Rather like tales of a hero than an objective article, especially if you look at the comments under the pics... Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: cKleinhuis on December 31, 2009, 01:41:17 AM me also dislikes the quality of the article, it is just mentioned to use spherical coordinates, but why is not really clear ( because of easy exponentiation with polar versions, and simple adaption ... )
Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: hobold on February 05, 2010, 05:11:28 PM Der Spiegel is not a scientific publication. They are a news magazine with a reputation for good investigation into politics. But their science pieces are not really supposed to be in depth.
The German variant of Scientific American had a mandelbulb image, too. Just the image and a paragraph of plain text, without any thorough descriptions. I guess the only way for fractals to make it to the headlines is when someone finds a way to turn them into weapons of mass destruction ... Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: kram1032 on February 05, 2010, 06:06:32 PM "Muhahahaha"
Well, nothing easier than that. Just use fractal antennae to launch some kind of mass destruction rocket or stuff... Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: cKleinhuis on February 05, 2010, 07:32:46 PM couldnt it be used as defense, e.g. deferring bullets in the body ( better armor ),
or for clearing minefields or perhaps rocket shooting O0 Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: kram1032 on February 05, 2010, 11:41:07 PM yeah well, that's too peaceful to make it into the news :(
What an awkward world -.- Title: Re: Spiegel Online Mandelbulb Post by: Timeroot on February 06, 2010, 01:15:25 AM This is the article that introduces me to FF. :D |
