The Answer To Our Universe?

I found this video just by doing a Google search for "symmetrical animation." I've seen some really amazing kaleidoscope-like animations, and I wanted to see what I could find for myself. Well, this is pretty remarkable! I could tell it had something to do with fractals and string theory—it gets pretty deep, the very, very little I know about it.

It's on Youtube, and it's called, "Deepest Mandelbrot Set Zoom Animation ever - a New Record! 10^275 (2.1E275 or 2^915)." The discussion/comments below the video are interesting, although I can't understand a lot of it.

(By the way, scroll down for screenshots.)

For example, one person commented, "A string in string theory is about 10^-35 m and the radius of the visible universe about 10^26, so that's 61 orders of magnitude, this has 275 orders of magnitude!! So if you would start viewing the scale of the visible universe at the end of the vid you would get down to something a lot smaller than a string, even a lot smaller compared to the string than the string is compared to our universe. Think about that."

Some of the comments were really funny. "I'm a scared to watch. It's so much math. I might see the face of God. Or, I might go into a deep hypnotic state. What I'm about to see is Real. It does exist. I'm about to turn my mind inside out. I'm about to travel to a place so deep, so far away, so hidden, so dark that not even light can reach, unless I allow myself to imagine, and then conceive, and then believe, and then materialize in the light of my mind. Lets Go!"

Here's another interesting one. "What I'm thinking, is that if this is a 2D representation of a fractural zoom, then this could be the answer to our universe. I know it's a big stretch (pun unintentional) but this could be the way our universe works. Unless, of course, that's the perception or illusion? But, how I see it, is that our universe isn't expanding as there is an end to everything. Sure, if Hawking's hypothesis is correct, then we are yet to reach the end of the universe; we haven't got there yet. In, my opinion the universe is one infinite fractural 'world' if you like. Going in itself over and over and eventually coming back on itself. Therefore that the illusion that the universe is ongoing when in fact it isn't. It's just the illusion :) But, is the illusion, the illusion? Quite possibly. What +WhatUwant? is saying could be plausible in that 'anything is possible'. We, are just in The Matrix which is a perception of reality. What's 'reality'? An illusion. What's an illusion? A perception of the unsure of mindfuck. Cheers."

So the Mandelbrot equation, when seen visually in a 2D presentation, seems to create this crazy design that looks like we're going further and further in or through something. It's mind-boggling. It's also really relaxing in a way (if the music isn't annoying to you).

Here are a few more Mandelbrot Zoom videos if you're interested.

Have fun!


Even without knowing or understanding anything about what the video is supposed to convey, it's super hypnotizing and trippy, and I really enjoyed watching it! I have no idea how this is done! Maybe it is the answer to our universe. ;)
