Universe is a form of Mandelbrot diagram – albeit a 3D version with
stars and planets. If you look at the picture of a nebula and compare it to
the Mandelbrot set, you can see how this is a tempting conclusion.
In the Game of Life the rules are simple yet the behavior simulates
little animals being created and destroyed. Of course, there are no
actual animals. The things you see on the screen, ‘gliders’, ‘walkers’, and
‘cannons’, just hang together accidentally. But, Wolfram considers these
