Blueprints are exactly right! In college I took perspective drawing. Our teacher Jim Hulbert who was an excellent artist and had drawn cars for GM btw, told us how to plot where a shadow would fall from a cube on a flat plane. From what I recall, he told the class to each choose 1. Where the horizon line would be. 2. Where the light source in the sky would be. 3. The position and size of the cube. 4. Plot a Vanishing point along the horizon for the cube. But when it got to 5., he had a FORMULA that would dial it all in and place the shadow exactly where it belonged. I was blown away. The formula was ingenious. But I had an epiphany at the same time and that was that the formula had to have existed before any shadow could. And that would mean two things. 1, Before the first shadow was cast it was undoubtedly a LONG time ago, and 2: That intelligent formula is indeed a blueprint. So, at the risk of upsetting the Almighty, I probably would have shared that formula on the tube too! If only I could remember it! But I'd sooner think He'd be pleased.

If you’ve heard the Annunaki story about us being upgraded from Primates to gold miners, then there is one example. Slavery in America is another good example. They were taught just enough to be useful but were not allowed any real knowledge as that could lead to upheaval. The Muslim way of keeping their women under tight wraps is another example. It’s all throughout our history. Back in the Egyptian heyday it was common practice for only the Priests to have any real knowledge and even today like how the Vatican has who knows what in their vast underground libraries.

I remember my first system with a hard drive. It was cumbersome to load some programs that were contained on multiple floppies. I thought it was a real leap to get 2 floppy drives so I could have the next floppy ready to go while the previous one was still loading. I found a program called fractint some 40 years ago that set me on a path to a PhD in math. It gets complicated really fast. The Mandelbrot set based on a quadratic and the parameter space is graphed in 2 dimensions. It was pretty well explored, so I went to cubic equations. The parameter space is 4 dimensional. Holding one parameter constant, taking a slice, results in a kind of 3 dimensional version of the Mandelbrot set. I got the use of a supercomputer to look at some of these. Truly mind blowing. We used to have a video showing these sets transforming while continuously changing the fixed parameter. Wish I had a copy.

On lsd your brains symmetry is taken away so you can see the spirals that you normally wouldn't. To quote the song laturalus by tool "swing on the spirals of our divinity and still be a human". Christ said we would walk with him in eternity or we can burn for eternity. There is life after death...I seen it in my death experience. Please people...don't be blind when you can see.

Oh Infinite bodhi you know better than that! We know nothing, but inwardly we know it ALL!! Remember all of us "parts" carry the Whole within us! Creative Energy is the Whole; the main Fractal and we are the parts it spewed out as fragments of itself. We are all fractals there is no end to us. We are Vibrational Beings living in many Vibrational unending Universes. We purposely chose to be limited here in 3D. Learn to get out of your body and you will see and understand more clearly! You are more than your body! Socrates always just loved to go around spouting wisdom sounding phrases like that! He was no smarter than the rest of us! Janie

[@infinitebodhi6800]

JanieMartinSings an interesting viewpoint. All I know is that all truth I've ever found in life came from within. All things we think we know are merely just a human construct to fathom the unfathomable. Knowledge is following someone else's path. Wisdom is creating your own. In all actuality, we have our own perspective. My truth cannot be yours, just as your truth cannot be mine. That's what makes us the individual. It's what makes you who you are. Your perspective. One could never perceive reality the same as the next. Your beliefs build your perception on reality. If you believe it you can perceive it, if you perceive it you can achieve it.

Question: Has anyone graphed the Mandelbrot Set in 3-D? (Other various dimensions of space!) Also do we know why the pattern repeats itself? And in the Set how do you determine what is Z and what Value is C (do you just do 1, 2, 3 etc?) And are the Dark zones numbers that hit 0? Also can you take a fractal shape, say a snowflake and work backwards to find the equation that produced it and could you then take these equations and try and apply it to rain/weather patterns in some way? That would be so cool! Also what makes the defined lines in the Set that give it any structure at all; where do the lines and boundaries for the colors come from? What determines if a space is BLACK vs. COLORED IN???

[@Bananakid11]

using smaller impulses to transmit information, because a little imagine of this fractal like thing you saw trough the wire is enough to transmit everything. So not a full load of information sending, just little fragments. Your phone also uses fractals for its antenna. Radio waves have a wavelength of up to a couple of kilometers. To be able to receive it, you could use an antenna as big as half the wavelength, but, as you can imagine, that would be a little bit hard to accomplish. If you build an antenna, just a fraction (λ/2)/n is needing, then you can make it really really tiny. If you think about an antenna up a roof, you have a long rod holding it in place and then a few bar perpendicular to it and then on them again smaller ones.

Around 15:00, "Anybody who can add and multiply can understand the principals of it's base." I can. "You don't even have to subtract or divide", and (or because) that's where math and reality collide. Although math has always been extremely important to science, medicine, music, etc etc., it cannot accurately represent reality at it's extreme points. We live in a finite universe, inwardly and outwardly. Math only mentally carries us beyond our finite boundaries into science fiction. With math, we can divide any number in half (or by 2) "forever". But with matter, we reach a point where material can no longer be cut in half. (And that point arrives rather quickly after cutting something 1" in diameter in half just a few dozen times.) Likewise, a volume of mass can only be doubled a limited amount of times. One ironic example would be, "What is the smallest fraction?". In math, it doesn't exist. But in reality, 1 must end and 2 must begin somewhere. To me, this hearkens back to Nikola Tesla when he said “Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” Sure, Mandelbrot was a creative genius and this was a most intriguing and beautifully illustrated video. There are no doubt many more organized structures to math than we currently realize. (Indeed, I've discovered a few on my own. None as useful as Mandelbrot's. Yet anyway!). Still, kudos to my late Uncle Robert Noyce who helped Mandelbrot facilitate his calculations by inventing the micro-chip. (Why couldn't I grow up next to him!)

NoneOfYour Beeswax I believe it was covered in Ghosts of the Grand Banks...but I can't find my copy of that book to verify and it's been soooooo long since I read Fountains of Paradise that I don't remember much about that book. Regardless, the M-set is amazing. And Arthur C Clarke opened me up to so much. What I admire about his writing is that, while the story was entertaining, he (usually) used such solid science that I learned something.

[@noneofyourbeeswax01]

Yes, you're quite right, it was indeed The Ghost from the Grand Banks, thank you. My copy has a Clarke piece of Fractal in the Appendix: The Colours of Infinity and concludes: "I began by saying that the Mandelbrot Set is the most extraordinary discovery in the history of mathematics. For who could have possibly imagined that so absurdly simple an equation could have generated such - literally - infinite complexity, and such unearthly beauty? The Mandelbrot Set is, as I have tried to explain, essentially a map. We've all read those stories about maps which reveal the location of hidden treasure. Well, in this case - the map is the treasure!" - Arthur C. Clarke

Can you burp the alphabet though?

[@aprillewis6985]

It never occurred to me that a formula could create such an amazing picture. Maybe all of life is a formula and not random.

[@NoName-xt6jh]

That's why randomness is impossible. You are on the right path.

[@samnicolds7096]

Is this along the same lines as facing two mirrors together? The image never stops reflecting itself.

[@TheBITK]

There is some similarity with infinity in mind, however I don't think the fractals appear.

[@BraveCat9927]

wow, i never knew exactly why or how this was made but there it is. I started looking at these zooms after taking acid cause I got some very similar visuals on a higher dose. literally I had thousands of these rainbow fractals with infinite detail overlaid over reality, all of them moving and spiraling with the natural textures in front of me. a simple pattern turns into an ornate beautiful moving configuration. erratic patterns like a starry night turns into almost like a perfect spiral grid. I know these are just chemicals, but thats literally all our brain is anyway. and after taking one of these substances a few times I really started to see the infinite detail in everything as far as my eyes can perceive, colors feel super boosted even months after that trip. Still I do not recommend it for everyone ya gotta be ready. Anyway its just really fascinating that we can literally visualize this stuff in our head, on natural brain chemicals or even easier with some added magic either way. I literally feel so much more than material existence, even if its all i can interact with theres still many layers behind it.

Thanks for your comment @BraveCat! Although we don't condone the use non-prescription drugs, it's amazing to read testimonies like this. There is so much more to our lives than we fully know or understand. Thank you for watching!

So did he fix the telephone wire noise problem for IBM?

[@FRDETsdfs]

Frustrating the video never returned to that.

[@marcvanbloemen144]

the only reason I watched to the end and didn't find out!

[@lawnmowermanTX]

Probably not..... Fractional fracture fractures fracked the telephone oscillation units, thus causing a fractal LSD experience by fractions and someone else used an oscillating scanner and learned the telephone company (AT&T, Bell Labs) used LSD fractals to frack the fractured fractals into endless feed back looped with helpless doomed incarcerated numbers, spiraling spirals, groovy music, and followed the fractals fracked the fracking Cylon Toasters that never made toast! Wow, the endless use of fractal words!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@@raymondfrye5017 I wasn’t much into math and this unrealistic episode of using analog telephone lines to transmit data for IBM which led to a fractal frakking episode...

Nah... lol

[@Sheltieshangrila]

Damn right this is the only video people need to see! It explains fractals to where the average person can understand how mathematics explains the universe - our very existence. I'm not sure if this video goes back to the 80's or 90''s, but what I can tell you is that my (now) husband recorded this documentary on VHS tape when it first aired on TV, and he made me watch it. We literally watched it so much that we wore the VHS tape out. Years later when CD's were becoming popular, my parents bought this for him on CD as a Christmas gift. It's one of the few times I've ever seen Mark cry in over 30 years together. This video here on KZbin is not the full episode. I highly encourage everyone to buy the full episode and watch it in its entirety. This particular show dumbs down fractals enough to make the least-math-minded -brains on the planet understand how mathematics is the key to unlocking the secrets of our very existence.

[@TheBITK]

Thanks for your comment! So glad you liked it. 🙂 The idea behind this was to make provide some "basics" for all to begin to understand the vast expanse that we do NOT completely realize is around us. So much more to explore!
