Redpill me on the Mandelbrot Set. What is this thing? What's the point of it? Why does it look like that?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 4 15:24:22 2020 No.12420104 Mandelbrot programmed a computer to display an equation visually, the program takes the equation and graphs the values where the equation does not equal infinity.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 4 15:37:22 2020 No.12420135 It's just the graph of [math]z_{n+1} = z^2 + c[/math] with the number of iterations before it diverges given a color value.
