[00:09.77] Pathological monsters!
[00:11.91] cried the terrified mathematician.
[00:14.70] Every one of them is a splinter in my eye.
[00:20.17] I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve.
[00:22.96] I fear the Cantor Ternary Set.
[00:25.85] The Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry.
[00:31.99] And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings.
[00:37.01] On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born.
[00:48.11] His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights.
[00:53.78] Left him well equipped to face those demons down.
[00:59.26] He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules.
[01:04.48] He used his giant brain and he turned the game around.
[01:10.31] And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head.
[01:15.98] A bulbous pointy form.
[01:19.11] He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down.
[01:24.49] Take a point called Z in the complex plane.
[01:27.47] Let Z1 be Z squared plus C.
[01:30.16] And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C.
[01:32.95] And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on.
[01:35.94] If the series of Z's will always stay.
[01:38.92] Close to Z and never trend away.
[01:41.51] That point is in the Mandelbrot Set.
[01:43.70] Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire.
[01:47.08] You're a day-glo pterodactyl.
[01:49.92] You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire.
[01:52.66] You're one bad-ass fucking fractal.
[01:55.34] And you're just in time to save the day.
[01:58.33] Sweeping all our fears away.
[02:00.87] You can change the world in a tiny way.
[02:09.63] Mandelbrot's in heaven,
[02:20.57] order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none.
[02:25.81] And his geometry succeeds where others fail.
[02:31.48] If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings.
[02:37.21] From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home.
[02:45.77] Just take a point called Z in the complex plane.
[02:49.60] Let Z1 be Z squared plus C.
[02:51.49] And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C.
[02:54.08] And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on.
[02:56.81] If the series of Z's will always stay.
[03:00.10] Close to Z and never trend away.
[03:02.74] That point is in the Mandelbrot Set.
[03:04.98] Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire.
[03:07.91] You're a day-glo pterodactyl.
[03:11.05] You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire.
[03:13.73] You're one bad-ass fucking fractal.
[03:19.56] Sweeping all our fears away.
[03:22.24] You can change the world in a tiny way.
[03:27.47] And you're just in time to save the day.
[03:30.61] Sweeping all our fears away.
[03:33.29] You can change the world in a tiny way.
[03:35.58] Go on change the world in a tiny way.
[03:38.17] Go on change the world in a tiny way.
[03:45.48]
