In the world of Star Trek, ; warp-10 equals infinite velocity, the velocity of a hypothetical ; tachyon that has totally exhausted its energy. But in the ; equally fantastic world of fractals, warp-10 describes an image ; of a Mandelbrot midget that looks as though it is moving at a ; very high velocity. The velocity is not infinite, but the mid- ; get is moving faster than the velocity of light in the medium, ; presumably a gas, through which it is moving, and is emitting ; Cherenkov radiation as it plows along. ; ; The scene, which is sliced in the Parabolic direction, shows a ; sub-midget located deep in East Valley of the large midget on ; the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. Its appearance shows ; why I named this particular orientation the Parabolic. ; ; The rating of a 6 might be a bit conservative. Having been here ; often before, I found the scene almost automatically, and had no ; surprise when I saw the final result. A good part of the rating ; of the FOTD images comes from the satisfaction I get from seeing ; something new. If I had never before seen an image like ; today's, I would have rated it around a 7. But as it is, the ; rating of 6 will have to do. ; ; The render time of 46 seconds is less than it will take to visit ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and download the completed GIF image from there. But for those ; with handicapped computers unable to run Fractint parameter ; files, it might be the only way of viewing the image. ; ; With some sun and a high temperature of 52F 11C, Friday was ; pleasant enough to merit the approval of the dynamic duo. In ; the evening a light thunder-shower moved over, but by then the ; duo had finished their outdoor exploration and were enjoying ; their tuna. Today is starting sunny and only slightly colder. ; The duo should grant their approval. For me it looks like an ; average day coming up. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and be of fractal heart. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Warp-10 { ; time=0:00:46.90--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=flip/ident center-mag=+0.0003416292/0/1144.691/63839 params=9\ 0/0/2/0/0/0.00025/-1.75/0 inside=0 maxiter=2500 logmap=220 periodicity=10 symmetry=xaxis float=y colors=000D0FD0DE0AF58G66G94HC5HF6II7IM8JQ9JVAKZBK\ cCPhDUmEZqFcwGhzGmzJrzMvzPzzSzzVzzYzv`zrczmfzhimcl\ cZodUrePufMxbKuZOrVSpRXmN`kJdhFieBmc7q`3uZ7s_Aq_Dp\ `Gn`JlaMkaPibSgbVfcYdc`bdccdZgXUmPPrIKxAGz3Iz5Jz6K\ x7Mw9NvAOsBQrDRpESnFUmHVkIWiJYgLZfM_eN_dN_bN_aN_`N\ Z_OYYPXXQWWRVVSUUTTTUSSVRRWQQXPPYOOZNN_MM`LLaKKcJJ\ eIIgHHiGGkIHmQIoVQq_WpeanjglpmjushzyfxxcwxavxZuxXs\ wUrwSqwPpwNnqSllXjg`ibegYjeUncUsbUwU`dMcNPOMSRLUSL\ XUKZWJaYJd_IfaHicHkeGngFphFphDpgCpeBpdApb8p`7pY6pW\ 5pT3pQ2pN1pM0hSIaYZVcoTdkRdhPeeNebLf_JfXHgUFgREgOJ\ hRNhUSiWWiZ`j`djcikfmkhrlkvlmrmhomdkm_hnWenSanNZnJ\ WoFSoAPo6Mo2esPywkwufvtbusZsrVrqRqoNpnJnmFmlBlk7kj\ 3ih4hf5fd5eb6d`7b_7aa8`c9Ze9YgAXiARkFLmKFoO9qT4sX8\ uVCwTGxRKyPOzNSzLWzJ_zHczFgzDkzBhzFezIbzL_zOXzRUzU\ RzXOz_LzbIzeFzhCzk9zn6zq3zt0zwBzpLzjVzddzZnzTxzNjz\ XXzfJzp6zyBzwAzOAzMBzKCzH } frm:multirot-XY-ZW-new {; draws 6 planes and rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p3, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p4: z=z^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
