in other words "all the evidence" boils down to "Infinity does not exist because it wouldn't make sense to me," and the variation on that, "Infinity does not exist because I wouldn't be able to calculate it."  this perfectly and succinctly illustrates the unfortunate world view even lots of brilliant minds rigidly adhere to.
Notions of infinity do make sense to me.  As an abstraction.  Notice I'm not really taking a physics model as a reasoning, that was just tossed that out as a bullet point.  I'm taking a pure mathematical one.  Information theory.  Infinity and infinitesimal require infinite information.  But more than that, by Cantor's proof most real numbers are irrational and therefore require infinite information each.

the problem with this type of argument in my view is that it evolves from an underlying assumption that a fundamental, immutable property of reality and the universe is that it cannot possibly hold any properties which a homo sapien living on earth in the 21st century AD cannot comfortably understand and calculate with his maths.

On the contrary!

It says that just because a homo sapien living on earth in the 21st century AD can comfortably understand and calculate something with his maths does not necessarily mean it exists   afro

We make calculations using infinity every day. And many of us believe in things that can never be subjected to such rigor  (like god, reincarnation, Santa Claus, Karma, a Sentient Universe/Planet, and even Ceiling Cat!). But merely being able to calculate something mathematically does not make it real.

if we were being perfectly honest, i think this belongs more in the aforementioned "belief" and "taking sides" range of activities which, again, would ideally occur outside of science.

Again, I beg to differ.

Science is all about "taking sides" and "belief systems" in order to devise and test new theories.

Without believing in their theories before they are proven, there would be precious little motivation to devote lifetimes to gathering supporting evidence for them.

In this respect Science and Religion have much in common.  To truly "Believe" in The Big Bang is every bit as much a leap of faith as belief in any supernatural being (or even Infinity) - with the main distinction being that Science always leaves room for new evidence to change our prevailing theories, while religion insists that nothing can ever change their beliefs.

yes i agree the same base motivations like self-promotion, self-aggrandizement, and tribalism that inspire and perpetuate things like religion do not magically disappear when it comes to humans attempting to engage science.  it is simply unfortunate that a selfless desire to know the universe regardless where the answers lead is not motivation enough, and exponentially more unfortunate are the implications this has regarding the merit and reliability of the human institution of science.  undecided

The beauty of the 2D Mandelbrot is because we can colorize points based on how fast we can determine that they are not in the set. If we only look at the points that are inside the set, they form boring circles and a few cardioids.
So it might be that the idea of a 3D Mandelbrot is fundamentally wrong?
Not quite so. Here I removed all the colouring just the insides or outsides. Max iteration limit of 250 did the rest. Of coarse If you increase maxiter to 2500 you 'll get 3 small minibrots. This works almoust like colouring just it would be almoust impossible to manualy guess the border.

"But I don't know if I think for example Steven Hawking is arrogant in this topic..."
In wikipeda this argument is listed as logical fallacies 'appeal to authority'.

"yes i agree the same base motivations like self-promotion, self-aggrandizement, and tribalism that inspire and perpetuate things like religion do not magically disappear when it comes to humans attempting to engage science."
Well I read article about science in my country. It said, we have a lot of female scientists not becouse of equality but becouse in our country science have no such glory (and $). Probably even science works in the same natural / biological categories of alfa scientists.

p.s.
Maybe this could be turned into Folding Int Pow. One of the most popular formula in hybrids.

Hellooo wink

Johan I must find out thise formulas wink

Not sure I can get them all working? The one(s) I finished is very nice especially pow2 wink

EDIT; Also I didn't use cabs() in my formula sqrt(a*a + b*b) but simply (a*a + b*b). Just testing cabs() and it looks a lot less nice actually sad So I will keep old function Azn
