Einstein - Monroe Hybrid Image
March 30, 2007 by Vurdlak
Albert Einstein was a big fan of Marylin Monroe, a very famous American actress and idol. Their connection was probably stronger than we assumed. I have an evidence photo to show you! They used Einstein's genius combined with Monroe's beauty to create a unique optical illusion. They couldn't be seen together in one place (probably because of Albert's wife, Elsa), but still eagerly wanted a photo of themselves. So Albert used 0.1% of his brain capacity, and thought of a solution. He created a hybrid image of himself and Marylin, where you can see both of them in it, but only one at the time. As you see, if you position yourself close to the screen you will see Einstein's happy face. Now move away few meters, and you'll see Marylin! Surprise, yes Albert vanished, but only for so long until you come near the photo again. I hope you are aware that the story I wrote few lines above, is just fiction, and only crazy idea I got in my head. However, the illusion is 100% real. By the way, I just watched Leonida's 300 in theater with my gf. You really should go and see it, it was amazing!

ooo creepy btw what contrys do some of u people live in? USA me
THAT IS REALLY COOL!! That perv hehe
u have to go reaaaally far away to see monroe...
Wow! Really cool!
i live in darfur
actually i live in washington
i'm from Los Angeles, California and this picture is really trippy.
wow man.. if you lean back in your chair and see marilyn then lean forward and see einstein it gets pretty trippy. just go back and forth.
i do hope whoever sent you that gave a source as this illusion was created especially for this weeks edition of NewScientist magazine. there is a whole article about how our brains work these illusions out and make sense of them...
That is truly freaky ... the image just shot out when I was 3-4 metres away from the computer.
Very cool. I found if I blured my vision I could see it easier.
And I agree 300 is a damn good movie.
This picture is amazing!
@juder dice: I live in Italy :)
That picture was in newscientist magazine about 2 days ago... either a weird coincidence or you got it from there :)
not true that einstein made this
Koolio!!
Neat. My guess is that the image is tailored so that different aspects of the grey shows up at different focal lengths - the greys used for Einstein's image are most bright at close focal lenths, whereas Marilyn's greys are more visible at medium-distance focal lengths.
You can make out Marilyn's smudges close up, but they are unclear until you get further away.
So, tailor the colours, overlay the photos carefully, and you've got this nice illusion.
Best one yet.
That was crazy kool! Kinda freaky at the same time.
you kinda have to squint ur eyes to see the girl
so ya its pretty sweet man
i like it that was good
great job
yo juder dice, USA!!!!!
Thats tricky
now that is funny,,,, when I look at the picture, I see Albert Einstein,,, and when I take of my glasses, I see marilyn Monroe...
Squint your eyes and then you'll see Monroe.
that is weird
I like the pic on which Einstein stick out his tongue :)
Wow. Just awesome. I'll have to try to find that New Scientist article.
Why is it always Einstein?
I had to go about 15 feet away from my computer to even kind of see Monroe. Albert is as clear as day, with some funny blurry smudges around him.
holy!!!now that ive looked at it for five min, albert looks like a he_she
