:bulb:Fractals are objects that exhibit self-similarity and can be found everywhere in nature.
:cyclone:Fractals are used to model chaotic motion, such as turbulence in fluids.
:triangular_ruler:The Hausdorff dimension quantifies the space-filling nature of fractals.
:nerd_face:The Mandelbrot set is the 2D fractal that inspired the creation of Mandelbulbs.
:arrows_counterclockwise:Mandelbulbs are generated by applying the Mandelbrot set formula to 3D points.
What are Mandelbulbs?
—Mandelbulbs are 3D representations of the Mandelbrot set, a famous fractal in mathematics.
What is the Hausdorff dimension?
—The Hausdorff dimension is a measure of how well a fractal fills the space it is contained in.
How are Mandelbulbs generated?
—Mandelbulbs are generated by applying the Mandelbrot set formula to 3D points in space.
Do Mandelbulbs have infinite detail?
—Yes, Mandelbulbs exhibit infinite detail as you zoom in further.
Are Mandelbulbs used in practical applications?
—While primarily a mathematical curiosity, Mandelbulbs have also found artistic and visual applications.
