Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes…

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Magic & Illusions

Not really magic – it is science but optical illusions so magic-adjacent. I thought about this because of a question on a Winchester Election paper about strobe lighting. They are two quite long videos but I thought they were worth sharing, particularly for those who like optical illusions. They left me baffled but delighted.

If you have gone to the trouble of watching both of those videos I think you should be spared questions. You have worked hard enough.

    1. Very cool sir!
      I am quite bamboozled by this,
      it’s cool that colour is influenced by surroundings!
      Did you know that Every eye colour — yes, even green — is actually some shade of brown, thanks to the melanin inside the iris. Light bounces off this melanin in different ways and creates a sort of optical illusion, allowing us to see vibrant greens and blues! This is another cool fact to do with eyes, and colour!
      Great post!

    Let me know what you think...
