The burning ship fractal looks spooky.

So you didn't happen to come across the mathematical description of that fractal in 3D?

The equation is quite simple, having the form:

X = Union( F1(X), F2(X), F3(X), F4(X), F5(X) )

for five linear transformations F1, F2, F3, F4, F5. See Wikipedia here.

In fact, the equation can be expressed even more simply using a function H which scales things by 0.5, together with five vectors Vi, and writing Fi(X) = S(X) + Vi.

Nice really cool fractal.

Dunno, it looks awesome though

I just got some news that really made my day (if not month!):

Free Online Course Materials | Audio/Video Courses | MIT OpenCourseWare

MIT have a lot of courses in mathematics available for free, really great lectures and lots of material for those who are interested.

(They also have for other subjects, but who would use that? )
