    Michael Hogg, you are a genius. I had the pleasure of seeing Benoit Mandelbrot giving a lecture about this discovery, in Berlin, around 1995. The whole crowd was in awe when he showed his slides. I think he would feel honored and very flattered by your beautiful film. Thank you very much for making this and letting us see it.

    The Mandelbrot Set is just so stunning and beautiful ...and a lot cheaper than LSD.

    I find myself watching this again and again. It seems to get better. Beautiful! Excellent choice of music and colour!
  • Hm? The video is back. It's been 6 years since someone posted a comment, simply because the video was inaccessible! It's good to have it back.

    Mindblowing, entrancing, graceful, elegant, and most other superlatives too, but mostly INCREDIBLE
