Does anyone know if that visualization is representative or just an illustration? I’m struggling with how all these parameters (mass, speed, and relative direction for all three objects) could map to a fractal on a 2 dimensional plane.
I'd bet a thousand dollars that when graphed, these islands of regularity will correspond to the graph of the Mandelbrot set.
Why Mandelbrot, specifically?
