Feb. 27, 2013: It's Fractal Time | Feb. 26 | Feb. 28 | 2013 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Since
the flu shot
did not work this year, we are both still feeling lethargic from the
flu here at FC today, which means the discussion will be brief.
I named the image "It's Fractal Time" because even after 24 years,
fractals are still fun. The rating of 7-1/2 indicates my lack
of
real enthusiasm for the image.
Today's scene is another dive into yesterday's parent
fractal.
Today we check very deep into the East Valley area of a minibrot on the
northeast edge of the parent's prominent 'fan'.
These fractal fans almost always appear with the 'handle' pointing west
and the open blade to the east. They are common in fractals
that
combine two negative powers of Z, but rarely appear in other fractals.
Due to its extreme magnitude, the calculation time of the image is a
slow 9 minutes, almost all of which may be saved by checking the web
sites.
So relieve all stress and calculation anxieties by viewing the finished
image on the official FOTD web site at:
Rain fell all night and morning here at Fractal Central
today.
The afternoon remained cloudy with a temperature of 45F +7C.
Nicholas, the fractal cat, gave up on the sun well before noon, but
then laid claim to my favorite TV chair, from which he would not be
dislodged. The humans meanwhile made it through another
unpromising day.
The next FOTD *will* be posted, that much is clear, what is in doubt is
the exact time it will be posted. My best guess is in 24
hours. Until whenever, take care, and if the Catholic Church
ever
starts changing its standpoint, who knows where the changes will
stop? Maybe the church will go so far as to admit that its
most
important articles of faith such as the existence of God, salvation and
heaven are not quite as certain as it has always taught.
After
all, one would think that by this time science would have found at
least a hint of something.
