August 23, 2011: A Fire Deep Inside | Aug. 22 | Aug. 24 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's fiery image shows a scene rather deep in the prominent knot on
the longest filament extending from the northeast shore line of the
main bay of the large minibrot on the negative stem of the Mandelbrot
set.
The rating of a 7.5 includes 1/2 point for the coloring, which
admittedly is a bit exaggerated but makes a lively picture nonetheless.
I have been down to the minibrot at the center, and found it is less
interesting than the scene in the image. The minibrot is
surrounded with little more than a multitude of concentric circles with
varying degrees of chaos.
The name "A Fire Deep Inside" has nothing to do with a steamy romance
novel. It refers to the lurid fiery hues filling the image.
The calculation time of 58 minutes is slow. The better choice
is
to view the finished image on one of the FOTD web sites.
Near perfect weather once again prevailed here at Fractal Central
today, with lots of sun and a temperature of 79F 26C. But the
peace was broken by a sizable earthquake in the afternoon.
The
quake shook up things quite a bit and cracked a wall in the city
administration building, which had to be evacuated. The cats
of
the fractal variety ignored the quake as they slept and chased each
other up and down the long hallway. The humans had another
day of
being busy, which is better than being idle.
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take
care,
and the visible universe is about 27.5 light years in
diameter.
But we are seeing the most distant parts in the positions they occupied
13.7 billion years ago, and they have been receding at near light
velocity since then. So how far away are those most distant
parts
at the present time? I guess it's all a matter of relativity.
