Amazing morphing 3D mandelbox fractal zoom

fractalco
yes for those of you that don't know, the famous Mandelbrot fractal set is now available for your viewing pleasure in 3D!
This link is to the same type of fractal but with static parameters.

Benoit Mandelbrot - the man who discovered the mathematical equasion these fractals are based on was a Jewish genius who fled the Nazis - how many times will the technological history of our age include that phrase?
He didn't discover the basic maths of fractals, but he took an obscure, unfashionable concept, that you can explore the space between two dimensions and three dimensions, and showed its fundamental role in the fabric of the world.
here is an animation of the original 2D set.
