you know Piner - I always love these renderings - but, I must say that I especially LOVE your renderings. Yours have a very clean look to them which makes them so much better. The effect comes across as very fine. Outstanding job.
Something I read today that helps explain this image.
"....Maybe there is a option: a larger, inclusive theory that supplants them both (Einstein’s theory of gravity and quantum mechanics). Indeed, string theory has been invented and called upon to do just that. It attempts to reduce all matter, all energy, and all their interactions to the existence of higher-dimensional vibrating strings of energy. String theory holds that different modes of vibration reveal themselves in our measly four dimensions of space and time as different particles and forces."

Basically, scientists think that the smallest form of matter is these "strings" of energy, which may look more like rings. Anyway, these stings are vibrating at incredible speeds, and depending on the frequency, wavelength, etc. of their vibrations, different forms of matter are produced.
Oh Piner, I do like this one. Another fractal going into my collection. This ...this...whatever it is...imprison's the eyeballs to the point where you cannot stop staring at it. Love the colors and where they are placed.
