Fractals are the images of infinity.  Fractal patterns are found all over nature, over a huge range of scales, from the microscopic to the galactic.  Infinitely complex fractals can be made using algebra and computers, and we can zoom into these strikingly beautiful patterns forever.

This image, "Seahorse Soliloquy" is a detail from the Mandelbrot Set, made by calculating the equation Z=Z squared + C trillions of times. The detail is of an object a million times smaller than a single atom!  You don't have to completely understand the aforementioned to appreciate the wonder of this 18"x24" high quality print!

Jonathan Wolfe is the man. He believes we have enough sports heroes and movie stars. What we need are some science heroes, and some math stars. Jonathan is the founder of The Fractal Foundation which uses the beauty of fractals to inspire interest in Science, Math and Art.

Everyone loves fractals!  Check out First Friday Fractals, the spectacular, award-winning fulldome planetarium show that takes viewers on a tour of the fractals in nature and zooms through infinitely complex mathematical fractals. Featuring original music, the show is both educational and highly entertaining, and suitable for audiences 3 and up.
