Right folks ....
I have just discovered the Mandelbrot set I am 42 and i had never heard of this until last night when i was watching a creationist lecture (i know i know)
This is the video i watched but i realise many people will not watch it as its over an hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkwCl0ymTfg
Here is a condensed visual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyCdnGIuv6I
This blew my mind and i could not believe that mathematics had this kind of mind boggling information hidden away.
Are there any Mathematicians on here that have studied this and can add anything to this thread ?
Seemingly this had been hidden from the world until the 70's/80's when we had the computing power to do it but it can infact be plotted by hand but would take a very very long time
Wiki link..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set
This should be shown in all schools imo. If i had been shown this in Maths at school , i would have been hooked.

As for the lecture, which I watched on and off while I could stomach it, anyone who comes up with the argument "you'll never see a evolutionary mathematician - 7 didn't involve from 3" as an argument for creation is really preaching to the lowest common denominator. "Its clever, it's beautiful we didn't understand it until recently, and its not made by man, therefore God" is a bit of a flimsy argument to say the least. Why not nature? Why not aliens or ghosts or pan-dimensional otters?
But nonetheless, the maths bit of it was pretty interesting.

I agree though, if you could just have edited out all the "insight into Gods mind stuff", the guy is quite good at getting a brain-bending concept across.

As for this thread, I did Mandelbrot and Julia sets at uni and my head still hurts.

First time I've seen that and I loved Maths at school.
Earth is 6000 years old eh? Who'd have thought it
Great stuff though - fascinating.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"
