I love Michael and I love Vsauce but after reading the comments, seeing Bill's map, and reading his explanations of the gridlines and just the sheer amount of effort and forethought that went into his map, I'm off to buy his version. It is a thing of beauty and a work of art! I feel bad for Bill since Michael and team did not give him credit but at least watching this video lead me to finding something worth purchasing.
Jason Vint well said!
I used to respect them until they started mind field and curiosity box . It appears that money is more important for them than sharing interesting ideas and knowledge. I think they stopped posting in main channel to promote mind field. And look how he tease us in what inside the box which cost much for lot of viewers. He went that low to advertise the box.
Dude This poster is raising money for Alzhiemers research, Mind field allows him to do larger scale projects, and the curiosity box is a nice little gift for kids, i don't get why any of this is a bad thing. People have similar ideas all the time, they don't have to be ripping eachother off.
SirTatmanTat No dude, the poster is a ripped off. It even has the grid in the water like the original map has, just inaccurate because it didn't fit in the scale. The curiosity box isn't even a good box, it's mostly filled with random items that have no relevancy or anything to play with. Mind field is just arm-chair psychology show. And charity doesn't work, the money usually goes into the revue than the research itself.
@@WinterandNoodle cynicism at its finest ladies and gentlemen. It a box of things that (if you're actually into this kind of stuff) makes you think and could possibly get you thinking about various forms of science. It doesn't have to be something that physically entertains you. What are you 5? Do you need jingly keys in your face? Mindfield i haven't really watched so i can't say much about that.

Yep. Probably my biggest gripe with the map Michael's showing here, but otherwise it's solid
@@Madmagicanman1 they also totally made up the equipotential lines and external rays that make up the grid in the water... they only put them in there because they look so good on my original Mandelmap poster, except that I actually solved for them and drew them correctly! So yeah, other than the huge obvious typo, the made-up grid lines, and the fact that he totally copied my idea without giving even the slightest hint of a shout-out, it does actually look pretty decent I'll give it that.
Ouch! Proofreading Pays!
Soooo awesome! Thank you!!
The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers c for which the function f (z) = z2 + c does not diverge when iterated from z = 0, i.e., for which the sequence f (0), f(f(0)), etc., remains bounded in absolute value. Its definition is credited to Adrien Douady who named it in tribute to the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot. The set is connected to a Julia set, and related Julia sets produce similarly complex fractal shapes. Mandelbrot set images may be created by sampling the complex numbers and testing, for each sample point c, whether the sequence f (0), f(f(0)),... goes to infinity (in practice - whether it leaves some predetermined bounded neighborhood of 0 after a predetermined number of iterations). Treating the real and imaginary parts of c as image coordinates on the complex plane, pixels may then be coloured according to how soon the sequence f (0), f(f(0)),... crosses an arbitrarily chosen threshold, with a special color (usually black) used for the values of c for which the sequence has not crossed the threshold after the predetermined number of iterations (this is necessary to clearly distinguish the Mandelbrot set image from the image of its complement). If c is held constant and the initial value of z-denoted by z0 is variable instead, one obtains the corresponding Julia set for each point c in the parameter space of the simple function. Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications. The "style" of this repeating detail depends on the region of the set being examined. The set's boundary also incorporates smaller versions of the main shape, so the fractal property of self-similarity applies to the entire set, and not just to its parts. The Mandelbrot set has become popular outside mathematics both for its aesthetic appeal and as an example of a complex structure arising from the application of simple rules. It is one of the best-known examples of mathematical visualization and mathematical beauty.
