The Same Color Illusion
Are square A and B the same color? They are. Are too. To verify this, click here to see them connected. The above illusion, called the same color illusion, illustrates that purely human observations in science may be ambiguous or inaccurate. Even such a seemingly direct perception as relative color. Similar illusions exist on the sky, such as the size of the Moon near the horizon, or the apparent shapes of astronomical objects. The advent of automated, reproducible, measuring devices such as CCDs have made science in general and astronomy in particular less prone to, but not free of, human-biased illusions.

I totally remember this. I remember cutting it up in Photoshop and placing the squares next to each other.

About

Most of the time, my Tumblr is just a collection of favorite conversations, quotes, pictures, snippets of emotions and thoughts, and intriguing posts I find online.

Sometimes, I do more than reblog and write original entries shorter than those on my personal blog or tech blog but over 140 characters long. I might occasionally talk about my experiences running My Mom is a Fob and My Dad is a Fob...otherwise it's all stuff like #interiors, #architecture, #design & more.

Me? I'm a 21-year-old web & graphic designer, artist and photographer who studied architecture at UC Berkeley. I graduated a year early (bad idea), and now I can't find a "real" job.

Got any questions for me? Feel free to ask via Tumblr or Formspring!
