1. This reminds me so much of the optical illusions drawn by M.C. Escher, except these illusions are actually three-dimensional. Amazing.

2. I’d like to see the one with the water flowing up through the aqueducts where it falls upon the mill wheel, to the beginning of the aqueducts again.

3. Reblogged this on The Logical Place.

4. Beautifully conceived, executed, and recorded.

   Illusions like these and many others show that everything we see is in some sense illusory. Our illusions just happen to be more-or-less accurate representations of 3D spatial reality in day-to-day life with high probability.

   How the brain manages to do this is IMO the most important unsolved problem in neuroscience.

5. This will help when I eventually get around to doing some remodeling around here. Some of these tricks would make my rooms especially entertaining.

6. Couldn’t find it online again… but had it in the archives (about a 7meg download):

7. Autocorrect. Ibrhinkbthebuphine is guilty this time. I just got in a big fight with my Mac when it kept insisting on a certain spelling that was wrong.

8. Hey, that’s epic, d00d!
