No ; sooner had I sent off the FOTD than the postperson delivered the ; March issue of 'Scientific American' magazine, which contains an ; article on common errors about the expanding universe. In the ; article it is stated that the latest estimate of the age of the ; universe is now 14,000,000,000 years, and not the 12,000,000,000 ; years that I assumed. I was off by 2,000,000,000 years. Oh ; well, with all the other debatable assumptions in my philofrac- ; tal discussion, 2-billion years is not going to make much of a ; difference. ; ; Today's image is most certainly not an assumptiom. It is an ; evaporated scene in the same parent fractal that we have been ; exploring for the past several days and will be exploring for ; several days to come. I named the image "E-M-Fields" for no ; particular reason, though these fields, which permeate the ; modern-day environment, certainly must have quite a few fractal ; aspects. And BTW, EMF pollution is another of my pet peeves, ; but that's a story for another day. ; ; Today's image is located in a disconnected bit of debris in a ; minor valley on the southwest shoreline of the large circular ; bay of the parent fractal. I rated the image at a 6. The soft ; greenish-grey daisy-like features around the edge of the image ; are soothing enough, but the too-tight cropping and too-gaudy ; colors in the spirals give the image a hectic feeling that keeps ; the rating from reaching a 7, the level where images can start ; feeling proud of themselves. ; ; Images speak louder than words, so don't just read about today's ; FOTD image. See it...by running the included parameter file or ; by downloading the completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday turned out to be unexpectedly pleasant here at Fractal ; Central, with some sun and a high temperature of 61F 16C. The ; dynamic cats had a day that was better than expected also. But ; this morning is chilly and blustery. The cats' good day will ; not be repeated. ; ; My day should be passably good -- as soon as I get the work ; behind me, that is. And the next glorious fractal will appear ; in only 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where were we when ; the big bang went boom? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= E-M-Fields { ; time=0:10:17.47--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.11693508646745340/-0.461596736962344\ 50/1.962271e+007/1/-47.5/7.17894854646017322e-007 params=5/-1.26/0.5/-12.6/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1100 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000DOVBWY9b`EeZJgXOiVTkTYnRbpPgrNltMjsLirLh\ qLgqLfpLeoLcnLbnLamK`lK_kKZkKYjKWiKViKUhKTgKSfJRfJ\ PeJOdJNcJMcJLbJKaJJaJKbLKbMKcNKcOKdPKdQKeRKeSKfTKf\ UKgVKgWKhXLhZLi_Li`LjaLjbLkcLkdLleLlfLmgLmhLniLnjK\ plLnkLmjLljMkiMjhMhhNggNffNefOdeObdOadP`cP_bPZbQXa\ QWaQV`RU_RT_RRZSQYSPYSOXTNWTLWTKVUJUUIUUHTUGTSEUQD\ VOCWMBXKAYJ9ZH7_F6`D5aB4b93c82d94b95a96_97Z99X9AW9\ BU9CT9DR9FQ9GO9HN9IL9JKBLMDNNFOOHQPJSQLTRNVSPXTQYV\ S_WUaXWbYYdZ_f_ag`ciabpZdjbeefg`jhVnjQrkLvlGzkJvjM\ riPniSjhUggXcg__fbWeeSdgPdjLcmHbpDbrAcoBdmBdkBeiCe\ gCfeCfbDg`DgZDhXEhVEiTEjQFjOFkMFkKGlIGlGGmDHmBHn9H\ n7Io5Io3Ih8JbCJXGKRKKLOLFSLGQKHPJIOJJNIJMIKLHLKGMJ\ GMIFNHFOGEPFEPEDQCCRBCSABT9BT8AU7AV69W58W48X37Y27Z\ 16Z06Y39Y6BY9DYBFYEIYHKYJMYMOYPRYRTYUVXXXXZZXaaXdc\ XfeXigXljXnlXqnXtpXvrVsoTqlSojQmgPkeNibLi_Mg`NeaOc\ bOacP`dQZdQXeGBQH9PH8OFGS } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
