    When I was young and in school, I used to look at the tip of a freshly sharpened pencil lead. I reasoned that, on a molecular scale, every 'grain' (actually atom - I didn't know the term at the time) had a tip of it's own, and I imagined this tip going on forever, only so small that I couldn't see it. This video reminded me of that thought.

    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!

I have lots of ideas why they would want their slaves just smart enough to keep bringing in tax dollars yet not quite smart enough to see they are being fleeced. I remember when America was in the top three as far as education goes. Now we’re like 23rd or worse. If you’ve heard the Annunaki story about us being upgraded from Primates to gold miners, then there is one example. Slavery in America is another good example. They were taught just enough to be useful but were not allowed any real knowledge as that could lead to upheaval. The Muslim way of keeping their women under tight wraps is another example. It’s all throughout our history. Back in the Egyptian heyday it was common practice for only the Priests to have any real knowledge and even today like how the Vatican has who knows what in their vast underground libraries.

    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.

      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.

    Around 15:00, "Anybody who can add and multiply can understand the principals of it's base." I can. "You don't even have to subtract or divide", and (or because) that's where math and reality collide. Although math has always been extremely important to science, medicine, music, etc etc., it cannot accurately represent reality at it's extreme points. We live in a finite universe, inwardly and outwardly. Math only mentally carries us beyond our finite boundaries into science fiction. With math, we can divide any number in half (or by 2) "forever". But with matter, we reach a point where material can no longer be cut in half. (And that point arrives rather quickly after cutting something 1" in diameter in half just a few dozen times.) Likewise, a volume of mass can only be doubled a limited amount of times. One ironic example would be, "What is the smallest fraction?". In math, it doesn't exist. But in reality, 1 must end and 2 must begin somewhere. To me, this hearkens back to Nikola Tesla when he said “Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” Sure, Mandelbrot was a creative genius and this was a most intriguing and beautifully illustrated video. There are no doubt many more organized structures to math than we currently realize. (Indeed, I've discovered a few on my own. None as useful as Mandelbrot's. Yet anyway!). Still, kudos to my late Uncle Robert Noyce who helped Mandelbrot facilitate his calculations by inventing the micro-chip. (Why couldn't I grow up next to him!)

      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).

    wow, i never knew exactly why or how this was made but there it is. 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.

    When I was younger I used to always think that, it should be considered amazing how we can add two numbers together and get another like 1 + 1 = 2, even though there’s an infinite amount of space between 1 and 2, so how can we get to 2 if there’s an infinite amount of space - but it’s only infinite if we measure it. If we don’t, and keep them perfectly whole numbers, we can get to 2.

    • @TheBITK

      Very good point! even though there's an infinite amount between 1 and 2, there is, at some point, a spot that the numbers flip from 1.x to 2.x, whats fascinating to me with that, is that we get to decide ourselves when we want that change to happen... it's infinite but we can control it.

      using smaller impulses to transmit information, because a little imagine of this fractal like thing you saw trough the wire is enough to transmit everything. So not a full load of information sending, just little fragments.
      Your phone also uses fractals for its antenna. Radio waves have a wavelength of up to a couple of kilometers. To be able to receive it, you could use an antenna as big as half the wavelength, but, as you can imagine, that would be a little bit hard to accomplish. If you build an antenna, just a fraction (λ/2)/n is needing, then you can make it really really tiny.
      If you think about an antenna up a roof, you have a long rod holding it in place and then a few bar perpendicular to it and then on them again smaller ones.

      Slice caps into thin strips, dry them in the Sun till crisp, crush to small pieces and simmer for 20 - 30 min, strain and drink.

      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.

      I programmed my first Mandelbrot set in 1985 on an Atari 400 in color. It took AGES to plot (in BASIC). But I projected it on a big screen behind my friends' psychedelic rock band in bars. So their 15 minute jams worked "organically" with the gradual drawing of the wild shapes.
      I started off converting the algorithms in the _Scientific American_ August, 1985 "Computer Recreations" column by A. K. Dewdney ("A computer microscope zooms in for a look
      at the most complex object in mathematics"):
      www.scientificamerican.com/media/inline/blog/File/Dewdney_Mandelbrot.pdf
      into BASIC, and found some other chaos algorithms like the Henon Map
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9non_map
      to implement. Really mindblowing stuff, especially when it was new.

    • @GaryMcKinnonUFO
      @GaryMcKinnonUFO 7 лет назад

      +Matthew Rubenstein, that's really cool :) I first read about fractals in the Guardian newspaper, i can't remember where i got the algorithms but i think it was some kind of pseudo-code so easily translated into BASIC, i remember Henon maps too. I think i got the Mandelbrot set to draw the fastest i could get it by first checking every coordinate along the edge of the square it was currently plotting, and if all of those resulted in teh colour 0 (black), then that area of the screen could be ignored and the next box could be fetched. I'm amazed at the 3D fractals you can generate now, still amazing :)

    • @matthewrubenstein2957
      @matthewrubenstein2957 7 лет назад +1

      So your algorithm was drawing bounding squares before their interior in the rendering plane? And if the bounding square was all convergent pixels you knew the interior was all convergent? I wasn't aware Mandelbrot sets worked that way.
      I once heard Mandelbrot tell a UC Berkeley audience a funny story about a Hollywood special effects gig that hired him to render a fractal "mountain range". The producer came by after a while (weeks) to see how it was going, if it was done, but it wasn't. Mandelbrot told him it would take an unknowable amount of time to finish rendering one large triangle along the bottom/side. The producer said "we'll just crop it to what's already done", and did so. Mandelbrot and wife were invited to the movie premiere, were watching it, Mandelbrot glowing with the reflected stardom, when his wife gave him a big pinch. "THAT's NOT A FRACTAL!" she hissed in his ear. After years of watching so many she could recognize one, or an *invalid* one, on sight. Which was a funny story, but even more intriguing that the human brain can instantaneously validate geometry as we still cannot analytically either in theory or in computational practice.
      So I'm not sure your approach made valid fractals. Or else maybe it's a geometry innovation that bears publishing. Or else I'm totally out of touch with the state of the fractal art since the 1980s, with the exception of a shallow knowledge of Garnet Ord's fractal time physics.

    • @GaryMcKinnonUFO
      @GaryMcKinnonUFO 7 лет назад

      I wonder what they used for the mountain-range if it wasn't his fractal? To clarify my bounding-box approach, it was a recursive algorithm where the first box stored in the bucket list was the entire screen, then the four boxes within that, etc ... So, if the current box is within an area that's all black then that box doesn't need to be rendered. It sped up the process enormously (assuming there's lots of black in the area your'e looking at).
