Perhaps the most famous of all fractals is the Mandelbrot.

Fractals have the curious aspect of becoming more and more complex the closer you inspect them, infinitely so. Back out however and look at them from a distance and all that complex random detail becomes ordered and seemingly simple.

From far away I am intrigued by those deep black holes where no detail exists, nothing at all. I wonder what’s at the bottom of that fractal abyss.
