stevestojan Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 The coolest optical illusion i have ever seen: http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/c...w_illusion.html Yes, A and B are the same exact shade and color...

Campy Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I've seen that 1st one before. I thought it was so cool I bookmarked it. It freaks Teresa out to the point that it made her feel nauseous, and nobody, I mean NOBODY I've shown it to believes that it's a static image.

The atmosphere thing is why the sun appears orange on the horizon. I mixed up my celestial bodies, so sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
