A young student felt the urge to travel to Japan in order to study Zen. After years abroad he came back and all his friends were eager to know what he had learned in Japan. So they asked him, "What did you learn in Japan?". And the former student replied,"The eyes are horizontal and the nose is perpendicular"

Welcome to the world of fractals
In the eighties the Mandelbrot was discovered. It took over 30 years before what could be called a 3D equivalent of the Mandelbrot, the Mandelbulb was discovered (or invented). Fractals are a stunning phenomena and I believe that the implications and consequences ahead stemming from these strange worlds are unfathomable, at least at our present moment. Who knows, when we can probe space beyond the Planck length, is this what will reveal itself? Sit back, take a deep breath and gaze upon a thousand sunsets, remember all of this is created by a simple mathematical formula, none of this is "designed", this is a world created solely by mathematics.
