If you have ever wondered why your tiny cell-phone can capture so much 'stuff' out of thin-air, thank the inventor of the fractal antenna - Nathan Cohen. Background: A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity. -- from Wikipedia

ReplyDeleteHow do they create 3d fractals do you just feed the app the equations like the 2d fractals ?
Soso, I believe you are correct. The maker used a program call Mandelbulb, which creates the fractals and the fhy-throughs.

ReplyDeleteTo my thinking, a 3-D fractal of a spiral is probably the best model of the Universe.
That was pretty trippy!
