Newton's Fractal (which Newton knew nothing about)

The video explores the concept of fractals, particularly focusing on Newton's method for finding polynomial roots and its application in computer graphics. It delves into the complexity of fractals in the complex plane, highlighting the unpredictable nature of root-finding algorithms. The video also discusses the peculiar properties of fractal boundaries and their implications, concluding with a reflection on the potential for future discoveries in mathematics.
