I actually have this small film by Arthur C. Clarke, its outstanding! But already a bit old, because now there are tons and tons more info on that subject, yet the movie is great and gives a clear understanding of fractal geometry explained with a lot of depth and inspiration.

did you watch the vidoe on youtube explaining the simple mathematical formula that creates these infinetely complex shapes? i think it was called fractals- the colour of infinity

I loved your video, the music everything. I did not know the software you used to make it. I have designed by myself a program in Pascal to draw a Mandelbrot set in my PC, and zoom out in chosen points. Even if I "built" that wonder, I cannot understand at all how it can exist and be so beautiful. I read a lot about fractals, imaginary numbers, and their applications in Physics, Biology, and unsuspected areas of Math like Number Theory. I keep amazed... Thank you.

Your overly grammatical use in order to make an impact is highly unnecessary, because in the end I find your not making a point at all. I'll say it simple. What we find as truth is something we resonate with within ourself. This is different from each individual. All truths differ from person to person because we have this magic; POINT OF VIEW. When you look at this you might see it as a metaphor for eternity, which then can be a metaphor for God, or timelessness. There is no definite answer.

Disregard any notion of intellectual honesty or this abstract concept predominantly referred to as 'truth' - because you love mysticism, this has to be the answer..! Funnily enough, fractal sets follow a reasonably predictable pattern - the mysticism can only lie in it's aesthetic appeal then according to you. Strikes me as somewhat superficial to say the least.

You're incredibly ignorant of the actualities of the Universe and the means by which fractals actually generate their values. Why anybody, regardless of the circumstances, would subject themselves to an hallucinogen is far beyond me. You're either an idiot for indulging in drugs or an idiot for being so unashamedly ignorant of the subtleties the Universe presents so far as it thusfar thought to be understood.

Amazing video. A favorite.

technically thats not true. we can know SOME things, just an infinitly small amount
