Burning Ship Fractal Deep Zoom Animation

From YT: The deepest and first ever HD deep-zoom animation into the Burning Ship fractal. This is one of the creepiest and yet stunningly gorgeous fractals ever.

A slight change in the formula that generates the famous Mandelbrot set gives this fractal incredible Gothic tower shapes. What the Mandelbrot set does with curlicues and spirals, this fractal does with lines, boxes, and angles.

This gargantuan 12,000 frame, 6 minute 40 second, high-definition video magnifies the starting image by a factor of 1.3e100, a hugely deep zoom. It may not be 3D, but nothing like this has ever been seen before!

An 800 MB, 15 Mbps 1280x720 file was uploaded to YouTube. The main HPDZ website has 40 Mbps MP4 and WMV files that are nearly flawless.

This video is dedicated to John Wallis, the 17th century English mathematician who developed the geometrical interpretation of negative numbers that led to the number line, and who pioneered a geometrical visualization of complex numbers, among many other significant contributions to the field.

wow!
So, if this initial image was the size of the known universe, how big would the final frame be?


There is no final frame. Fractals have infinite resolution.

edit: unless you mean the final frame in the zoom shown here. In which case, good question.
