Fractals are where a computer keeps computing a math problem over and over again (an infinate repeteable formula). The numbers keep being changed in a pattern or order... and in the end, you've got some far-out pictures.
The guy who came up with the idea of feeding a fractal equation into a computer was named
Mandelbrot
On March 1,1980 he used the formula Z=Z2(squared)+C. Except that where the equal symbol is he used a double ended arrow... to tell the computer to keep recalculating the problem over again. The end result is known as the "Mandelbrot Set". There's a couple of links below...

And it is this...Exsistance that multiplied itself for the sheer delight of being and plunged into numberless trillons of forms So that it might find itself innumerably...~~~SRI AUROBINDO
