Mandelbrot Sets Are Cool
All the gorgeous patterns in this sequence were generated by a mathematical algorithm called a Mandelbrot Set. The YouTube blurb for this sequence states:
"If the final frame were the size of your screen, the full set would be larger than the known universe."
Amazing..
By the way, I bought an incredible screen saver/visualization software package called G-Force Platinum that has some gorgeous patterns in it similar to the Mandelbrot ones. You can download a free evaluation here.

I remember G-Force and whitecap (which they also sell,) used to be old Winamp Plugins (and one of the better ones too.) I used to have it. I'm surprised that it's still around. I also remember that this visualisation is the same one that comes w/ iTunes.
For Trippy stuff to stare at, I prefer OpenGL Screensavers like the ones here: http://www.reallyslick.com/
