dipelajari oleh seorang matematikawan

bernama benwa mandelbrot mandelbrot

menemukan bahwa ternyata di balik pola

paru-paru karena itu guys siapkan

akalnya dan siapkan imannya karena kita

akan masuk pada kajian yang bisa membuat

kalian gila

[Musik]

ada yang harus kalian tahu soal

matematika Matematika pada dasarnya

bukan soal angka atau simbol tapi soal

bentuk karena pada akhirnya digunakan

untuk mengukur sesuatu dan itulah yang

dipelajari para filosuf Yunani di

awal-awal perkembangan matematika mereka

mempelajari bentuk seperti pythagoras

yang mengukur sisi miring dari segitiga

siku-siku ribuan tahun yang lalu kita

masih menggunakannya hingga sekarang

tanpa rumusnya para ilmuwan tidak bisa

mengukur jarak di bumi dari satelit yang

sekarang kita gunakan pada GPS karena

GPS sederhananya menggunakan rumus

Pythagoras di episode yang lalu kita

juga sudah membahas tentang Pi pada

lingkaran tanpa Pi para ilmuwan tidak

bisa merumuskan hukum-hukum fisika

karena Banyak fenomena yang itu

melibatkan bentuk lingkaran atau garis

lengkung kita juga sudah membahas

tentang Golden rasio Bagaimana bentuk

alam ini tampak sempurna dan tampak

indah karena rasionya yang unik dan kita

terkagum-kagum dengan Itu masalahnya

adalah kekaguman kita baru sebatas pada

bentuk-bentuk reguler sedangkan

kenyataannya di alam ini lebih banyak

bentuk yang tidak reguler kasar dan

tidak

beraturan awan misalnya atau gunung

tentu gunung tidak bisa disamakan dengan

piramida Apakah piramida lebih sempurna

dari gunung karena Gunung itu bentuknya

tidak beraturan

nanti kita lihat apakah betul

bentuk-bentuk seperti ini tidak

beraturan dan yang tampak hanya

kekacauan tapi sekarang perhatikan dulu

satu hal yang akan membuat kalian

terkejut ada sebuah permainan yang

disebut chaos game permainan yang cukup

sederhana kalian hanya disuruh

menggambar tiga buah titik di atas

kertas membentuk segi tig lalu kalian

sediakan sebuah dadu tiga titik itu

kalian beri angka sat atau dua atau EMP

l atau

[Musik]

en sekarang gambar sebuah titik di mana

saja di antara tiga titik itu secara

[Musik]

acak Nah sekarang kocok dadunya misalnya

keluar angka du maka kalian harus

menggambar titik di tengah-tengah antara

titik awal tadi dengan titik yang sudah

diberi lab angka

dua lalu kalian Kocok lagi dadunya lalu

gambar titik di tengah-tengah antara

titik terakhir dengan titik yang sesuai

dengan angkanya I roll the die this time

it comes with a five so half from my new

point to theig dot Mark and si dan

begitu

seterusnya Tentu saja titik-titik Ini

tidak tampak jadi apa-apa hanya

titik-titik acak itu karena kalian

mengulangnya hanya sedikit tapi ini yang

terjadi kalau kalian melakukannya ribuan

kali menggunakan komputer supaya lebih

[Musik]

cepat kalian lihat titik-titik itu

lama-lama membentuk segitiga yang di

dalamnya ada segitiga di dalamnya ada

segitiga lagi yang di dalamnya ada

segitiga dan seterusnya kalau kalian

teruskan segitiga di dalam segitiga ini

tidak akan pernah berakhir nah fenomen a

ini disebut self similarity artinya pola

setiap segitiga yang ada di dalamnya

walaupun terus mengecil polanya Sama

persis dengan pola segitiga yang besar

artinya polanya terus berulang Tanpa

Batas Inilah yang disebut

fraktal dan kalian saksikan tadi bahwa

pola ini terbangun dari sesuatu yang

kelihatannya

acak inilah yang terjadi di

alam contoh paling jelas adalah brokoli

ini disebut brokoli romanesco kalau

kalian potong salah satu tunasnya

bentuknya akan sama dengan brokoli yang

utuh Begitu pun kalau kalian potong

in that

mand BR adalah matematikawan kelahiran

Polandia menurut biografinya saat dia

kecil dia melewatkan pendidikan dasarnya

selama 2 tahun sehingga dia belajar

matematika secara

otodidak Justru karena itulah dia punya

kemampuan unik dibanding anak yang lain

bisa mengenali pola yang tidak dilihat

orang

lain pada tahun 7-an dia bekerja di IBM

dan karena dia bekerja di IBM Dia

mendapat akses pada ter tercanggih pada

saat itu sehingga dia bisa

menggunakannya untuk mempelajari satu

cabang dari matematika yang disebut

complex dynamical system studi yang

mempelajari sifat dinamis dari sebuah

fungsi matematis ini dipelajari dalam

matematika karena alam itu sifatnya

dinamis tidak seperti ciptaan manusia

yang statis

ma as m How that SP how

kajian dinamika Kompleks ini tidak

sekompleks namanya kalian hanya perlu

melakukan iterasi pada sebuah fungsi

matematis misalnya z^ kalau kalian

masukkan nilai awalnya 7 Maka hasilnya

49 49 dimasukkan kembali hasilnya

2.401 2.401 dimasukkan kembali hasilnya

r5.764.801 dan seterusnya dengan cepat

hasilnya akan membengkak menuju infinti

lalu kalian coba dengan angka 1 Maka

hasilnya tetap sat Tidak berubah

walaupun diulang berkali-kali kalian

coba lagi misalnya 0,9 hasilnya akan

berbeda Nah kalau kalian petakan

menggunakan komputer pada semua range

angka maka kalian akan lihat Bagaimana

fungsi matematis ini berubah-ubah secara

dinamis padahal ini hanya sebuah rumus

sederhana z^ nah mandel Brot

melakukannya pada rumus z^ + C hanya

ditambah C tapi C ini adalah angka

imaginer silakan Kalian cari tahu

sendiri apa angka imaginer yang pasti

mandel Brot melakukan iterasi pada rumus

ini dan memplotnya pada sebuah diagram

di mana Garis horizontalnya adalah angka

real sedangkan vertikalnya adalah angka

imaginer lalu dia mencari angka-angka

yang hasilnya tidak membengkak menuju

Infinity awalnya tampak acak seperti

geos game tadi tapi dengan kemampuan

komputernya IBM pada saat itu sesuatu

yang ajaib terjadi

inilah bentuk yang didapatkan mand Brad

sebuah bentuk yang sangat menakjubkan

dan tidak ada seorang pun yang menyangka

hasilnya akan seperti

[Musik]

[Musik]

ini yang menak dari Man broad set ini

adalah kalau kalian Zoom terus-terusan

kalian akan menemukan bentuk-bentuk yang

indah dan kompleks dan tidak ada

ujungnya di beberapa Sisi kalian akan

menemukan pola yang sama

berulang-ulang tapi di sisi-sisi yang

lain Kalian juga akan menemukan

pola-pola yang lain yang tidak

terpikirkan itu

[Musik]

ada sehingga menjelajahi m Brad set ini

seperti masuk ke alam mimpi

dan kalian harus ingat bahwa semua ini

didapat dari rumus yang sangat

[Musik]

sederhana diilah mandel berkesimpulan

bahwa sesuatu yang tampaknya rumit danos

sesungguhnya terdapat keteraturan di

dalamnya yang itu berawal dari sesuatu

yang sederhana

we tend to ask Where did they come from

there is something in our Heads that

says complexity does not Arise out of

simplicity it must Arise from something

complicated but what the mathematics in

this whole area is telling us is that

very simple rules naturally give rise to

very complex
