Well I have had a 6 month dry spell. I have completely run out of ideas and most of the FOTD recently have not lent themselves to good animations. (my fault, not yours Jim!). I was ready to toss all of this, even got rid of a couple of my old systems during winter house cleaning and a bit of intoxicated depressed rage. I even stopped reading the fractint emails, and I don't know what to make of this Sebastian dude who talks funny .....


Yes I was a trailblazer earlier in the century but I can't hold a candle to some of the animations coming out now with 3D/4D stuff, mandelbulbs, 32 bit software / CUDA etc. And the UFVP (celebrating it's 10th birthday) had achieved it's primary goal with the completion of Universe #6 last year, so why not just hang it up!?  All good things come to an end, right?     :(

But alas, I couldn't part with it all just yet.

Poking around one last time something about FOTD  Nov 30, 2011   caught my eye - maybe it was the colors?
So zooming around in and out I saw many pretty pictures, and I thought a zoom animation might look good.

It does.

Nothing definitely is something. In fact, I recall a paper I read recently (physics) which describes a mathematical theory in which everything (ie., the entire universe) can theoretically spontaneously arise from nothing. Go figure.

I renamed it "Genesis" cause it kinda looks like cosmic strings ("string theory") at the start and then a little planet forms and has all this complexity .... and it keeps on going and going ...


Just shy of 3 minutes, and 49 Meg for download. Enjoy!
