Mandelbrot's set is about the most complicated object mathematics ever dealt with. Its margin is of a bizarre beauty. This is why the Bremen computer graphics of the edges of Mandelbrot's set, particularly of the so-called "Sea-Horse-Valley", went around the world.

The wish to see this "infinite" voyage as a computer animation was expressed quite often, but such a project seemed impossible due to gigantic calculation times for thousands of images. But "Zoom into Seahorse Valley" now actually shows this zoomed voyage as computer animation. This was made possible through a complicated homotopica process. So from a relatively small number of image sections interlocked with each other a complete film in the style of the classic "Powers of Ten" is created. The stages of enlargement are visualized by squares blended in
for each power of ten. 'The highest level of enlargement is 100,000,000 times the original image.
