Description: I happened to be doing some methodological zooming on the Mandelbrot set. I had been especially intrigued by a video entitled "Metaphase" on HPDZ.net: http://www.hpdz.net/Anim_Metaphase.htm By following his technique, which starts out with a single cross formation and later becomes two and finally four crosses lined up in a row (the now famous "metaphase" image looks like chromosomes), I extended the process to 8, 16, and finally 32 little Xs! Every time I reiterate the process, I have to zoom many levels through the single, double, quad, and so on. After I had 32 Xs lined up in a little row, the two on either edge were so tiny they could barely be seen. I then zoom in through the center rather than go through another painful iteration. (by this point, even with my Quad-core Phenom II running at 3.6Ghz and 64 bit calcs, the iteration count was climbing and becoming numbingly slow) I zoom in further to ultimately reveal a big "X" with each of four arms each containging sixteen Xs a piece, an X made up of Xs! I tinker around with the color mapping, save the file, and render big at 2400x2400 pixels and a whopping 782.8 zooms (magnification= 4.4*10^235) - That's smaller that one divided by a googol squared!!

stardust4ever | April 29, 2013, 05:41:09 AM Thank you very much. Apparently, you haven't seen the sequel to this. It's a giant X made of of smaller Xs, which consist entirely of tiny X chromosomes. Prepare to have your mind blown: View it on Deviantart.com to download 3200x3200 PNG render: http://stardust4ever.deviantart.com/art/Magnum-Opus-Ex-3132-6-Zooms-274474754 |
bigtea | April 29, 2013, 04:30:53 AM killer diller... no need to say more. |

LhoghoNurbs | March 31, 2010, 10:02:21 PM This one is a brilliant example of a bioform. I could even bet that the X-es are chromosome pairs! |
