WOWOW: Optical Illusions, Math and the Singularity
edited by Alexander Becker
The power of optical illusions, magnetic fields, the singularity, maths, and food portion sizes.
Key to all optical illusions discovered --
Humans can see into the future, says a cognitive scientist. It's nothing like the alleged predictive powers of Nostradamus, but we do get a glimpse of events one-tenth of a second before they occur. And the mechanism behind that can also explain why we are tricked by optical illusions.
NASA scientists make magnetic fields visible, beautiful --
Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But Scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as "animated photographs," using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing. It makes the fields, as explained by the scientists, dance in an absolutely gorgeous movie called Magnetic Movie.
Take a look at the above, have a nice week and play it where it lies.
