For Die Hard Fractal Zoom Fans. Caution: Flashing!
No matter how deep you go, there's always more.
By popular demand, I have revisited this fractal zoom but this time I've added some animation so maybe you can see the objects better.
In 1993, when i first made a poster of the image i call "blue oyster spiral," which is a zoom at about the 100 Billion X magnification level inside the Mandelbrot Fractal, it took 34 computers 3 days to render it. today, the same poster can be rendered on one typical PC in just a few hours.
Of course, since the Mandelbrot Fractal is infinite in nature, i can still easily find spots i want to explore that take a present day computer months to calculate.
I'm ambivalent about the fact that no computer will ever be powerful enough to let me see the infinite detail to be seen in there. On the one hand, there will always be more to see, every time i have access to more computing power. on the other, it will never be enough. oh well :-)

Fractal: animated in much higher resolution than this with fractal extreme.
