Scientific illusion

Scientific illusion

noims says...

It's a nice enough illusion (if old), but... "according to science an illusion has been created that will blow your mind."

Did science determine that it was created or that it will blow my mind? Was this outcome published and peer reviewed?

According to science hyperbolae is extremely annoying and detracts from a nice simple concept. Bitches.

Something weird happens when U look at fake bugs in mirror

Note it’s not just the reflection, but the direct viewpoint also switches/remains stable while rotating.
It’s making use of 3 dimensions viewed in only 2 dimensions to pull off the trick. I like these viewpoint dependent “illusions”. They are getting more intricate thanks to AI…I’m still impressed by the Escher impossible shape static sculptures.

That’s it. The economic numbers are all amazing, crime statistics are good, but it’s an illusion, things are really just about to crash and burn…
tomorrow…
tomorrow….
we’ll all die, tomorrow…if Orange Hitler does-n’t winnnnn!

Miraculously that tomorrow never comes. You’ve been saying things are just about to fall apart since February 2021…hasn’t happened yet,

3 Legs - Axel Adler - Penn And Teller Fool Us

Birds Aren’t Real On Fox News

luxintenebris jokingly says...

Am neutral on this issue of robotic crows & such -but someone mentioned starlings.

Starlings are not natural.

1) The iridescent color is an illusion
2) They can and have spoken in English & other tongues
3) A pair raised a brood in a tree next to the house & rarely made noise

None of this is normal bird behavior.

1) am told their plumage (notably the ' iridescence') has no true pigment but the structure of their feathers. Could be that it's a cloaking device since we don't always see them around.

2) if they can speak in captivity, they must while in the flock, if only to keep their English (et al) sharp. it's proof that they hear and understand us. handy for data gathering.

3) Since the pair near us have raised littles & they only 'buzz' when ma or pa show up with Grub Hub - it suggests they are covert creatures. a trait common in spies. [also, mysteriously two of the house cats have gone missing just before they moved in.]

not saying ALL birds are bots - but if there is a place to start an investigation - Starlings are the best bet.

How do we know that they weren't behind this obvious attempt at propaganda. as if falling in love is akin to being in a murmuration...


Biden Smiden - investigate Starlings.

The Best Optical Illusion

Sen. Whitehouse Questions FBI on Kavanaugh Background

cloudballoon says...

But is this a surprise AT ALL? America has been treating politics and democracy as a joke a lifetime already. It has not (or could not) fought for real freedom & democracy t home or abroad not a long while, but instead market itself as the pinnacle of freedom & democracy, but it's far from the truth. It's ALL marketing.

An impartial court, separation of church and state, all illusions. But so be it. It's too far gone. Expand the SCOTUS to bring some balance, it's the only moral thing to do.

Best fireworks finale ever

I Asked AI To Make A Music Video - This Is The Result

newtboy says...

Lyrics-
Tuning out of star-light, the innocent lifetime flickers and flashes onto a canvas. But no, nobody seems worth it

And while the feeling's sophisticated, the view is so restrained. The past is nearing closer, and closer I fear.

So let's just cut the bullshit, and tell me who's independent. Thumbs twiddling' and your life's escaping your mind

Keep In mind, well the air ain't as free as it used to be but that's quite alright while you're still eighteen

It seems, to be, and i'll tell you who's over-rated. What's a beautiful person with some hideous dreams?

And while the lining isn't silver, we're verging on the side of the road, that'll take us home.

The edge of us is getting weighed, read about your life in your local papers.

Realize, the end of us is getting near, you're just a droplet of paint trickled off your canvas.

Delirious, illusions flowing backwards through the river of colour while we analyze to try to see it clearer. Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner. Now what's your vision?

Initiate your shading, blend the universe together in time it only gets a little easier. Suddenly you piece yourself back together. Now what's your vision?

And I don't wanna have to give a damn about you or your inhibitions.

After all, you're the one who taught me love was not for every body.

However, I'm starting to see this world in the right light, yet still gets darker.

You see, it's just a simple symphony, or a painting? Whatever

This unnatural path, it spans infinitely, but my world is crumbling.

Let it collapse into the abyss, in the midst of summer it won't exist.

This emptiness, it's just a blank slate, waiting for a painter to interfere.

It's quite complex, but what do I know?

Balance a coin on the side of a banknote

noims says...

It's not quite working for me. It stays on until there's just a degree or two left, so it's possibly an illusion of sorts. Well, that or my hands are too shaky.

Nice little trick though, and the old school aesthetic really hits my nostalgia buttons.

Mind Bending Physics Toy - Tensegrity Sculpture From LEGO

noims says...

On the back of this I decided to make my own with the lego I have at home. It's far far uglier than the one in the video, but it's got Ahsoka Tano using the force to hold it up instead of a cop, so it's objectively better.

It does have a tendency to fall over sideways, but that almost adds to the illusion.
