[Fractint] FOTD 05-01-13 (The Great Mystery [7])

6 Jan 2013

      FOTD -- January 05, 2013 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image rates only a 7.  Being simply another venture into 
the Z^(-4.01)+C Julia sets, it deserves no more.  But it is 
still a rather striking image, demonstrating the large variety 
of Julia sets in this area.

The name "The Great Mystery" refers not to the image, but to 
some other vague mystery only half perceived.  Perhaps, it's the 
old warhorse mystery about the meaning of life, which our 
over-revered science has so far been helpless to answer.  (It 
punts the question to religion, while implying that the beliefs 
of religion are only comforting illusions.)

The calculation time of one minute will pass in a flash, but 
when the image appears, it will neither answer the great mystery 
nor supply a comforting illusion, but it is guaranteed to be at 
least semi-real.

The pre-calculated image is really online at:

The string of typical early January days continued here at 
Fractal Central today, with variable amounts of clouds, breezy 
west winds, and a temperature of 37F +3C.  The fractal cat also 
had a typical day, taking advantage of the sun when it was out 
and taking to the heat when the sun disappeared.  The humans 
mostly took it easy.

The next FOTD will eagerly be posted when the time arrives.  
Until then, take care, and we should not propose knee-jerk 
solutions to our problems.  We should instead find effective and 
workable solutions that everyone will accept.  This is why the 
99-percent movement went nowhere and the current push for more 
gun control is futile.
