Mandelbrot

Is The Universe Actually A Fractal? If you take a look at the structures that form in the Universe, many of the things we see on large scales appears at smaller scales, too. The idea that, if you zoom in far enough, you’ll eventually encounter a structure that repeats the initial pattern you saw on larger scales, is mathematically realized in the concept of a fractal.

The" Mandelbrot set is the set obtained from the quadratic recurrence equation:

z_(n+1)=z_n^2+C
