Best Visual Illusion of the Year

As you know I like Visual Illusions. Here is the best Visual Illusion of the Year.

Filling in the Afterimage after the Image
Rob van Lier & Mark Vergeer


© 2008 van Lier & Vergeer

To do:

Fixate your gaze on the center of one of the figures and stare at it for some time (20-30 seconds) while it cycles (without moving your eyes). After several iterations you’ll start noticing that the empty outlines fill in with ghostly redish or bluish colors! These illusory colors are called “afterimages”. Interestingly, the colors of the afterimages vary, which is puzzling because they come from the same original figure. Moreover, the shape of the outlines determines the filled-in color, which is complementary to the color of the same shape in the original figure.

Thanks for the Link Theo.

Is this image moving or not?

How to fix a bug by Wordpress

As I wrote here the famous Wordpress bug would be fixed in version 2.5. So my blog was upgraded to version 2.5 by Theo. The bug is gone because I now can’t insert any image. I get some javascript errors if I try. Strange way to fix a bug.

Botanist sues to stop CERN hurling Earth into parallel universe

I almost missed this. Perhaps I will have to go to Geneve before it disappears into a parallel universe. Or will we all go there?

Yellow or Blue for León

Yellow or Blue

Just for León. The “blue” tiles on the top face of the left cube are the same color as the “yellow” tiles in the top of the right cube. How crazy is that!!!
