on. You end up with a series (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0...) that looks boring but is actually found all the time in nature. For example, once somebody ate all my cookies, so I had 0 cookies, but the weird thing is, the next day I still had 0 cookies, and then the next day 0, and then 0... cool, right? Who says maths has no application to real life?

    Starting with 2/5 and moving against 1/2 I will find /7, /9, /11 and so on. Going clockwise moving against 1/3 I get /8, /11, /14 and so on.
    It seems any fraction can be found, not only fibonacci fractions. It all depends on the direction pattern. The fib pattern is left, right, left,...
    The pattern I found is just left all the time. Or right.
