Amazing Optical Illusions
Ranked #6,786 in Education, #150,954 overall
Optical illusions truly amazing
To complicate things even more I recently watched a video explaining 'The Tenth Dimension' , a famous theory presented by the greatest scientist of the 21st century - Albert Einstein. I was having enough trouble understanding these 2D illusions as it was and I ran into that video. What more could be worse for my tiny brain.
Welcome to my illusion lens. Enjoy, blurb and share!

For how long can you stare at this swirl ?
Amazing illusion, try following the waves closely. Waves constantly die out and re-evolve as part of fresh waves. Nicely done.
Nothing is what it seems....
Guess what happens here.
Can you imagine the size or the shape of the square in the middle never changes?
To prove the point the square alone is displayed in the first frame.
Cool huh!

The Unimaginable
I still can't figure this one out. It doesn't matter how many explanations you get scientifically, you won't get your head around this.
As the picture explains the squares marked A and B are the same shade of gray.
I think it's a lie.....hmmm may be not.

How many cubes can you see?
Everybody gets this wrong the first time.
'how many cubes can you see? The rules are you cannot count the 'overlapping' cubes.
Have you got the answer? Check if you're correct!.

Sneak a peak at ebay
Spot the spots
Do you spot the spots in the white junctions inbetween the corners of the squares? This is a famous illusion. An interesting one too..

Imagining the Tenth Dimension
Tenth Dimension an elusive theory?
Will the human race ever be able to prove the existence of higher dimensions?
Theoretically yes. But there's a world of a difference between a theory and a proven scientific fact.
Do you agree higher dimensions exist?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, it'll be proved right someday.
No, because it's impossible to prove their existence.

They're all theories still. Quantum theory, String theory etc....
In my opinion a theory is just a theory and not established science.

- Thanks for the comment. Since checker shadow image has a lot of doubt, I've added another module showing the separated A and B boxes. The illusion passed my test.

- great lens! checker shadow illusion is questionable, I isolated both squares and they are different colors, the only thing that is the same, is the letter A and B are the same color, so maybe this is what it is asking...5*
