By the end, the magnification of the original image is 3e2159. Yes, that is 3 with 2159 zeros after it! To zoom into an image smoothly, you must magnify it exponentially. In this case the magnification doubles every 1.5 seconds. The human mind has great difficulty comprehending exponential. For comparison, the width of the observable universe is about 9e26 meters.
:wtf: :omg: :thumbsup:

I hate that, once I get down a minimal level I want to know what going on elsewhere
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity - RAH I'm old. I know stuff - JSOP

From the comments: > Wonder how long it took to render all the frames and what hardware is was rendered on. >>About 2 weeks rendering all up, on a 16C/32T CPU. I wouldn't try it on my old Amaiga 500. I didn't see him mention anything about what math library or program was used, but I didn't peruse all of them, either.

You could spend the rest of your life following those 'elsewheres'! :laugh:

Wow :-D 2 weeks, 16 cores, ?? GHz... That's an eye-watering number of cpu-cycles. :omg: Thanks for posting this, the thread's been fun.
And think about when such processing became available, and how it compares to today's computers: [How do computers in 2017 compare with supercomputers in the 80s to early-late 90s? - Quora](https://www.quora.com/How-do-computers-in-2017-compare-with-supercomputers-in-the-80s-to-early-late-90s). Amazing how far we've came. Of course, that may explain part of why China is so polluted, since I believe chip manufacturing is particularly bad.
