The fascinating Ames Window.

The Veritasium video on this is also vey fascinating

He’s got some good videos.

To see the full rotation the Ames window, you must focus on the front and back of the pen simultaneously .

Holding your breath while sneezing works, too.

I’m way too high for this and I didn’t even smoke

our brains are soo weird but also cool!

Trip for sure.

If I can see it going in a full circle without the pen does it mean my brain is extra powerful or extra stupid?

My fav movie… ever. 🌗

Just been kidding, hehe. 😉 Like in: who wrote Shakespeare's Mcbeth?

Mesmerizing.

It is!

@grok how is this used in today’s marketing or what other uses does this have, respond like you’re Clint Eastwood

I just had an anxiety attack!

How much of that effect is a filming artifact? What does it look like in real life?

Woke nonsense.

That music...

The Curiosity Show - taught kids in Australia to think and wonder. Good time to grow up.

Notice the camera has to be at a certain angle for it to work
