Wacky world of Fractals

Last night I medicated and decided to watch something educational on the internets. Being a science fiction fan I was looking for a documentary on a favorite author, in this case Arthur C. Clarke, when I happened upon a documentary about Fractal Geometry that he'd hosted in the early nineties.

I think that were I not medicated I wouldn't have been as into it as I was, but nonetheless its an interesting subject. Emphasis is placed on the M-Set, which is a formula that produces infinitely complex patterns. An interesting idea, that there is some way to very abstrusely model infinity with computers. I'm not a math guy, so I will take Clarke's word for it.
