Spending so much time reading science books and articles has influenced my fractal art. The art of fractals is based on mathematics so it’s not unusual that so many of us have science backgrounds. Mine is in geology and is evidenced in my rock and mineral fractals, like “Lascaux”.

Black hole defined first as ‘micro’ / Found others like and soon did grow / And theories by those in the know / Now obsolete by this new foe / / Long reach of black hole’s gravity / Ensnare those in proximity / This cosmic born calamity / Pulls all into it’s cavity / / And gravity of all close sphere’s / They first collapse, then disappear / While black hole’s own is so severe / It’s guaranteed to persevere / / So what we knew, was proven wrong / It turns out micro holes are strong / We tread where we did not belong / And now become a black hole’s throng / / This fractal artwork was inspired after reading an abstract written by the scientists at CERN in Switzerland in regard to the safety procedures and reassurances that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will not pose any danger to humanity when they fire it up later this summer. They say that any micro black holes created by this particle accelerator will quickly evaporate if formed, this based on Stephen Hawkings theoretical equations about black holes. / / Yet, just what is a ‘micro’ black hole, as that is a relative term that applies to a size we have determined in our own dimension on our own little planet. I might also point out that they had a major failure at the LHC upon trying to fire it up on it’s original date in September 2008… and I mean major!!! / / It has also been observed in the cosmos, that black holes attract one another, then merge to become a larger, more powerful black hole… and this is not theory, as they have recorded these events in several different places in the part of the cosmos that is visible to us. The scientist at CERN also try and reassure us that we are safe because we are bombarded by micro black holes all around us every day… however that is strictly theory and has not been observed. / / We can only hope that the ignorance and arrogance of the scientists involved with the LHC project at CERN don’t create something far beyond their means to control why they attempt to cross into a realm that belongs to nature and creation itself. I guess we will all find out soon! / / The artwork portrays a small black hole forming near a planet. As the black holes own overwhelming gravity seizes the planet, it disrupts and collapses the gravitational field of the planet and also those of it’s moons. This elecro-magnetic flux disruption is a well observed fact right here on earth in just the electrical devices that we create, and the one in the artwork portrays that same property on a planetary scale. / / The original is 6000×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency and then used as a layer in Photoshop post-processing. The background gradient was created in Photoshop. The post processing was all done in Photoshop as well. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / / / /

Ingredients for cosmic soup / First add all time and space / Then heat these till you see a group / Of bubbles everyplace / / Now keep this at a rolling boil / Add dash of elements / For it’s important that they broil / Within bubble’s extent / / Next let this cosmic mixture cool / So bubbles separate / Add gravity into this pool / To give the soup some weight / / Now stir in spice called energy / To give the soup some kick / Add magnetism to degree / That makes the flavor stick / / Now spin the soup around the pan / Then turn pan upside down / And watch it fling across the span / Of everything around / / I know it seems a bit absurd / To make soup you can’t eat / But realize what just occurred / Create is this soup’s feat / / This fractal artwork was inspired by my thoughts about the ‘big bang’ theory. Science currently hypothesizes that there are many universes in existence, with each universe being contained within it’s own time/space ‘bubble’. Given that, we need to also rethink how the original ‘big bang’ that created everything happened. This artwork conceptualizes what that event may have been like. / / In this ‘big bang’ visualization, bubble universes form as time and space unfold. In my vision, not only are there bubble universes, but also subsets of universes contained within other universes… bubbles containing other bubbles. Sound far-fetched??? This is how other bubbles are found throughout all forms of nature. Nature uses fractals to build all of its structures, as was observed years ago by Mandelbrot himself. The scientific community originally laughed at, and dismissed, Mandelbrot’s observations and mathematics, stating his ideas were crazy. Years later, these theories of Mandelbrot were finally proven. Mandelbrot is currently a tenured and respected Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Yale University. As with most brilliant minds with new insight into things, they are first thought of to be just crazy. As my dear mother would often say, ‘He who laughs first… laughs last’. The artwork was created in Apophysis 2.08 3DHack . The original is 7200×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The fractal gradient was created with ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a few detail cutaways below. The detail cutaways are scaled at 33% of the full-size artwork. / / / / / / / /
