Forgetting ; the fact that I have no connection with e-bay, I wonder how the ; sender knows what will happen three days in the future. This ; proof of precognition will certainly put those fun-spoiling ; skeptics to rest. ;-) What it means for causality is another ; question. ; ; Today's image is nothing to be skeptical of. It rates a solid ; 7. The circular shield with its fiery orange filaments reminds ; me of a blazing sun, inspiring the name "Helios". It is a zoom ; into yesterday's image at one of the obvious places where a ; smaller midget is hidden. ; ; Being well beyond the limit of conventional math, today's image ; is a slow one, requiring 1-1/2 hours to render. But I have sent ; the finished GIF image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, so ; it will soon be available for download. The FOTD web site may ; be accessed at: ; ; ; ; With a high temperature of 95F 35C, and equally high humidity, ; Monday was far too hot for the fractal cats to spend much time ; outside. They went out and came back in within 1/2 hour. A bit ; of thunder spoiled the evening serenity, but no rain fell and ; the day ended peacefully. Today is starting, if anything, even ; hotter. I expect the duo will pass the day in the coolest spot ; they can find. ; ; For me it looks like a busy day. Until the next FOTD, which ; will appear in 24 hours, take care, and what a boring world it ; would be without fractals. I wonder why we didn't realize this ; before we discovered them. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Helios { ; time=1:31:10.50--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.4234602660592528076535857/0.15643604\ 194886129901658507/1.253262e+021/1/-164.9383192598\ 18911/-0.0138128078133419874 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000KMNKLNKLNKKNKKNKJNKJNKINKINKHNKHNKGNKGNK\ FNKFNzN_zVMza9waCtaFqaHnaKkaMhaPeaSbaU_aXXaZUaaRad\ ObfNciMdkMenMfpOaoQXnRSmTOlUJkWFjXCiWBjVAjUAjT9jS8\ kR8jQ7iP7hO6hN5gM5gM4gL3hK3hJ2hI2hH1gG0fF0eE0eD0bC\ 0bB0aB0`C0`C0aC0bD0bD0cD1cE1cE2bE2bF3bF3cF4cG4dG5e\ G5fH6fH6gH7hH7iIKkJRkKZlLulMsmNqnNooOmpOkqPiqQgrQe\ sRdtRbuS`vTZvTXwUVxUTyVRzVQzYTv`WrbZneakgdgjgclj_o\ mXtpTwsPzuMztNztNztNysNxsOwsOvrOurOtrOsqPrqPqqPppP\ opPnpQmoQloQkoQjnQinRhnRgmRfmRemRdkRcjRbiRagR`fR_e\ RZcRYbRXaRW_RVZRUYRTWRSVRRURQSRORRMQRKORINRGMRELRF\ KQGJPHJPIIOJHOKHNLGNMGMNFLOELPEKQDKRCJSCJTBIUBITEK\ THLSKMSNNRQORTPQVQQYRP`SPcTOfUOiVOkWQjXSjXUjXViYXi\ YZiY`iYahZchZehZfg_hg_jg_lg_mf`of`qf`rf`oc_m`_kZ_h\ W_fTZdRZaOZ_LZYJZXKYWKYWKYVLXULXULXTLXTMWSMWRMWRNV\ QNVQNVPNVOOUOOUNOUNOUONVPMVQLWRKWSJXTJXUIYVHYWGZXF\ ZYF_ZE__D``C`KONKNNKNNKMN } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
