DESCRIPTION
The story of technology is one of convergence. It is ideas applied; forged from multiple disciplines, all coinciding at the right place and at the right time.
This video is an account of a tiny sliver of that story. Where a novel concept, born out of the explosion of discovery at the turn of the 20th century, would slowly gravitate towards a problem that lied a century away.

There is an audio cut at 5:10 but a quick lookup of that quote leads to that French mathematician being Henri Poincaré.

[@opencircle1350]

Thank you. Paused immediatly and looked in the comments. Knew there would be someone. There is allways someone.

[@CMRkiller]

Here king, you dropped this 👑

[@HVAC_Sean]

Why was there a cut in the first place?

[@CMRkiller]

Might've been an error in recording, who knows

[@Beevreeter]

... and there i thought it was a government intelligence cut designed to keep us ignorant.

[@sky173]

Nice to see a face behind the voice. Still one of the best channels out here. I hope we see a blooper-reel video someday. ;)

[@NewMind]

So 40 minutes of botching a variety of mathematician names?

[@DeDeNoM]

@@NewMind It's Leibniz not Liebniz :P

[@IkarimTheCreature]

Yeah the ei in Leibnitz is pronounced like the i in "Night"

[@shoam2103]

Pleasant surprise!

[@elementiro]

@@NewMind on WIkipedia you often have audio or IPA transcription (which can be also read with IPA readers) with proper pronuciation of person's name. Still requires practise and probably many tries but it's a good starting point. :) No offense, but if I didn't know about Sierpiński's triangle myself I wouldn't be able to tell the man's name based on your pronunciation. Though it's understandable, pronunciation of words in language you don't know is always difficult, just wanted to inform you about that.

[@MrMattumbo]

Watching the visualizations gave me flashbacks to the old windows media player graphics, no wonder old-school computer applications were obsessed with fractals since for most people that'd be their first time seeing them in motion.

[@Scrogan]

Antenna design is a really complicated field, but this was a neat little probe into some of it.

[@iteerrex8166]

Just one of the 1000's of pieces of math science engineering manufacturing and on and on, that makes a mobile device a "supernatural" object that fits in the palm of your hand. Just the GPS system, has atomic clocks in orbit, and uses the theory of relativity to calculate locations. As always high quality video. Thanks New Mind.

[@morkey74]

correction it requires geometry to triangulate position. also time dilation. all needed is 2 satellites, and a fast calculation to compare the 2. more satellites the more accurate location

[@iteerrex8166]

@@morkey74 The point was that just the gps part of it uses both special and general relativities to calculate position. The special to compensate for high velocity, and the general for lower gravity, relative to the ground.

[@neur303]

I see that you present knowledge maybe in quite a challenging way for the masses, but I really appreciate the information density and even in the fields I feel knowledgeable about it's very interesting to see what light you put on them and how you present it. Even if you sometimes might some get some things not 100% right, I find it impressive at what you achieve in your videos. I find them very beautiful, thank you! 🙏❤️

[@Dan-ud8hz]

"Fractal is a word invented by Mandelbrot to bring together under one heading a large class of objects that have [played] … an historical role … in the development of pure mathematics. A great revolution of ideas separates the classical mathematics of the 19th century from the modern mathematics of the 20th. Classical mathematics had its roots in the regular geometric structures of Euclid and the continuously evolving dynamics of Newton. Modern mathematics began with Cantor’s set theory and Peano’s space-filling curve. Historically, the revolution was forced by the discovery of mathematical structures that did not fit the patterns of Euclid and Newton. These new structures were regarded … as “pathological,” .… as a “gallery of monsters,” akin to the cubist paintings and atonal music that were upsetting established standards of taste in the arts at about the same time. The mathematicians who created the monsters regarded them as important in showing that the world of pure mathematics contains a richness of possibilities going far beyond the simple structures that they saw in Nature. Twentieth-century mathematics flowered in the belief that it had transcended completely the limitations imposed by its natural origins. Now, as Mandelbrot points out, … Nature has played a joke on the mathematicians. The 19th-century mathematicians may not have been lacking in imagination, but Nature was not. The same pathological structures that the mathematicians invented to break loose from 19th-century naturalism turn out to be inherent in familiar objects all around us." - Freeman Dyson From 'Characterizing Irregularity', Science (12 May 1978)

[@Lurrer]

Uhm thank you....

[@chromakode]

Love to see you experimenting with the format and reaching for really big ideas. You're one of my favorite creators on KZbin. Thank you for continuing to tell these stories.

[@ISPY4ever]

A coworker and physic dr. met Mandelbrot once. He's truely a clever mind on it's own but always described Mandelbrot as one of a kind. He could see formulas appearing our of images and could solve it in his head while talking to you. I'm really impressed and envy I never met him :)

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

As an amateur radio operator. Anything advancing antenna related technology i approve 👍

[@LadyAnuB]

You definitely have one item in this video that is the revelation I needed to grasp fractal antennas power, the resonance of the similar triangles. Pointing out these different sections has given me the understanding of what is happening within the antenna design.

[@idontknow6859]

This video is kind of an face reveal

[@RonakDhakan]

This video makes me feel smart and dumb at the same time.

[@kylewilliamrobertson5121]

Sadly under watched and underrated. Keep up the good work mate.

[@twdodd439]

Your videos are always top notch. Always a good subject and progression from basic to detail is well paced. I would suggest maybe watching Technology Connection's video about using a tele-prompter and their setup. your eye movements give it away that you're reading. Hope it helps you match your personal performance to the quality of your vids.

[@NewMind]

Yeah it bugged me too. It was my first go at it and I just wanted to bite the bullet and make it happen. I have a lot of work to get better at it though I’m looking forward to the challenge!

[@twdodd439]

@@NewMind Dude, Bravo! You did really good in general. I would say the only times its above subtle is if you had a big word or many short words and advanced rapidly through the line of text or when you went to the next line. For a first go at it you did great, voice pitch and word intervals were smooth. maybe its just a subtle rig adjustment to solve 70% of your problem.

[@salimbenchekroun7543]

Awesome! A video about aircrafts, RF technology, antennas, and math. I couldn't ask for more!

[@WarpedPerception]

Very Nice ! But this one is tough to Title

[@NewMind]

Thanks! And yeah it’s a tough one. I gave up on being descriptive after 2 days of mulling over a title.

[@manthos.y]

Thank you for your content. It is highly informative, and your time consuming deep research for every single video is mostly appreciated and respected.

[@daveb5041]

*The fiber optic cable that goes to the control center where the pilots that fly those drones used to go through the woods in the back yard of the house I used to live in. I was digging up bamboo plants when I found it. Verizon handles the hardware. Not sure where the line goes but I suspect the line goes to a local server that goes to the pentagon, but thats not where the pilots are. Looks like they went through quite some trouble to keep it out of the way. We had a natural disaster that washed away part of it and the news reported that it was compromised so I followed it from where the flood was and it led back to the cable I found. It was just like any other cable they would use for fios but in a spot that you would never use to service houses or businesses. Dont ask me where it is, I dont want a knock on my door*

[@darksu6947]

That's probably not something you should tell everyone.

[@afajalaka]

Another interesting field we consumers don’t always get to appreciate. Very interesting and great job! Good to see you in front of the camera.

[@vxqr2788]

Amazing quality. Thanks again for the great video.

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

9:46 I'm surprised that animation was possible in '75. I heard it took a full day to render and print out the original set in ASCII when it was first discovered.

[@shoam2103]

It wasn't possible. Even the print was very low resolution

[@billbaggins]

A few pedants in the comments that don't understand how boring perfection can be. The few minor "errors" are where the personal touch shines. Keep em coming mate, this Tasmanian enjoys the great content 👍

[@deprivedoftrance]

Would it be possible to do a video on either Feigenbaum's Constant or the Fine Structure Constant? Your content is top notch and I think either video from you would be amazing to see. The way you break down complex topics is superb. Thank you!

[@prysrek8858]

Good video as always, but just as a tip for future videos: You usually pronounce German names, exactly as they are written; there are barely any silent letters, that aren't "h". And btw. the letter combinations 'ch' [in Russian: х] and 'sch' [in Russian: ш] create unintuitively different sounds.

[@andersjjensen]

Really nice episode, and nice to finally have a face to go with the voice :D

[@amberultra]

Great video! One suggestion on the new face cam: Keep your teleprompter text smaller (or just farther away) to reduce the noticeable movement of your eyes as you read. In addition, the closer it is to being in line with the camera the better! Love the channel.

[@takamori11]

Very cool video; I would recommend investing in a teleprompter if youre going to continue live segments, or look into constructing one yourself for cheap

[@dorusan]

There is beauty in fractals and in mathematics, check out non-linear fractals!

[@adecfd6c8e3fe1cd9adcad]

I noticed you used some fractal flames animations, particularly at 17:17. Can you tell us where you got that from? Such animations are somewhat rare due to the processing time they take to render. I am the author of one program which renders fractal flames, named Fractorium. Others are Apophysis, JWildfire and Chaotica.

[@vusimahlobo5378]

[@shadbakht]

Nice to see your face, but when you stand so close we can see your eyes reading text, darting left to right.

[@EscapeMCP]

Autocue too close (I learnt that from Technology Connections' video on autocue) :)

[@utubekullanicisi]

Oh, and I was wondering why KZbin recommended me this. Now having watched the video, I watched a lot of videos where people would make a short film of zooming into the Mandelbrodt equation. That’s prob where KZbin got it.

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

9:47 Mandel-brah. Definitely calling calling him that from now on.

[@Dierundeuhr]

It is nice to see a face to the voice, but there is always a way for improving. Try to tweak your settings for the telepromter or try to read the text without looking directly at each character. Less eyemovement is better for the immersiveness. Other than that it is really top notch content, love your work :)

[@EyesOfByes]

5:11 Now THAT'S how you jumpscare

[@bebokRZly]

The idea, to add yourself, is perfect. Makes movies much more pro-like. Less "slow". if you will practice, and eye movement from close shoots, will not be visible, it will be at TV level! :)

[@rlrfproductions]

One of my favourite real-world implications of fractal geometry is how most coastlines are fractal-like in nature, leading to different countries having wildly different measurements for the length of the very same coastline based on what level of granularity they used when measuring

'Everywhere continuous, but nowhere differentiable' is a surprise even now to mathematicians. Remember this and mention it to a mathematician that you know.

An old result, but little known.

We are, as is every aspect of existence, one fractal in an infinitely recursive system. It's no wonder everywhere you look you see self-similarity. It's all a scalar representation of that existence. And here's an additional thought. All of it is reflecting, like facets on a diamond, the brilliance eternally emitting from an existential source. John~ American Net'Zen

[@spaminbox]

@@NewMind if i hadn't watched all your other videos i wouldn't have thought anything of it, but the reason i found it distracting by comparison is it lowers the information density as the visuals aren't supporting the points being made. in your other videos even when the visuals aren't specifically informational, your choices are abstract enough to allow for pondering of what's being said. however, all your videos are fantastic and each one is a special treat. thanks!
