[00:05.410] Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
[00:12.430] Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
[00:18.360] I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
[00:21.210] I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
[00:24.430] The Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
[00:30.550] And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
[00:36.790] On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
[00:54.850] His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
[01:00.410] Left him well equipped to face those demons down
[01:06.330] He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules
[01:14.720] He used his giant brain and he turned the game around
[01:20.790] And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head
[01:26.890] A bulbous pointy form
[01:29.200] He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down
[01:39.260] Just Take a point called Z in the complex plane
[01:42.510]
[01:47.050]
[01:49.430] And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
[01:52.720] If the series of Z's will always stay
[01:55.550] Close to Z and never trend away
[01:58.580] That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
[02:01.100] Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
[02:04.890] You're a day-glo pterodactyl
[02:07.620] You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
[02:10.620] You're one bad-ass fucking fractal
[02:13.470] And you're just in time to save the day
[02:16.720] Sweeping all our fears away
[02:19.730] You can change the world in a tiny way
[02:29.030] Mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead
[02:34.420] Right now he's still alive and teaching math at Yale
[02:40.600] He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
[02:46.300] And his geometry succeeds where others fail
[02:52.720] If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings
[02:58.390] From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home
[03:07.690] Just take a point called Z in the complex plane
[03:10.810]
[03:13.660]
[03:16.640]
[03:19.820] If the series of Z's will always stay
[03:22.450] Close to Z and never trend away
[03:25.550] That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
[03:28.050] Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
[03:31.760] You're a day-glo pterodactyl
[03:34.650] You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
[03:37.420] You're one bad-ass fucking fractal
[03:40.600] And you're just in time to save the day
[03:43.640] Sweeping all our fears away
[03:46.700] You can change the world in a tiny way
[03:52.400] And you're just in time to save the day
[03:55.720] Sweeping all our fears away
[03:58.820] You can change the world in a tiny way
[04:01.640] Go on change the world in a tiny way
[04:04.340] Come on change the world in a tiny way
[04:09.800]
