Deepest Mandelbrot Set Zoom Animation ever - a New Record! 10^275 (2.1E275 or 2^915)

Details:
The final magnification is 2.1x10^275 (or 2^915). I believe that this is the deepest zoom animation of the Mandelbrot set produced to date (January 2010).
Each frame was individually rendered at 640x480 resolution and strung together at 30 frames per second. No frame interpolation was used. All images were lovingly rendered by 12 CPU cores running 24/7 for 6 months.
Self-similarity (mini-brots) can be seen at 1:16, 2:30, and at the end 5:00.

Looking in your backpack for the homework you could have sworn you put in there before you left home

trying to zoom into my house on google maps

Nearly 15 years and this is still the best Mandelbrot set zoom on YouTube.

I have to imagine if we ever traverse a wormhole through space and time we might observe something like this

Isn't it the most fascinating that, in all of this, there's actual tiny mandelbrot sets hidden again and again?

To give you what in perspective a zoom of 10^275 is:- It is like somebody is on pluto and that person zooms in till the point that your city is seen and on zooming further he/she can see your house till the point that he/she can see the hair on your skin and on further zooming in even your tissues and cells that make you and then the nucleus of your cells and your very DNA and then he/she sees the very atoms that make you and on zooming further even the quarks can be seen. This is that level of zoom.

if you're on this side of youtube it's either past 1 am, or you're procrastinating if not a combination of both

I can’t believe this video was created in 2010, now I’m watching this 13 years later, there have been e10000 zooms and I still feel impressed!

its so cool how you see copies of the original shape deep into the pattern

how it feels to chew 5 gum stimulate your senses

I am supposed to be doing something else

I'm almost convinced this is what existence looks like if you zoom out. Fractals upon Fractals. Not long ago, i was on shrooms. As i lied there trying to sleep, i kept seeing mounds of Fractals pulling in on themselves. Wild patterns were pulsating. Grinding. Almost moaning.. it was a massive living thing. And it felt pain but was at peace.

There's a very apparent pattern to it and I find that very very interesting. The first time it starts expanding horizontally is when it occurs. You can draw a line horizontally at first, then it adds another line perpendicular to that one, after that it doubles the lines and it keeps doing that, going to 8, 16, 32 and so on till essentially infinity. After some zooming in another copy of the mandelbrot will appear and upon further zooming the pattern restarts. Every time it zooms enough to where the amount of lines passing through approaches infinity, you'll get double the mandelbrots from the last time (i think? didn't look into it that much) Maybe no the best explanation but it's really cool seeing it in action
