After wearing the talisman for several days I've found out it has a very special feature:
- It points out the direction of the gravitational field !!!!

Wow, this is not special - it's magic!
You should think of offering this "Gravitation Compass" on the esotericism-market. It'll be a top-seller for sure.  :dink:

I don't think anyone really likes them ;)

"Quaternions came from Hamilton after his really good work had been done; and, though beautifully ingenious, have been an unmixed evil to those who have touched them in any way, including Clerk Maxwell." — Lord Kelvin

not true. I did like them, while I also came to an end with them. I did a lot of stupid stuff with them until the fever of the real 3d fractal revolution infected me. just some examples:

When I look at them today, they are part of my history, but surely not the worst part...

It sure does!  O0

And for quaternions, I really disliked them when I was a hardcore explorer of the mandelbulb but for this series I could see nothing more well suited. The mandelbulb julias are nice but didn't do the job for me here.
You will see...  :dink:
