Mandelbrot made quite good computer pictures, which seemed to show
a number of isolated "islands" (in the Mandelbrot set M).
Therefore, he conjectured that the set M has many distinct connected
components.
(The editors of the journal thought that his islands were specks of
dirt, and carefully removed them from the pictures).
