TOP 5 OPTICAL ILLUSIONS (Part 1)

in #science7 years ago

Here's a list of the top 5 best optical illusions right now! I'm thinking of making this a weekly series.

Let's start with a classic, shall we?

I'm pretty sure all of you know how this works, but in case you don't:
The squares look like they aren't lined up, but they are lined up perfectly.

Here's a more interesting illusion:

Can you see all the dots at once?
No, you're not stupid, no one can. For some odd reason, our brain doesn't have the power to see all the 12 dots at the same time.

This one will f*ck you up:

Who's hugging who?
Before you read what's really going on, try to figure it out yourself, I'll be waiting for you!

So, the black guy is wearing shorts with two colors. The position of the girl is making the white part look like she's wearing it. That's the only thing we get confused about. Everything else is normal: the guy is wearing a white t-shirt, the girl is hugging him there... (You can even see the girl's dress on the left side of the picture.)

This one actually went viral earlier this year:

Can you find the phone on the floor?
Same like last time, I'll let you try to find it for a bit. Go ahead, I'm waiting!

Have you found it? It's actually right next to the table, to the right. The phone has a case that looks like the carpet. This doesn't really count as an optical illusion, but hey, it's pretty cool, right?

Last one today!

Is the cat going up or down the stairs?
Again, I'll let you figure it out.

The answer: it's going down the stairs.
Yeah, this is a pretty smart photo. It did make you look twice, didn't it?
