Franctals - The Thumbprint Of God!
The Mandelbrot set - Someone has called it the thumbprint of god - is one of
the most beautiful and remarkable discoveries in the entire history of
mathematics. With Arthur C. Clarke as narrator and interviews with a number
of notable mathematicians, including Benoit Mandelbrot, this program
graphically illustetes how simple formulas can lead to complicated results:
It explains the set, what it means, it's internal consistency, and the
revolution in thought result ing from its discovery. Asked if the real
universe goes on forever, Stephen Hawking defines it's limit of smallnes;
the mandelbrot set, on the other hand, may go on forever.
