#3"an unauthorized seller on Amazon was selling poor-quality counterfeits of the map and even though it wasn’t his fault, Tavis offered to replace any of the crappy maps for free." what a nice gesture!

I do like the style of that version more if it wasn't for the enormous typo in the middle of the map on Main 'Cardiod'.

#5These look so cool!

#6Fun fact, all real islands are islands of infinite coastline due to the fractal nature of natural coastlines.

"Look! @tweetsauce imitated my #Mandelmap poster! I am more flattered than annoyed but seriously folks - accept no substitute for the real thing and get your poster at http://mandelmap.com"
On top of which, the Vsauce version has a typo in giant letters: "Main Cardiod"

#9Very cool! I just finished a for-fun mandelbrot drawing program; I was familiar with the image, but I had never delved into the math. It's an extremely simple algorithm, which makes it that much more surprising it creates so much complexity.

If there's a minimum length (the Planck length?) then space is discrete and the measurement bottoms out at some point, it would be infinite if space was continuous and infinitely divisible.
