Size Matters

Watch what happens with these circles. The size of your visual cortex in your brain determines whether an optical illusion "works" on you or not. The smaller the visual cortex you have, the more you will be "fooled" by the illusion!

lets face it

what would happen if brusspup and greenpro teamed up to make an optical illusion?

@zeratul575

Thumbs up if you want to see that happen. We live in different parts of the country but I'm sure we could pull it off.

it`s because of the perspective paint down and on the back....your brain it`s used with the perspective,so

the back sphere seems to be larger beeing the same size,...normally should be paint smaller...

@Nicro327 So in the painting he moves them closer together and your mind/brain is confused because it thought if you moved them together one would eventually become smaller because of the way they are placed in the painting. To prove that I am right, back far away from someone then lift your hand up in a pinching shape and try to "pinch" the person's head that is far away. Adjust your position/distance from them so their head fits into your fingers. Google "crushing obama head" to understand...

The object that is closest to us is bigger perspective wise just because it simple closer. The farther object is bigger physically because if they were physically the same size the farther away object would be tiny. In real life you could move the objects closer together to see the real size. In a painting you cannot do this they remain the same size. Your eye, being used to actual reality, thinks if you move them closer together one will be smaller than the other.

Its hard to explain but I figured it out the second the video started. It has to do with perception. I don't feel like typing the rest out on my phone for now though...

@Killerificc1 Its not the same,If you look clousely at the back one at the lower right side to the middle its bigger. its all darker part of the cirlcle. the back one is bigger by a bit.

[Killerificc1]

@NeKoShinn666 its not, the cutting out just wasnt perfect. :D if it was COMPLETELY perfect, they would be the same.

[shadowkgnigt]

well this trick is done by the ground. as you can when he pull a pieces he goes a litlle bit up so how it's done the ground is not straight

[NeKoShinn666]

not really. the one in the back is a litttle bigger.
