I didn't see any trees.

Is that shape that looks like the mandelbrot set at the very end actually part of the set, or was it added in there artificially? If not artificial, is there any mathematical reason why this is likely to happen eventually for any chosen zoom point within the set, or was the guy just insanely lucky with his zoom decisions?

what does the B in Benoît B. Mandelbrot stand for?

This is a nice zoom, but not the greatest image quality and I don't think they found the most interesting regions of the set. I'm more impressed by this bit on Wikipedia even though it isn't animated and doesn't zoom nearly as much.

Zooming in further than zooming from the size of the observable universe to the size of a proton. It isn't new though, 2010, and i saw it before, i think in r/math.

XaoS will get you going then. Enjoy!

I've always loved this site. It's like a guided tour of the Mandelbrot set.

I swear, looking at this video fucked with me a bit and I swear I taste metal several minutes afterward. The mental sensation I feel is reminiscent of several LSD trips I have had in my past. It feels like my brain is spasming. This started happening towards the end of the video when it almost looked like colored static at certain points.

Nonetheless, I am quite impressed by the video and am even more impressed with the information presented in the blog mentioned. This guy puts some hardcore effort/computing time into this stuff.

For a computer science class I made this program that represents Julia sets with different inputs. It's for Java, move your mouse over the graph to get different Julia sets, and input different args[0] values to get different numbers of iterations.

import java.awt.Color;
public class Julia{

public static void main(String[] args){
    StdDraw.setXscale(-2.0, 2.0);
    StdDraw.setYscale(-2.0, 2.0);
    StdDraw.setPenRadius(.0001);
    for (int time=0;time<=1;time=time+0){
        for (int n=Integer.parseInt(args[0]);n<=Integer.parseInt(args[0]);n++){
            StdDraw.show(0);
            for (double x0=-2.0;x0<=2.0;x0=x0+.0085){
                for (double y0=-2.0;y0<=2.0;y0=y0+.0085){
                    double a=StdDraw.mouseX();
                    double b=StdDraw.mouseY();
                    double x=x0;
                    double y=y0;
                    for (int i=1;i<n;i++){
                        double tempx=x;
                        x=(x*x)-(y*y)+a;
                        y=(2*tempx*y)+b;
                        if ((((x*x)+(y*y))>4.0)){
                            int j=i;
                            i=n;
                            int multi=255/i;
                            StdDraw.setPenColor(new Color (255-multi*j, 0,255-multi*j));
                            StdDraw.point(x0,y0);

                        }
                        else
                        {
                            if (i==n-1)
                            {
                                StdDraw.setPenColor(new Color(0,0,0));
                                StdDraw.point(x0,y0);
                                //   StdDraw.point(-x0,-y0);
                            }
                        }
                    } 
                }
            }
            StdDraw.show(0);
        }
    }
}
