Isn't the thing with fractals that they get more details the closer you get? It feels like there is just one fractal with one detail level, copied and pasted where ever you go.

Correct me if I am wrong, I like the site nonetheless.

Fractals have same patten across different scales. For example, the capillaries that carry blood to the lungs have branching pattern that appears to be conserved when viewing them at low resolution or high resolution

This is incredible! If you like this you might also like [1] Marble Marcher, amazing how much detail can be rendered using fractals

Is would be nice to have some way of controlling the level of detail that is rendered. And maybe some way to prevent the user from flying into the shape. It's quite disorienting when that happens, all I could see was a white screen (a refresh helped though)

Why does it turn white after going in or out after a while? Technically fractals are infinite when zooming into them. Could you add an infinite loop to give this illusion?

Fractals are amazing and so is this demonstration.
