The Mystery Of The Mandelbrot Fractal


It's been around 30 years since we all first saw pictures of the famous Mandelbrot set. Thirty years of exploring its unending beauty and variety. Only the advent of computers made this possible, since hundreds of thousands of calculations need to be made before we can begin to see what the thing even looks like.

Probably no eye has ever seen the wonders of the 3D Mandelbrot set. This page goes in search of the elusive beast - and what could be considered by some to be the Holy Grail of fractals.
