Wilhelm von Bezold, a German meteorologist, discovered this effect that shows the same red color appearing either lighter or darker depending on the color adjacent to it. The red on the left looks lighter with the white, but on the right, looks darker when surrounded by black. It?s actually the same red.

A blivet, also known as a poiuyt, is an impossible object that appears to have three prongs, but transforms into just two prongs at the fixed end.

Dr. Richard Gregory first observed this illusion in the tiles on the wall of a Bristol cafe (hence the name). The alternating light and dark bricks are staggered and the gray ?mortar? lines that separate the layers. But while the lines may look as if they curve, they are actually straight across and parallel.

The Jastrow Illusion was discovered in 1889 by psychologist Joseph Jastrow and shows two objects next to one another where the top object appears to be smaller, but in reality, they are both the same size

If you stare long enough at one of the dots, the other two will vanish from your eyesight. But if you look at that disappearing dot, it will magically reappear, while the others now begin to disappear.

Do you see stair bannisters/columns, or do you see the people?

Can you read the word that creates the drawing?

We?re thinking you can spot the two elderly people staring at one another, but can you spot the mariachi player, his friend, and the person in the back?

These are so old!

I still like them
