Spooky Saturday Fractal (LXIV)

By chaoticutopia on October 27, 2007.

It’s getting to be that time of year again, when I pull the severed heads and oversized rats from the crawlspace... a time to deck the halls with ultraviolet, spider webs and witches brooms. My passion for the night of fright even bleeds into my blogging. For instance, there’s the fractal in my banner. It is the exact same Julia set that is normally there, just with a slightly different set of colors. If I were to change the fractal itself, it might come out looking something like this:

But... since I actually posted this fractal as my banner last year, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to come up with something new... or in this case, Newton. I find the resemblance between the webbed forms of this Newton set and a black widow spider to be rather spooky:

A Spidery Set

I particularly like the desktop sized version of this one... I’ll probably use it to decorate my desktop, if I can find it under all these skulls....

How Do Floating Water Bridges Defy Gravity?
The term “floating water bridge” may sound nonsensical, but it’s the most logical name for a phenomenon that occurs when two beakers of water set slightly apart are zapped with high-voltage electricity and the water molecules jump across the gap to connect and form a thin thread of water. The…
Eureka: Bridge to Dark Matter
The first time you hear about dark matter, it sounds kind of crazy-- asserting that we're surrounded by tons of invisible stuff is usually a good way to get locked up. But the process of its discovery is surprisingly ordinary: it's just what you do when you play cards. Here's the second green-…
