Watch Fractals: Hunting The Hidden Dimension (2008) Documentary Online

They’re odd-looking shapes you may never have heard of, but they’re everywhere around you – the jagged repeating forms called fractals. Also known as the Mandelbrot Set.

If you know what to look for, you can find them in the clouds, in mountains.
Even inside the human body.

The Mandelbrot Set

In 1958, Benoit Mandelbrot begins using computers to explore vexing problems in math. They help him to understand repeating patterns in nature in an entirely new way.

He coins the term fractal to describe them and develops the Mandelbrot set in 1980. Another very enjoyable and inspiring watch!
