"A fractal is a way of seeing infinity." ― Benoit B. Mandelbrot
News, information, discussion images and links about fractals - you know those cool psychadelic computer generated images. eg. Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets, Cantor sets, Sierpinski triangle and carpet, Menger sponge, dragon curve, space-filling curve, and Koch curve etc.

Why are people not talking more about Ken Shirriff's work?
He seems to have stumbled upon a very interesting "complete" form of the Mandelbrot set that shows quite an elusive shape, perhaps even more accurate than the famous thing by using BOTH roots rather than one.
Can you imagine what applying this in 3d would even look like.

It seems strange that more than a decade now no one really picked up his work and took it further. Hardware is much more powerful now as this fractal is quite more compute intensive but GPUs today are easily 10x of their 2010 counterparts.

We are onto something with fractals
I can’t wait for when someone discovers what to do with all this fractal and insane naturally occurring geometry information. I feel like it’s gonna break the word
