The Mandelbrot Set - Part Two - The only video you need to see!

  • This video has been edited together from several documentaries to describe the Mandelbrot set in a simple, introduction/beginner fashion!
    What is the Mandelbrot set? An incredible mathematical formula explaining fractals and geometry! Several mathematicians and scientists explain this phenomenon in clear detail.
    Please enjoy!
    NOTE: This video is for educational purposes. Approximately six hours of various clips (including from PBS) have been used to compile an overarching (not exhaustive) educational summary of the ideas between and behind the Mandelbrot set, Fractals with hints of the Fibonacci Spiral and Golden Mean/Ratio. Edits and a variety of voice-overs have been added and/or edited to create a holistic view!

      Blueprints are exactly right! In college I took perspective drawing. Our teacher Jim Hulbert who was an excellent artist and had drawn cars for GM btw, told us how to plot where a shadow would fall from a cube on a flat plane. From what I recall, he told the class to each choose 1. Where the horizon line would be. 2. Where the light source in the sky would be. 3. The position and size of the cube. 4. Plot a Vanishing point along the horizon for the cube. But when it got to 5., he had a FORMULA that would dial it all in and place the shadow exactly where it belonged. I was blown away. The formula was ingenious. But I had an epiphany at the same time and that was that the formula had to have existed before any shadow could. And that would mean two things. 1, Before the first shadow was cast it was undoubtedly a LONG time ago, and 2: That intelligent formula is indeed a blueprint. So, at the risk of upsetting the Almighty, I probably would have shared that formula on the tube too! If only I could remember it! But I'd sooner think He'd be pleased.

      I remember my first system with a hard drive. It was cumbersome to load some programs that were contained on multiple floppies. I thought it was a real leap to get 2 floppy drives so I could have the next floppy ready to go while the previous one was still loading.
      I found a program called fractint some 40 years ago that set me on a path to a PhD in math. It gets complicated really fast.
      The Mandelbrot set based on a quadratic and the parameter space is graphed in 2 dimensions. It was pretty well explored, so I went to cubic equations. The parameter space is 4 dimensional. Holding one parameter constant, taking a slice, results in a kind of 3 dimensional version of the Mandelbrot set. I got the use of a supercomputer to look at some of these. Truly mind blowing. We used to have a video showing these sets transforming while continuously changing the fixed parameter. Wish I had a copy.

    Thank you BITK for bringing science to those of us with a hunger to understand. My sister has introduced as her sister who wants to know EVERYTHING! Yet, as a high school graduate with a business major and at that early time, no thought of being able to go on to college, I missed getting the foundation in science. Studying nanotechnology through the NanoWerk newsletter, I realize that it is possible to grasp that which I do not fully understand. I loved Mandelbrot's description of his ability to picture what he was searching to understand and explain. It felt so familiar to something I often experience when I don't have the scientific terminology or mathematics behind an article but I do "see" how it all works.

In all actuality, we have our own perspective. My truth cannot be yours, just as your truth cannot be mine. That's what makes us the individual. It's what makes you who you are. Your perspective.

    I’ve alway been fascinated by the Mandelbrot set. It’s kind of like the space between two numbers on a ruler. We see the number 1” and 2”. Yet if you were to go to 1.5” then half that again, and again and again it will actually go on and on and on. Yet we know it has end because we see it on the ruler. Makes your head hurt a little.

    Question: Has anyone graphed the Mandelbrot Set in 3-D? (Other various dimensions of space!)
    Also do we know why the pattern repeats itself?
    And in the Set how do you determine what is Z and what Value is C (do you just do 1, 2, 3 etc?)
    And are the Dark zones numbers that hit 0?
    Also can you take a fractal shape, say a snowflake and work backwards to find the equation that produced it and could you then take these equations and try and apply it to rain/weather patterns in some way? That would be so cool!
    Also what makes the defined lines in the Set that give it any structure at all; where do the lines and boundaries for the colors come from? What determines if a space is BLACK vs. COLORED IN???

      Unless you are a personal acquaintance of "TMB247" (or his/her "ex"), and therefore know whether s/he and/or his/her "ex" is or is not female, then your comment says a lot about *_you_* but says nothing at all about either "TMB247" or his/her "ex". If you don't know "TMB247" personally, then you are making an assumption about the person to whom you are replying which is *SO* personal (to yourself) that it not only assumes knowledge of the behaviour, personality, and implied motivations of the "ex" *_and_* assumes knowledge of the gender of the "ex" (female, according to you, even though not mentioned by "TMB237"), but also even goes so far as to recommend a course of action regarding a person whom you apparently do not know (i.e. "fuck her", implying that you think "she" - if it was a female - should be discounted, presumably [?] due to being the party who is, in your opinion, "at fault" in breaking up the former relationship...?).
      Your comment also implies that you have, for no reason (again, unless you know one or both parties?) groundlessly assumed "TMB237" to be either a male heterosexual or a female homosexual (the two categories of person who might have a female "ex", whose gender you have assumed).

I started looking at these zooms after taking acid cause I got some very similar visuals on a higher dose. literally I had thousands of these rainbow fractals with infinite detail overlaid over reality, all of them moving and spiraling with the natural textures in front of me. a simple pattern turns into an ornate beautiful moving configuration. erratic patterns like a starry night turns into almost like a perfect spiral grid.
    I know these are just chemicals, but thats literally all our brain is anyway. and after taking one of these substances a few times I really started to see the infinite detail in everything as far as my eyes can perceive, colors feel super boosted even months after that trip. Still I do not recommend it for everyone ya gotta be ready.
    Anyway its just really fascinating that we can literally visualize this stuff in our head, on natural brain chemicals or even easier with some added magic either way. I literally feel so much more than material existence, even if its all i can interact with theres still many layers behind it.

      Yes. In an indirect way. The pattern of errors indicated that the underlying source of errors could not be attributed to a specific cause. If you could not trace the cause of errors, the best solution was to devise something that would allow you to communicate despite the errors. The solution was to adopt a scheme involving redundancy, such as parity checking. Modern systems use similar approaches, but also often use checksums for larger blocks of data.

      You certainly are onto something. Science looks both inward and outward and describes what it sees, yet the “entanglement” phenomenon between the observer and the observed suggested by bSchrodinger begins to suggest that our observed results may be somewhat influenced by the mere fact that we are observing!

It was also used to auto generate geometry in 3d space. As an engineer I'm surprised you have little respect for this line of mathematics, although I agree I don't know what it did for SNR.

This could mean our universe thats ever expanding is also the same size as a higgs bason itself. There are so many questions and were barley scrapping the surface of these things...
