We will never know the real answers.

Well Infinity is the tip of the iceberg.  Real numbers: pure abstraction.  But wait abstraction is pretty much the whole point of the exercise(s) isn't it.

That video is a good start - it contains three different letters, two different words and a true sentence.
But S, I and X ought to be amongst the easiest to find in the M-Set. It's absolutely littered with those.
Letters like F or Q or R should be a bit harder to find.

Though what I saw was most definitely a still image.

So let's collaborate and create the alphabet then!!
Wouldn't it cool to be able to write your name in Mandelbrot letters?

Hmm, I'm not quite sure if it would even be possible to find a well-defined F, Q, or R in the mandelbrot set. I say that because it seems like virtually every shape in the Mandelbrot set exhibits some sort of radial or spirally symmetry. And F, Q, and R are not radially symmetric. But I'm just speculating.

That's kinda the challenge.
The less symmetric the letter, the harder it would be.
Though what I remember, and the longer this discussion is going, the more it looks like I remember wrong, was just a bunch of square cutouts from a Mandelbrot Zoom, spelling out FRACTAL FORUMS.
No whole sentences.
Of those, if I had to guess, R would be the hardest to find. C, L, S, U should be really easy. T and A are at least bilaterally symmetric. They seem doable.

Going for a full alphabet would be interesting too.
It would certainly put the claim that the M-Set contains pretty much all shapes to the test.

But if you are allowed to clip the view where you want, maybe it is possible to create also asymmetrical letter...

I read most of the posts. I think I can change the way i think about fractals. Some of the answers were actually very simple but i didnt think about the fact that there are several kinds of fractals with different properties.

Glad you came back to this thread  

I was worried we scared you off...  

It is only natural for our points of view and opinions to change  as we learn and experience more stuffs.

Change is, after all, the basic process of all life  

Just look at how we sidetracked it it into talk of finding the alphabet in The Mandelbrot Set!

It is always funny to see people change subject, it could give other people other ideas to solve things.

This was my first real post so I didnt expect so many replies. And I was actually scared of the long posts.

Btw the the letters in the mandelbrot could actually be a nice example in one of my other posts, maybe im going to change that.
