      I think it might be because he's wearing a top which is also grey (And a very similar shade too) so you kind of see the comparison with both colours together subconsciously which spoils it a bit, but it definitely works in other situations.

    Kinda interesting how I zoned out at the beginning so I didn't hear him say 3 coins and I was just thinking "why is he swiveling two coins?" Then I rewinded and once I heard him say three coins then I started to see the illusion. Might've been the power of suggestion at play.

    The only ones that didn't 'trick' my brain were the first and last two. (The two coins and squares)
    I genuinely thought they (the white and black squares) looked the same size and thought the grays looked the same shade.
    The elderly person one blew my mind thoygh.
    I felt the coin one was fairly obvious though. I literal subconsciously said to myself: "What the hekk is this person saying; There's only two coins."

      Thanks. Curiosity Show was a national science program featuring Dr Rob Morrison and Dr Deane Hutton. It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries and dubbed in German for Europe) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old rusty cans) so that people could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for TV programs for young people. Rob and Deane are steadily uploading segments at ua-cam.com/users/curiosityshow Why not subscribe?

    @EsEhKa 2 роки тому

    One remarkable thing with the coins in the beginning is that he tells us there were three coins and we have no reason to distrust this statement. So our brains are tending to not question this statement and create the three coins in our mind from the optical information, regardless if they are indeed three coins or not.

    Rather than grey color, I think yellow works better in contrast with black & white background. Just like human teeth. When you bite white towel/napkin, your teeth look thicker yellow. When you bite black towel, they look brighter.

    Even more amazing is the fact that light and colors don’t actually exist. Light is electromagnetic energy, invisible just like radio waves are electromagnetic energy and invisible. When electromagnetic energy passes through the lens of the eye, it’s fractured into photons, which travel through the ocular fluid called aqueous humor, to the back of the eye and hit photoreactive molecules in the retina called rods and cones. The photons are converted into electrochemical impulses that travel through optical nerves. No light or colors are traveling through the optical nerves; If you were to cut open an optic nerve, there would be no light in it, just a chain reaction of electrochemical signals traveling from one neuron to another through optic fibers. (Many people believe that light travels through the optic nerve like light traveling through an optical cable, and is projected in the brain like a movie screen; but that is wrong and is not what is happening.) The brain takes these electrochemical impulses and invents/creates the sensation of vision; in other words, the brain generates a three-dimensional hallucination from these electrochemical impulses to simulate a mental map of what the outside world looks like. The brain determines brightness, color, depth, and prospective from the varying intensities of the electrochemical impulses generated by different intensity photons hitting the photoreceptive molecules in the retina. The sensation of vision is actually a neural hallucination, completely fabricated by the brain, just like a dream is a neural hallucination. Light and colors don’t actually exist. We live in a lightless/colorless (black) universe filled with invisible electromagnetic energy that our brain uses to generate/hallucinate the sensations of light and colors (vision) to navigate the world at large. The sensations of vision are a very complex process, but essentially, what I have described is correct…
