I just left a wonderful math class and learned about fractals, the Mandelbrot set etc etc...its all in this video... this is something so simple yet so complex. God is evident in every one He has created and in every thing we see. Every person must view this video!

I've had this unique video tape for years. But now I gave up my VHS player for a Blu-ray player.

Why don't they convert Colors of Infinity to Blu-ray or at least make a DVD version? The moving fractal images that are shown are just beautiful along with a great soundtrack. Arthur C. Clarke and Benoit Mandelbrot do an excellent job explaining fractal geometry as do other experts. This video would look beautiful in HD and breathtaking in Blu-Ray.

While a bit of a "trip" with the graphics and music from Pink Floyd, the video is a good layman's explanation of how fractals are part of our existence. One gets the feeling that fractals are as important as time, space and E=Mc2 and are all interrelated and unified. I first saw this on PBS several years ago and have been wanting to add it to my collection of "Connections" and "COSMOS". I suppose time will tell if the video's claims of mathematical purity are true.

Well, I would love to buy this dvd, but it is WAY too expensive. Is anyone listening out there?
