Simple.  Quantum physics only applies to things in the real world, not
to mathematical constructs.

Planck's length is not 10^-33; that's a dimensionless number.  Planck's
length is about 1.6 x 10^-33 centimeters.

You'd do well to learn enough mathematics and physics to understand the
meaninglessness of that assertion before you continue to develop your
theories.  The Feynman Lectures on Physics are pretty good, and have
the advantage of being available in most bookstores.

Briefly, dimensions don't exist independently of one another, and no
dimension is first or last.  Particular dimensions are attributes of
whatever coordinate system you impose upon space.

The ideal program for ths sort of work would be something like the GIMP
or Adobe PhotoShop.  With these programs, you can type your text, move
it around, delete pieces of it, add shadows, move it around more, and
then save it when you're done as a single image.  These programs have
these nifty things called layers that make this much easier.

Paint Shop Pro 5 adds support for layers.  Other graphics programs that

Subject: Re: (fractint) Zoomable Four-in-one Julia Formula

Hi Paul,

First of all may I just say how much I really enjoy each and every one of your
wonderful formulas.
Your recent "four-in-one" series are both clever and visually compelling!

I have seen a problem, however, when rendering this one at 1600x1200:

4juls_z4           { ; Copyright (c) Paul W. Carlson, 1998

The bottom portion of the image breaks into disjointed fragments. Strangely
enough it draws OK at lower resolutions, e.g. 1024x768, or at 1600x1200 with a
viewwindow reduction factor.
Any thoughts?

Anyone else seeing this?

cheers, Les

[Kragen's reply snipped...]

I've been toying with the idea that perhaps the 'fractal formula' on which our
universe is based might someday be discovered.  This universe would be
represented, in it's entirety, by a single point in a fractal graph (i.e., 'a
pixel in a pretty picture' ;-) of possible universes.  Knowing the formula, we
could calculate the 'shape' of the graph in areas around our universe's point,
and gain insight into why our universe is the way that it is, as well as a whole
bunch of other stuff that physicists and clergypersons alike would give their
left shoe to know.

One might wonder what sort of accuracy the point on the graph of possible
universes would have to have, in order to result in our universe.  Roger Penrose
(1) uses measures of entropy and the assumption that this universe is closed
(i.e., there'll be a 'Big Crunch') to determine that the required accuracy would
be 10^(10^123), or thereabouts...

Now, there's something for the Stone Soup group to shoot for!  ;-)  And somebody
better talk to 'ol Bill and tell him we need a few 1000TeraHz chips when he's
got a sec...

My video card/monitor can't do 1600X1200 so I have no way of trying to
duplicate the problem.  I have tried it at 320x200, 640x480, 800x600
and 1024x768 with no problem.

Subject: (fractint) F'tint on a 400 MHz computer

Hi Fractalizens:

Well, I've got our favorite fractal program loaded and running on my new
Compaq Presario 4880 Pentium II 400 MHz computer. WOW!

The program runs superiorly under Windows 95. It was very easy to set up
compared with the toil it took to make it work properly under Windows 95
on my 486/66 machine. There were some noticeable improvements to Windows
95 in the four years since I bought the 486/66 that must have
contributed to the ease in making a DOS-based program to run smoothly
under Windows.

I told you that I also bought a ViewSonic 17" monitor that was capable
of operating at a 1600 x 1200 resolution. Let me first say that if you
can save up to buy a 17" monitor, by all means do so. Fractint looks
absolutely stunning on a large-screen monitor. For the past couple of
years I have wanted to buy a 21" monitor, but found the cost
prohibitive. But the prices of 17" monitors are just several hundred
dollars.

I wan't able to run Fractint at the three 1600 x 1200 resolutions
available with the program. Two were created for Lee Skinner and the
third for Sylvie Gallet. My Compaq uses an ATI 3D Rage Pro (DirectX)
adapter with ATI Capture Drivers and ATI mach64 Display Driver. (Tim
Wegner: Hint. Hint. 8-) I'm on bended knees pleading for this addition.)
I was able, however, to run Fractint at the next higher resolution above
1024 x 768 without problem.

And talk about fast! Fractint is now a regular speed demon. Might even
be able to beat out the roadrunner. 8-)

And so ends my brief synopsis of Fractint running on a 400 MHz screamer.
Got to back back to my fractalart workshop.

See ya,

Bob

Thanks for the report. Sylvie gave me this configuration for my
Diamond Stealth PCI card maybe a couple of years ago:

4f02, 120, 0, 0, 28, 1600, 1200, 256

It works on my 17" Trinitron. Good luck!

It's a fractalized mixed bag of everything from waterbugs to packing tape.  I
guess I just can't help seeing fractals as Rorschach blots, reflecting my own
inner version of the outside world!!

Subject: (fractint) FOTD Par Problems

Can someone help me with some of Jim's FOTD pars?

The following pars:

Octopus_Garden        Seahorse_scene
ThisIsNotAJuliaSet    Oblate_Inferno
Grand_Convergence    What__me_worry
Oblate_Elephant

all give a blank screen for me.  Laser Beam, which uses
the same formula (Oblate) works though (and I am using the
version of Oblate that Jim included with the pars.

Has anyone else had such a problem?

Mike,

This is what can happen when the same names are used for different formul=
as.
You probably have the OLD version of these formulas in your formula
collection.  Jim has changed them.

Oblate {; Jim Muth                     OLD version
z=3Dreal(pixel)+flip(real(p1)),
c=3Dflip(imag(pixel))+imag(p1):
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 36
}

Oblate {; Jim Muth  real(z),imag(c)    NEW version
z=3Dreal(pixel)+p1,
c=3Dflip(imag(pixel))+p2:
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 16
}

Parabolic {; Jim Muth                    OLD version
z=3Dimag(pixel)+flip(real(p1)),
c=3Dreal(pixel)+flip(imag(p1)):
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 36
}

Parabolic {; Jim Muth  real(z),real(c)   NEW  version
z=3Dimag(pixel)+p1,
c=3Dreal(pixel)+p2:
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 16
}

multirot-XY-ZW {; Jim Muth, best=3Difif, fiif, fifi, iffi    OLD version
a=3Dreal(p1)*.01745329251994, b=3Dimag(p1)*.01745329251994,
z=3Dsin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p2,
c=3Dcos(b)*fn3(real(pixel))+cos(a)*fn4(imag(pixel))+p3:
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 36  }

multirot-XY-ZW {; draws all 6 planes and many rotations   NEW version
;when fn1-2=3Di,f, then p1 0,0=3DM, 0,90=3DO, 90,0=3DE, 90,90=3DJ
;when fn1-2=3Df,i, then p1 0,0=3DM, 0,90=3DR, 90,0=3DP, 90,90=3DJ
a=3Dreal(p1)*.01745329251994, b=3Dimag(p1)*.01745329251994,

c=3Dcos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p3:
z=3Dsqr(z)+c,
|z| <=3D 36  }

I call the new versions Oblate_1, Parabolic_1, and multirot-XY-ZWa
in my collection, and the images generate fine!

I like this too.  And there's some option -- can't remember what it's
called -- that doesn't bother to fill in the boundaries/boxes, but
leaves them outlined.  I like that a lot.

I get the same problem too.  My screen gets a FUSCIA color and that's
