When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then. Blaise Pascal, The Thoughts
The Mandelbrot set is a perfect, independent, and immaterial origin that exists beyond space and time.
