[Fractint] FOTD 06-03-13 (Ship of Space [8])

6 Mar 2013

      FOTD -- March 06, 2013 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

A ship that sails on the stellar winds of space -- how romantic. 
A fractal ship that sails abstract mathematical hyperspace on 
the winds of numbers -- well, maybe not quite as romantic, but a 
lot more real than space ships will ever be.

Today's image shows a fractal ship plowing through four-
dimensional space on its way to who knows where.  I named it 
"Ship of Space" when I luckily turned the original image, which 
looked nothing like a ship, upside down before discarding it.

The formula, MandelbrotBC2, is an early version of the 
MandelbrotBC3 formula.  I like to bring up the old formulas now 
and then to see what I can do with them.

The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a fair price for the 
scene.  And luckily, the FOTD web site problem has been solved 
for good (I hope) and the image is posted there.

The finished images are once again being posted to the official 
FOTD web site at:

Lots of clouds darkened the skies here at Fractal Central today, 
while the temperature held around a quite reasonable 43F +6C.  
The fractal cat, now into the 'senior cat' group, spent the day 
sleeping on his high bookcase.  The humans passed the day doing 
lots of human and a few inhuman things.

The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
whenever, take care, and we will never get any significant part 
of our energy from things like solar panels and wind turbines 
for the same reason that we stopped using wind to propel our 
large sea-going ships.
