  • brilliant video

  • Very Infomative.. Good Vids.

  • Good Video!!

  • @htomerif & xQuciferx plz just send messages, lol your conversation takes up the whole page

  • gah! Bullshit. zoom in on the "gray" tiles at the end. when you can see nothing but the tiles themselves, they do change color to blue and yellow.

  • @htomerif You inspired me to double check. I used the wand tool on paint.net, highlighted the color blocks, and moved them over. The blue and yellow are honestly the same. All of them have an RGB value around (148,148,148), genuinely grey, and genuinely the same despite looking blue and yellow.

    You were wrong.

  • @xQuciferx Well, I double checked too, using gimp, and I checked the before and after. RGB

    Left side before: 146 150 146 Left side after: 147 149 155

    Right side before: 149 151 148 Right side after: 149 151 140

    My first statement was just kind of qualitative. This is quantitative. Theres a definite difference between them, and a definite deficit of blue in one and a definite excess in the other. I was all set to admit I was wrong, but I dont think so. uh.. so there.

  • @htomerif Guess again, the blocks aren't one solid color. They are slightly shaded. Meaning that you got different values because you just clicked on slightly different parts of the block. Try wanding the blocks with 25% tolerance(not high enough to pick up exess), and compare them side to side outside of the context of the rest of the image.

    Also, a second layer with Negation mode blending will make them all turn white when you add any two together.

    You have to look at all the pixels.

  • @xQuciferx I understand. Gimp has a radius average feature with its color dropper. I had it set to a 2 pixel radius around the cursor and took samples from the center of the blocks. I did my best not to cherry pick any data. Honestly I was expecting to find that you were right. There is a very real color change, though its possible its an artifact of compression. I'm not saying effects like this arent real. check out v=z9Sen1HTu5o for a similar one.

  • @htomerif I used Youtubes expand feature, and then used windows snippet tool to capture it and save to .PNG. If there is a color change in however you got the image, I think that may be isolated to how you did. I now triple checked the version I have and it they are identical in it.

    I may try again tonight with 720p, maybe 320 just didn't pick up the differences.

  • With the desert image i saw inversion of the color. I was seeing the green on the right and red on the left. Even if I covered one eye and did it the same thing happened. I have aspergers, I wonder if that is related?

  • @daiitokumyouou899 I saw the same inversion.

  • @daiitokumyouou899 I also saw green desert on the right and red desert on the left. As far as I know I don't have anything. Wonder what this might imply.

  • ooooo.... yawn, as if simple visual illusory tricks tell me my sense of right and wrong are not valid.. and then the same group tells us that were bigots. they train there mind not to see contradictions in there own thinking so its useless to argue..

  • he get tings messed up.

    he gets a lot mixed up.

  • I tried second time with the desert image, and I saw no difference wtf :D )) ?

  • The last illusion at 8:30 was amazing. Print-screened and colour-picked using Paint, they are perfectly GREY !!!

  • @yapanuwan

    It suffices to cover up a chunk of the surrounding colors with your fingers and focus on the grey color in the "window".

    It's amazing how, if you watch those grey fields isolated, they don't change at all, but when you look at them in context, they seem to change the color to grey and back right before your eyes.

    But not in a natural, gradual manner, but sort of artificial, confusing "world-swapping" way :)

    If you slowly widen the "finger window", you'll notice how your brain...

  • @yapanuwan

    ... quickly starts "imposing" the artificial color on the grey field, and it sort of arises from within.

    I managed to perceive the blue ones as grey in context for a short time, but after look again, they're still blue :D

    This illusion was the point where my jaw dropped.

  • LMAO; SILLY HUMANS CANT SEE IN UV

  • and this is how the Reptillians operate just beyond what we can physically see!!!

  • Somebody mentioned the left becoming red for them and the right becoming green. It switched to the opposite for me as well when going to the picture from the color squares also.

  • the green and red thing doesntt work on me O.O

  • damn it i was wrong the grey one looked much lighter oh well lol

  • hope im right lol im answering bfore the answer in the video i feel none are the same they r not the same color ok here we go lol

  • FFreeThinker my msn in profile! Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes! (1/2)

  • 6:21 the left is red for me lol?

  • I saw the predator I'm asome!!!!!!

  • TheBetterGame, he's showing you that without color you would see the 2 colors exactly the same. If our eyes couldn't see color you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the 2 colors. You would only see how the light reflects and the Greys to black absorbe the light.

  • caity1116, please read what I wrote to uu

  • uuto, everyone saw the left red and the right green because your left eye and hand are controlled by the right side of your brain and your right eye and hand are controlled my the left side of your brain. Seriously I thought everybody knew that.

  • I've also wondered why everyone can't learn to put onto a canvas or paper exactly what they see or do we all see everything differently. Why can some of us see shadows and light and depth and detail and how shadow and light change the colors and others can't. Why can I see the shaded parts of gold as orange and brown and white where the light hits? I just copy what I see. I really want to know why everyone can't.

  • I'm an artist, my paintings and drawings always come out looking like a photo. I add some creative ellements to my work so it can be known as a painting instead of a photograph. My ability is natural. I've had no formal training and my parents knew by the age of 4 that I had artistic ability. The more I did artwork the more exact it became. I have long wondered if everyone sees colors the same. There's no way we could ever know that.(con^^)

  • I still don't get that final part.

  • some of the examples are pretty shit

  • my eyes must be messed up, cause in the desert/red and green thing, when i looked down, the right side was green and the left side was red!! :O

  • @caity1116 lol same as me!

  • i taught there were 10 preditors ^_^ '

  • well done

  • buddy forgot to button up his shirt :P

  • somehow i saw the left desert in red and the right one in green :O

  • @uut0  same lol

  • @uut0 me too!!! r u short- sighted?? i am a little bit, dont need glasses though... could that be something to do with it??

  • @caity1116 well nope my eyes work perfectly now. but ive had a lazy left eye when i was younger :O

  • Energy sources without the need for fuel or energy input exist ,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the revolution!

  • He is telling us that we cant trust what we see, over and over again.. what is that called now..

    Only he and other clever men know, so we better listen to them, and reject our own opinion.

  • @blackpowderdk Pretty sure you're putting words into his mouth.

    When you are clever enough, you start to realise that your own opinion is just as suceptable to illusion, and that you need to find a mechanism better than your own immediate judgement, something that relies on evidence of ongoing efficacy..

  • @blackpowderdk hey, iponions are great and all, but you cant treat a desease based on opinion. you cant navigate a ship or a car based on opinion. some people have an opinion that the earth is flat (yes, even today). do we accept that opinion despite all the facts that all those clever men have presented?

  • He is telling us that we cant trust what we see, over and over again.. what is that called now..

  • PEople who dilike this dont understand it!

  • Anyone else see the sloppily sweaty man?

  • WHAT a load of non sense. THESE guys should get out more in the REAL world.

    These so called SCIENTIST are only CONfusing themselves. 

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL Take your own advise please. I'd take a Scientist over your dumb ignorant ass any day of the week, and I suspect many other would as well.

  • @Naminator236

    I'm surprised TURDS can evolve WOW, its a break through. What a ABJECT pointless comment ONLY INDOCTRINATED feacle specimen or SHIT could only know.

    ONLY a fool would think scientists are correct, the same fools think GMO will save the poor & increase PROFITS.

    A dog will ALWAYS resort back to nature, eating its OWN SHIT lolololololol.

    If you can not challenge SHUT UP.

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL AHhahahaha I think you are right about the whole dog part. And no matter how much people will try to educate an ignorant piece of shit like you, you will always fall back on ignorance, stupidity and some bullshit armchair critique like analysis of the world. And who the fuck are you kidding? The fucking computer that you are posting on was brought to you by scientists like these who venture in to the unknown and unpopular to discover, not by fucking idiots like you.

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL

    You should get out more and go to school, maybe then you wouldn't sound so utterly ignoorant.

  • @ThereIsCake

    You really should stop feasting on DARWINIAN VOMIT & the world is not FLAT. Primitive creature.

    Think b4 u type.

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL

    I'm sorry but as you can barely write legibly in your own language, how can I possibly expect you to have a logical argument?

    Please feel free to write more gibberish in capital letters.

  • The colors switched on that desert image.

  • Those who lifted up there arm for the gray one are fucking liars. I know about the optical illusion but come on. They are fucking lying.

  • Uh the desert thing worked on me but I saw the left desert image under red light influance and the right desert image under green light influance. Did anyone else experienced it too?

  • The whole desert thing didn't work for me, nothing happened

  • But this is exactly what is going on on reporeter's field. They show people the reality that they invented for them and people follow them. There is a picture in which one can see a perosn attack another person, But a wide look would show that this is only a part of the picture. The full picture shows that the attacker is the attacked and the attacke dis the attacker. This is what happen in Israel, actuallly . Someone feels really comfortable to represent Israel as the attackers, while in

  • @Tehila891 many times they are the attacked. And people choose to believe them and follow them blindely. This is so much like reality.

  • wayyyyy to much time to think about nothing!......

  • with that desert thing i looked at the dot n it was reverse

  • @TheDrugtopia

    oh that happened to me too

  • finally i found the full version at

  • Sorry, a re post. I believe he is wrong on this one. Because, the one on the left shows up as red, and the one on the right is green. Image burn-in causes you to see the negative of what you were staring at. The negative of red is green, and the negative of green is red. So that's why you see it opposite. I agree with everything else, but i beleive with this he is either being manipulative or is just wrong. Please reply and lmk what you think, and whether you think im right or wrong.

  • hmm, I'm having trouble with the red-green one. I beleive the occurence is for a different reason. In my opinion it is due to image burn-in. Eg, when you look at something bright and it continues to show up in you vision even when you are looking away or have your eyes closed.

  • here's an example of how the universe works according to REAL science. 8 hours of physics that's called Unified Field theory.....This is not speculation! Its vail if falling on the world. IGNORANCE IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE.

  • Umm after staring at the colors, the left desert scene was red and the right one was green.

  • @sammyrulz12 It was reversed for me also.

  • And that's why vision is not the only sensory data we receive. This whole discussion is meaningless.

  • @ReasonSharp so you're saying that ancient humans could have survived without vision? And that our having eyes in order to detect light is completely meaningless? Try reading this without using your eyes.

  • @sccc504 Amazing! It's absolutely amazing how I can write a simple sentence and be completely misunderstood! Of course, you'd need to process a little more than sensory input to figure out what I'm talking about. But seeing how you can't spot a glaring contradiction between your own comment and the video, I doubt I can help you much. People who can't trust their senses aren't my specialty.

  • I watch it for the second time and I still couldn't guess the color.

  • I really love your channel. Thank you.

  • haha you got me on the dessert

  • can sum1 explain what i was supposed to see after looking at the first dot between the red and green and then looking at the second dot, i tried it like 3 times already and nothing changes for me when i look at the desert scenes dot again :-(

  • @satbir129 The two images are supposed to look different colors now after you've been staring at the colors.

  • @pikasuicide ah, thank you :-], for some reason i can't see it, the magics not workin on me :-(

  • @satbir129

    That's odd. It should work for everyone. I used to draw pictures in reverse colours using this method when I was young.

    Perhaps you're not staring at the dot long enough?or you're subconsiously moving your eyes around...

    If done properly the colours will start to look wierd.

    Then when you stare at the second dot, you will see two differently coloured deserts in your peripheral vision.

  • Too many baseless assertions for my taste

  • Excellent video!

  • nice one :)

  • I wish the fashion police had something intelligent to say... but it's all meaningless even if you put it to use.

  • "I" am lost and I am loving it!

    Free at last, thank science I am free at last!!!

  • @TheJaredtube there maybe exists another person who perceives the opposite of what you perceive and maybe that person is correct too. maybe you are not free, maybe science is wrong, maybe you are lost, maybe i am wrong, maybe you are right, maybe science is true, and religion too, maybe there is no I and there is no you, maybe it's we, maybe it's us, whatever it is, or is not, let us make level in the desert a path, not high and not low, but high and low

  • Comment removed

  • Why bother wearing a shirt at all? He's four buttons away from stripped topless.

    Still, a fascinating talk.

  • With his shirt he is like a mind-fucking Tony Monatana

  • well,fuck

  • His first game was easy lol

  • I think this guy is making a mistake by mentioning that these optical illusions are based on learned behavior, one thing is perception, another is behavior, is not the same

  • anything

  • optical illusions on ted, we can do better than this guy!

  • Very Interesting and a Excellent Choice Of Dictoinary, However Interesting it may be the information given is useless.

  • The red green experiment didn't work on me. The two desert images looked the same to me. I think people just see red and green on the desert scene, because they knew in advance that's what they're supposed to see.

  • @InfiniteUniverse88 Actually I did expect to see the green on the left side and the red on the right side, but when I looked at the desert scene, it was instead reversed. Red on the left, green on the right. So no, it wasn't because I knew in advance I was supposed to see something, because I saw the opposite of what I thought I was supposed to see. Good thought though.

  • @ItsSpritie I've always thought the desert image thing was a physical affect of cones needing a few seconds to fulling regenerate there sensitivity to the "that" color you were staring at and not the brain adjusting your perception. So when you look away your cones react quicker to other colors. This gives a sense of seeing color in a negative form. Am I crazy?

  • Though expectative plays a mayor role on almost all our perception, that specific "illusion" is more a sensation thing than a perception thing. The effect is caused by the adaptation of the cones in your retina. It's similar to the illusion of seeing jesus after seen formless shadows on a white background, when you turn your sight to a white wall you see jesus for a while, its funny

  • @InfiniteUniverse88 You should see the inverse of whatever the actual colour is. It works in many different ways 2. Say I have 2 of the exact same images except 1 is black n white and the other is colour but inverted. If you stare at the inverted image for long enough then look at the black n white image it will appear in full colour for a few seconds. The brain is a funny place

  • I would love to know what IBM advert means when it states 'let's build a smarter planet' ? smarter according to who ? who wants to build a smarter planet ? who gets to decide whats a smart planet or not ? does it mean that a multinational private corporation want's to build a smarter planet ? sounds like typical IBM social engineering nonesense to me ! interesting video though.

  • @leonski35 who decides i hope it aint you cause you went off on an idiotic rant calm down dude.

  • ps..I see the preditor instantly, I have a deep black cat, that loves to sit on a dark blue carpet...so before walking over this carpet, (in order not to step on him) I have to locate if there are not these two green lights or shiny black nose, my cat loves this game of attention!

  • the desert color illusion at 5:40, am i the only one seeing the right side turn green and the left side staying the same???

  • @jugarnaut40 nope ... :D

  • @jugarnaut40 The colours actually swapped for me so that the left side became red and the right side became green?

  • @RewdAwakening but the left side stayed the same...? only the right side turned green. lol, maybe i have a few loose wires rattling around up there...

  • @RewdAwakening: Thank God you said that. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes. :)

  • Oh I've seen this before..being an artist I figured it out :P

  • @nelliediddle I would like to point out I am not in any way shape or forma "complete realist"... I've just done colour theory

  • Freaky!

  • Good stuff.

  • lol "pretty even split", like 80% thought it was the grey one

  • @Mendelevium146

    When you are given a bunch of vibrant colors with grey included... its like a multiple choice option for "all of the above" given when no other question in the test has had that option. Its a strong suggestion that someone is trying to trick you.

  • @filorps yea but its still funny how he pretends its even to make it more spectacular

  • :P it's pink on the white one / purple on the black

  • I didn't think it was either but I did lean towards grey. Being the middle of the two colors used as the backgrounds, I guess that made it easier.

  • Where's part 2?

  • @exacerbatedtaboo

    Nevermind...Just answered my own question.

  • So is it odd that when he did the colors and the desert landscape, the sides the colors were on actually switched after looking down?

  • well that was definatly worth watching in video formate.

  • Josef Albers did all the research back in the mid-20th century........... consider his publication "Interaction of Color"

  • "There is no inherent meaning in information" Not Correct There is no inherent meaning in DATA, when you organize it and give it meaning it becomes INFORMATION. There is a difference.

  • @Sacredor Your interpretation is certainly the correct literal definition but information theory doesn't draw that distinction, it reduces everything to a mathematical definition of information which has no inherent meaning.

  • @Sacredor I think you are confusing "inherent meaning" with simply "meaning"

    What he is saying is that there is no OBJECTIVE meaning in the information. The only way it has any meaning is if we assign a sort of "key" to analyze it with. To translate it with. But objectively, any particular image can have multiple meanings, thus there is no INHERENT meaning in it. It depends on how you translate it.

  • @Sacredor

    He was talking about the meaning of colors, he said correctly that colors, the particles that hit our eyes, they have no inherent meaning, but the way our brains interprets them creates meaning. And depending if your illusion of how the world looks gets close enough to the actual reality, you will more likely survive and procreate.

  • @wOoL87 It's not a case of the person who see's the closest to reality surviving; but the person whose reality best suits survival. Also light isn't a particle it's a photon.

  • @fatkat444

    or a wave my brother

  • @maddawgqeiwfje well light has both particle and wave properties which are always present brother maddawg, and the photon i believe, being the basic unit of light, encompasses both these properties.

    peace nigga

  • Amazing

  • Amazing

  • I hope part two says how this stuff is useful.

  • @ahb9days it demonstrates a natural reaction of our brain to compensate unusual light conditions.

    Take a look at the eft picture @ 8:31. In reality, to recive such a picture you'd need to see the cube behind a color-filter. The left side filters all the blue color this is why the white appears yellow. But the places who are completely blue have no color anymore. So all our eyes can read is the brightness of that area - which results in a grey shape.

    our brain compensates the filter anyways.

  • wow cameraman fail.

  • You learn about this kind of stuff in psychology within "perception" units.

    We did the same kind of things he's getting them to do in our lectures.

  • Anyone that says they can't see the blue being grey and the yellow being grey!!!!!!

    take a print screen of yout computer, past it into ms paint. then select the eyedrop tool and make a rectangle after selecting the blue and selecting the yellow

    the rectangle will be as grey as grey can ever be.

  • You're a great speaker, but please, button your fucking shirt.

  • @Gorillathehun He's actually completely buttoned-up, his hairless chest is just an illusion.

  • @Gorillathehun So he can look like a fucking dork? it suits him

  • wheres the second part

  • i figured this all out back in middle school.

  • Professor waxchest?

  • I saw the desert scene turn the opposite colour to the one above

  • simply shocking observations with light

  • Fascinating.

  • Great video! Would be appreciated if you gave it a higher framrate, because it appears to be a bit 'laggy' (if such things are within your power that is).

  • @thepoet82 not laggy on my end at all... i do notice some videos on utube are laggy, but not this one for me.

    i wonder what determines it?

  • @ooosteve Maybe laggy was a bad word. Perhaps 'choppy' would be better. It's easiest to see when the camera pans. It's not a smooth movement.

  • Ummm......Did anyone else see the left desert picture as red and the right desert picture as green after looking at the dot between the (left) green side and (right) red side. He said it's supposed to trick your eyes into thinking you are still seeing red on your right and green to your left. But I saw the opposite. lol

  • @Akhotnik Is it not because your brain is compensating?

  • @Akhotnik yes, I saw the opposite as well

  • @Akhotnik My eyes didn't do anything, I still saw the exact same identical desert pictures, but all the other things he did tricked my eyes :\

  • It might work better if you turn the brightness up on your monitor and click the full screen button. That said I disagree with his explanation of this particular illusion. If you instead just close your eyes after looking at the top dot rather than look at the bottom dot and concentrate on the after-image created. It's contrasting colors to the original and it's purpose and advantage is to decrease dynamic range of visual input to help see details in dark areas better.

  • I picked the gray one.

  • woah thats a low done up shirt doesn't leave much to the imagination haha

  • The colors in the desert illusion were switched for me. That was pretty wicked, though!

  • Cool, some of it is basic color theory. But always cool

  • Witch hes a witch ! Burn him

  • @FenriX123

    we will have to figure out if he floats first!

  • I saw Jesus in the red square and he talked to me.

  • I totally didn't believe that last one so took a screen shot and took a little sample of each...

    Both the same gray. Science IS cool!!!

  • This is so cool.

  • I couldn't see the desert illusion.

  • Wow...incredibe, and this on you tube. If I where watching TV right now, all other programs would not have a chance against this, in fact I will watch this again. 55555 no longer takes, so I have to say, thumbs up....I just had a thought, maybe it is possible to hit that thumb 5 times?
