Points Closer to Zero on the Mandelbrot Set

27 Views Asked by At

Can someone explain to me why there are points outside the Mandelbrot set which are closer to zero than a point radially outward which is in the set? I know this is true, but my intuition tells me that because complex multiplication adds the angles from the real axis and multiplies the magnitudes, numbers a number with the same angle but a smaller magnitude than one in the set should also be included.
