Don't Panic is on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Sadly Wikipedia does not have an actual cover page, nor does it offer body debit cards to its best editors, but it is still the greatest repository of all knowledge and wisdom in the known universe.

Yes, much of it is apocryphal, or at least wildly innacurate, but it's beautiful. And since any poet can tell you that truth is beauty, and beauty is truth, Wikipedia must be true. Or at least truthy. Ve4cib 02:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Fractal Image Gallery

For a university course I had to write a program to generate fractal images. The following images have been create by me and uploaded to Wikipedia to illustrate the Julia Set:

Z_n+1 = Z_n² + C | C = -0.8 + i0.156

The original Julia set
The same set zoomed in by a factor of 10, still centered at the origin
The same set zoomed in by a factor of 100, still centered at the origin
The same set zoomed in by a factor of 1000, still centered at the origin
The same set zoomed in by a factor of 10000, still centered at the origin
