At the scale of ; today's image, yesterday's scene would be enlarged to many times ; the size of the solar system, while at the scale of yesterday's ; image the entire Mandelbrot set would also be enlarged to many ; times the size of the solar system. I have not done the cal- ; culation, but I suppose that at the scale of today's image, the ; entire Mandelbrot set would occupy a significant part of the ; visible universe. ; ; I named the image "The Minibrot Revealed". Since the name says ; it all, no further explanation is necessary. ; ; The minibrot is actually quite an impressive one, revealing as ; it does the tendency of all minibrots at such a magnitude to be ; surrounded by a large number of concentric, circular, but well ; ornamented rings. The image is well worth the rating of an 8 ; that I bestowed on it. ; ; The drawback is the extreme slowness of the image, which takes ; almost 2 hours to complete on the fractal fireball and would ; take around 10 hours on the old cold snowball. ; ; But salvation is at hand in the form of the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image will shortly be posted, if it is not already ; posted. ; ; Only a bit too much haze and a few too many clouds kept Wednes- ; day from being absolutely perfect here at Fractal Central. The ; high temperature of 75F 24C was certainly perfect enough. The ; fractal cats must have agreed, for they spent most of the day ; watching the pigeons roosting and cooing on the roof of the ; house next door. ; ; I might say my day was almost perfect also, but before I could ; make such a claim, I would have to know just what an absolutely ; perfect day would be like. So far, I have never had a day when ; nothing at all went wrong, so I guess I'll be satisfied saying ; my day Wednesday was rather good. The next FOTD will appear in ; 24 hours give or take a few. Until then, take care, and be at ; peace with the powers that be. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheMinibrotReveald { ; time=1:52:37.82-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7465\ 2317861165630378879937150792993485941/0/\ 2.106321e+037 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=50000 bailout=4 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000zzzxxzwvztuwqstnpqkkmhhhacdZ_XXZUUYRQXQN\ VNLULISIGRGDQDAOCDQDGREIRELSGMSGPUHRVHUVIXXIYXJ`YJ\ cYLeZMh_Mi_NlaNnaPqbPtdQvdQxeRzeRzfTzfTvhPliLciHUj\ DLz9Cz52z10m00i11e44a56Z79V9CRCGQ6EOJDOPCOXANb9Ne7\ Ni6Nn9MqCKtEJwHIzJIzMHzNFzQEzTDzWDzYBz`Azc9zd9zeAz\ eBxgDwgEtgEshFphHniIliIkiJhkKgkMdkMclN`lOZmQXmQWmR\ TnSRnUPqVMnUNlUPiUPgUQdSQaSRZSRXSTWSTTRUQRWNRWLRXI\ QXGQYDQYAQZ9QZ9NZAKZAIZAE`AB`C9`C6aC3aC1aD0cD0cD0c\ 00Y60`D0cJ0dQ0gX0ic0ki0mp0pw0qz0tz0vz0tz6tzEtzNtzU\ sLHUNHTPIRRIRUIQXIPYIP`INcIMzB0zcMzHPYFRWETTDWQBYN\ AZL9aI7dG6eD5h43cA5iH6pN7wU9zZ9zaDzdHvgKniOilScnXX\ q_QtdLmiHhnDct9aq7an7`l7`i7Zf7Zd7Za7YZ7YX7XU7XR7WO\ 7WM7WJ7UH7UE7RB7Q97N67M37L27P6CR9GUBJXEMZHQ`JUaMYc\ Q`dSdeVhgYlh_nibskewlhzzRCzSEzSGzSHzUIzUJzULwVMvVN\ tVPsXQqXRpXTzUenXUdZJTa9Id0Le0Mf0Nf0Qh0Rh0Ti1Uj1Xj\ 1Yl1Zl1am1zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
