The roots of the polynomials of degree 24 whose coefficients are all 1 or -\ 1 (not 0).

Inspired by pictures of Christensen, Sam Derbyshire created this image. He computed all the roots of all the monic polynomials of degree 24 whose coefficents are 1 or -1, that's 224 polynomials, and about 24 × 224 roots - or about 400 million roots! It took Mathematica 4 days to generate the coordina\ tes of the roots, producing about 5 gigabytes of data. He then used some Java p\ rograms to create the image.
