Sierpinski Triangle

The Sierpinski Triangle is a very interesting fractal shape. It is an equilateral triangle that contains an infinite number of progressively smaller equilateral triangles. Since it is a fractal, you can zoom into this shape infinitely and never reach the "end," because every time you get closer, more triangles appear around the already existing ones. Here is a video of a Sierpinski Triangle being zoomed into. Enjoy!

  1. Nice blog post! I was always interested in fractals and I love it when videos would demonstrate the zooming-in action farther than a typical human eye that wouldn't be able to do the same with a normal image on a sheet of paper.
