if you are actually seeing it, it will tilt as you tilt your head. For me when I looked through the polarizer I saw blue the brightest and yellow was faint. But on the screen yellow was the brightest. This may be different for different people though.
cool
For me, I see the yellow brightest and blue after I see yellow
Humm. 🤔👍
I see it as light yellow
Yep
Me, on my phone: I'm sure that was cool.
I could see it on my phone
Barely
You could orient your phone to make it work. If you have polarized sunglasses, put them on and rotate your phone until it dims or turns purple. That's the angle you should try to see this "brush" at
I am on phone I see it it doesn't change lol
@@EfrenMunoz313 most phones do not use the polarized light anymore.
They use oled's that are directly viewable.

That might explain why I can see it on my older phone.

With the particular presentation in this video it's also possible that you're going to see a persistence aftereffect from having stared at the yellow and blue nodes.
This indeed seems to be the case -- after he quit showing the pattern, I saw it rotated 90 ` for several seconds before it eventually faded away.
Real Haidinger's brush has an unbroken yellow part, and broken blue. When you tilt your head, its orientation won't follow your eyes. A negative afterimage of a picture of Haidinger's brush has an unbroken blue part, and broken yellow. When you tilt your head, its orientation will follow your eyes.
@@magentamonster . . . And that's what I got.
I thought so too, but as I rotate my head one way the 'brush' rotates the reverse.
I got the afterimage from staring at a fullscreen Notepad and then tipping my head -- didn't notice much while my head was upright, but a strong yellow when tipped. I presume that means I'm seeing, but not easily perceiving, a blue while my head is level?

I see it it's a yellow line going in-between two light blue dots like a plus sign
The last time I was at an eye doctor's, I was able to tell the screen they were using was polarized because I've discovered that one of my eyes starts hurting when staring at polarized light in a dark room and everything starts to look weird with that eye.
I hope you told your doctor about that
I can also identify a specific artificial light; for me it's infrared light. I get really bad headaches if I'm around it for long enough, like Microsoft Hololens or TrackIR
I have been noticing something yellow in my field of view for about a year now only with my iPad on white background when reading. It was quite annoying, I though it was old age and my eyes were going. But so cool to know what it is now. Thanks!

@@LeventK what are you talking about
I've seen this around lights constantly since I was young. Around 12 years old I told my mom about it because I thought there might be something wrong with my eyes and she (being a spiritual lady) told me I see auraa. It's neat to have a scientific explanation for what I'm seeing, because I've never shared her spiritual explanation.
Are you sure what you're seeing isn't due to astigmatism?
Quick notice for people trying this on phone or tablet.
Protective glass strongly depolarizes the light coming from LCD, so it won't work with glass screen protector.
Thank you.
It’s important to note this might not work in OLED screens, as those don’t need to use polarisers. Furthermore, screen protectors usually scramble the polarisation due to them using a thin plastic film (if you look at a screen protector through a polariser you can see random multicolor interference patterns).

As a child, I always stopped and stared at the puddle in the parking lot. The oil on the top made a polarizing effect. I tried to explain it to my parents, but they couldn't see it.

I love this channel so much b/c it reminds me of the early days of science communicator youtube. Every video is creative and discusses science topics I've never heard of before. These days, there are countless channels that just rehash what others have talked about already. Awesome work!
WOW that's subtle! The moment I took off my normal nearsighted glasses I could see it, because the yellow part switched from being vertical to horizontal. I'm confused how that could happen given the explanation, but it was really cool to see!
Optical Engineer here, a lot of the light "information" here is not right. For example, metals do reflect and polarize light. There is a whole field of measurements "metrology" dedicated to thin films and metal polarization detection also known as ellipsometry. Linear polarizers dont work on circular or elliptically polarized light, instead, you need a retarder (compensator), quarter wave plate + a linear polarizer to resolve the polarization of light coming from a metal.
I’ve got the retardation and compensation covered.
Engineer here too. Happens all the time when you get a great education 😪... The "news" is The Worst
I'm no engineer, but I appreciate your comment a lot. The video shocked me a little when the metal film didn't get blocked by the linear polarizer. I thought to myself, "does this mean that metal doesn't polarize light when it reflects? There seems to be a contradiction somewhere."
Then you came into the comments and helped clarify it. Thanks.
Thank you for taking your time to explain it.

I actually noticed this when looking at computer screens more that a decade ago. I searched for “blue and yellow blob in vision” and got my answer. It’s always fascinated me that some (or most) of us can faintly detect not only polarized light, but the direction of polarization. Really cool. A 6th sense.

@@dimp.3102 yep and High quality 8K Display has better color quality, like OLED 8K Display or something
It's neither the color nor the pixel depth, it's the polarization effect and your ability to discern it. In fact the pixel depth is super irrelevant to this one. One giant pixel would do the job just fine. And as for colors, I would *imagine* that the exact same effect is there no matter what, but the color of the light would wash out the effect to the degree that that color interacts with yellow and blue, so if the light was bluish, the blue region would disappear and the yellow region would take a greenish cast...but everything after the word 'imagine' is just speculation.
If you orient your sunglasses correctly,
*Rotates head*. .
Driving 10/10
The sun is usually above our heads, so all the polarized sunglasses just block glares from right above sources best and do a decent job when the source is slightly to the side.
If the sun is below your head you might better be slightly concerned about your car being upside down.
5:17 The normal orientation, it's invisible, but I imagine the starting point is that the yellow line is vertical.
If I tilt my head left, the yellow line tilts right, and if I tilt my head right, the yellow line tilts left.
It's possible that it's invisible to me when level because I'm used to looking at this screen with a level head, so my brain just filters it out.
I'm gonna second the brain filter theory
I can see it while tilting my head, but only while my head is moving
Once I stop, it fades away
Oooh thanks! You actually helped me see it consistently. I was beginning to wonder if I was just seeing things because I would see it faintly for only a split second at a time.
I can see it!
Had to turn my head down 90 deg to see it better, but its there, about 1/2 the size of the one you started with.
This is perfect timing! My wife and I were talking about polarized sunglasses and our kids asked what polarization is. This video explains it better than I did so now I can show them this!

@@makhtydh, The macula is a part of the eye, and an eye floatie/floater is a little spot you can sometimes faintly see in your vision.
Wow! I couldn't see it at first, and then I got the test image to look more bright, so I tried again with the actual white image and I saw two yellow dots flip sort of diagonally! Cool stuff.
Actually had a really easy time with this one :)
Blue was horizontal, yellow was vertical, and the would each fade in an out, peaking as my head was perpendicular to the orbital
Opposite for me. Blue was vertical
Me: "I can see it, but the blue is horizontal." Video: "Which direction it is depends on how you're tilting your head." me, laying on my side: "Well there you go then."
You see blue?
That’s the polarization of it
@@lionessfit3041 I also saw blue
That happened to me too
I see both of them. Doesn't change when I turn my phone or tilt my head.
Yellow: Horizontal
Blue: Vertical
I remember an Inuit guide describing a similar vision that he used to navigate in the snow. I was so crazy how these guys could get around in wast expanses of white with no landmarks before GPS and compasses were very bad in the Arctic.
You mean, like, being able to see magnetic fields?
😲
@@AGKyran They see the polarized light in the snow and can tel where the sun is on a cloudy day. There are special goggles you can make that will do this too.
Vikings used a sunstone.
That's awesome
Ooooohhhhhh!!!!! That explains something I've always experienced! In some lights I've seen yellow or blue auras...
Pretty neat stuff. I use cross polarization all the time on VFX projects where we need to control which lights are producing specular highlights on objects that are going to be comped in with 3D animated elements. Each light source will have a polarizer that is aligned specifically for that group and the the camera lenses will have a circular polarizer that can be adjusted depending on the lighting group that is needed.
All I could see was how dirty my screen was when I watched this on my TV.

Nice frodo quote 👌

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Amazing!!!
I always thought that was something on monitors, I never thought that's something about vision.
I thought the yellow part was the light source of the screen and the blue part the areas where were not well lightened.
I was looking to the phone and tilted a little, this gradient pattern doesn't fit the screen, because it was bigger, but it changes direction, going to the opposite direction from where I started to tilt.
Love this experiment!!!
While I didn't see the Brush, I did get the thought to turn my polarized sunglasses and WOW when it dimmed that white background (at around 45 degree tilt) I saw all the spots on my monitor!
Thanks for this new tech.
Family caught me staring at a white screen with my sunglasses on. Thanks Action Lab!
Congrats

I thought I was special till he took the image away.
i used to see this thing all the time back when i used to be really concerned with my visual disturbances, i thought that was just another one of them!!! i saw it every time i rotated my phone. this is super cool!!
I noticed is I could see it better focusing slightly "behind" the screen instead of focusing right on the surface of the screen. Also, I have 2 monitors and the angle of yellow/blue cross was different on my older IPS monitor (blue band horizontal) vs newer VA monitor (blue band more vertical), absolutely nutty!

Great, another thing that I can't un-see. Someone showed me how to see all the "floaters" one day, now they're with me for life.
For me floaters are kind of like the game. You only lose if you think about it. By the way, you just lost the game
Wait you can purposely see floaters? How???
@@doesntmatter2732 Try looking at a big fluorescent black light bulb (regular, not blue-black) for a minute. You can also see them against the blue of the sky, maybe not quite as well.
@@doesntmatter2732 I guess I should elaborate a bit, we were all tripping one night. A few of my friends were over by the black light, "Can you see them yet?" "Whoa!." I had never heard of floaters, but after looking at the light for a minute or two, I suddenly saw them as well. The sun was coming up, when I went outside and looked against the blue of the sky, I saw a whole bunch of floaters, from that day forward, unfortunately.
Once you see them, you can't unsee them. Are you absolutely sure that you want to see them? They have always been with you, but you block, them out, like background noise. But after you notice that spot on the wall, you're might see it the rest of your life. Are you _sure_ that's what you want???
I rarely see floaters, but it's nice when I do. Wouldn't wish for anyone to see them all the time though.
But after taking a lot of drugs during about 4 years, I now have phosphenes all the time.
I mostly see them at night, it's very easier to see them in dark places.
And it's cool. If you start focus at them, they may start to change and make shapes.
The more I focus on them, the more they get detailed.
It's a fun thing.
Also staring for a moment dehydrates your eyes.
You can play with it by fixing the ground. It works better on clear repetitive patterns.
When you do, it then starts to move.
I've done that again recently (don't do it too often!), and it looked like ripples.
It's quite awesome.
Also, learned the trick where you stay in the dark, and turn on a light above your head on the side of your head.
Makes you able to see the blood vessels in your eyes, like a web (it will be in a dark gray most likely).
I have one eye through which I see clearly, after having 7 ops on the other one for retinal detatchment which see but doesn't focus. So, I can see tons of yellow but not the blue, and that's with no sunglasses. Thanks for sharing this, I saved it to favourites!
That's really cool. I never would have known that was something other than light play. Mine was 20% the size of the image you showed but visible.
I can see it perfectly without the polarizer.

oh my god i’ve been seeing this for YEARS and never had any idea what it was!!!! i’m diagnosed with HPPD and have extremely bad visual snow so because of that i always second guessed myself thinking it was whenever i was on a bright white screen it was causing like a tiny part of my visual snow to become way more noticeable (despite knowing from experience that my visual snow improves greatly with strong light and only gets bad and intense in low light) but it was unmistakably different and i’m so glad i finally have an answer!! it’s extremely noticeable on my monitor but i see it sometimes on my ipad too (never on phone) for anyone having trouble seeing it, keep in mind that for me at least the simulation he shows of it is a bit misleading in terms of its visual clarity and shapes, for me on my pc monitor when my head was in the normal vertical position i was seeing the blue as quite large messy circular shapes like an infinity sign, but when i tilted my head sideways to see the yellow it was a much thinner profile in comparison as it wasn’t as messy (still very vibrant though)
thank you for finally giving me the answers to this extremely mild “inconvenience” that i thought was me just being crazy lol
This was such a cool video and science experiment. I could see it very faintly if I rotated my head towards my left. I loved this video so much I liked it twice!
I’ve always been able to see this. This has actually been a problem though. LED headlights really mess with my eyes.
I used to see that RIDICULOUSLY often on the back glass of cars after I tried my dad's sunglasses for about a week I could see it for MONTHS at a time, about 4 months, before the effect seemed to taper off.

That's amazing!! Thanks!
This man had me pausing and squinting at my screen so hard!🤣🤣🤣👌🏾
Y'know, this would be *really* interesting if he actually explained what polarized light is! :D
Light in nature are made of oscillating pairs of magnetic and electric fields. Normal light is
like tons of those pairs of waves he showed, but all mooshed and close together and tilted
at random angles from each other. Imagine lots of fish randomly swimming serpentine in
one direction, but some are upside down, sideways, etc.
The polarizers he had are like microscopic window blinds. When the sun shines through your
blinds, some light is blocked and you get parallel lines of light on the wall or whatever. Polarizers
block all the light waves that aren't parallel to the little blinds on the sheet. So, if some light
is LINEARLY polarized, then those polarizers will let it through if its wave can slide through
the polarizer slits. The light gets dimmer if it's not lined up perfectly, and gets blocked when
the wave is perpendicular.
I was waiting the whole time for him to explain it or point us somewhere we can learn about it lol
@@willbe3043 It just takes a second to search it on UA-cam tbh

Yes. Or you could do your own research further into it.
Not that hard and Google is free.
What he meant by "Not Everyone Can See" he meant people with their blue light filters enabled.
Is it odd that I saw both with and without the blue light filter enabled (LG v50 Thinq)?
I have my blue light filter on and I saw it
You guys might have it at a lower level.
I turned off my blue light filter for this video and saw nothing. I even checked with my polrised sunglasses that my screen is definitely polarised, but I can still not see it
Nah he meant that some people are physically incapable of seeing polarized light.
I wear glasses, and could not see it at first, but after re-watching I heard you said it can depend on the angle of your head, I rotated my head and I could see it so clearly!
I'm assuming my glasses must mess with the polarisation in some way...
I was actually able to see it on both computer screen and newer phone, it actually showed up better on my phone than on computer screen.
Me: trying to see it

Im not trying to dead😂
What I saw was something way cooler. I had some polarized sunglasses here and I tried to see the effect, but when I put it and I looked at my phone screen I saw a very cool rainbow pattern with two radial poles and that move depending of the direction and orientation of the screen. I recommend trying if you have any polarized sunglasses. It was very accidental btw.
Nah your just high 😂
POV: you can both see the blue and yellow at the same brightness regardless of orientation
*I am several universes ahead of you*
We are the almighty powerful with our eyes
I am only one universe ahead of everyone. I can do this, but only for blue
I can see both and see which color is overlapping even if the image is blurry
I can see it, its smaller than I expected. I could only see the horizontal yellow.
Once I could see yellow, I tilted my phone very slightly left and right, then the blue showed up just barely.
Same here. When I tilt my head left and right the yellow bar rotates a few degrees as well. Very interesting. Now I am going to be seeing that all day as I work at my computer.

Video Idea: Do the opposite where you show how to find your blind spot by closing one eye, extending your arm, stick out your thumb, and move it away from the center of your vision until when you wiggle your thumb, you don't see it.

I just started messing with a polarizing filter on my camera and this made me realize why the filter can still be turned after being screwed in. Don’t know why I didn’t realize it sooner. Thank you.
Me first seeing the polarizer in action: Wow, imagine if there was like something you can wear that would just block all the glares on screens
Me like a few seconds later when he gets to the phone: Crap I just accidentally reinvented sunglasses
It worked on my desktop screen just by opening a blank file. wow!!!
But: I had to turn the brightness all the way up to 100 (I usually have it near zero to stop headaches), I had to take off the "nightlight" blue blocking option, and I had to tilt my head VERY slowly. It's more of a "ghost image" type thing, like an afterimage from looking at a bright like....or one of those Magic Eye pictures...but also not quite that. The yellow was mostly horizontal and the blue vertical but it did move a bit along with my head.
Science is so fascinating omfg ❤
*bright light ugh typo
Very interesting. I'll look at this tomorrow on a computer screen, but playing this on my phone when you display the image of what it should look like, I see only the yellow until I focus slightly away from centre. Then the blue appears. I can then refocus and see the blue, until I look away and back again.
It's amazing how much and how little you can see with your own senses.
It's a little fainted but still visible.
If you tilt your computer screen (or your head) left or right you can see the blue getting bluer and the yellow getting yellower. pretty cool.
Very cool! I’ve probably got some disease, as I saw the yellow bulbs only, they were above center, very small, and they rotated the opposite direction of how I would tilt my head 😂
I was waiting for the bir reveal and it was just the yellow blue cross I saw all along. So apparently I can see polarized light and didn't know it. Cool! :)
So was there anyone who DIDN'T see anything?
I saw it after I turned my screen brightness all the way down.
I saw...something. It could've been an afterimage though. An incredibly faint small yellow 'bow tie'.
(i hope it wasn't my imagination).
See what?
What’s odd is that I instantly saw it from the thumbnail but it did give me a bit of a headache from looking at it.
I think that's an image tho. I think where you have to really see it is at 5:19
@@mintycbm still there, colour flips but shifts no matter where I look as well with tilting. Freaky.
The thumbnail is just a representation of the effect so everyone sees the thumbnail 🤣
Tried this with the exact stuff you had and i saw it cool
I accidentally discovered this a while ago, but I thought it was just my sun glasses being funky. Had no idea this was a normal thing. Super cool.
Damn wish I had a polarizer for my Nintendo ds so I could see the screen in the sun
the real struggle 😂
man I’m surprised that people play on ds and Wii’s nowadays even though you can only buy pre-owner because they don’t make them anymore but still
@@D_D._ cause there are games ppl want to play on them?
@@D_D._ ... Because most games on the DS/Wii are only playable on the DS/Wii? Because they still have their old console and games and don't have to buy anything? Because they couldn't care less if the console/game is used as long as it plays fine?
@@D_D._ Home brew
I have a blind patch in the center of my right eye from a pulse laser accident 5 years ago and it still exists. I've gotten so use to it I don't notice it normally unless I'm looking at close lines, grids or anything like a window screen or blinds. The blind spot distorts those things and reminds me of an event horizon. I can't say the spot is black though it's nothing like a dark spot, it's just distorted absence.
First I didn't see anything but the afterimage, but after some tries I got it to work. For me the yellow bulbs are horizonal and they actually tilt.
Yup, I can see it on my phone's screen when it's vertical... very cool, thanks. I just realized I've seen this on my monitor before but didn't know what it was.
