  1. this is crazy man
    don’t you ever wonder what percent of what we percieve is really there and what percent of it is just what our minds create to äccept¨ reality?

    Totally dude.. now pass the bong! ;)

  3. The whole point of this “illusion,” if it can be called that, is that you can see the diamonds, but they also create squares, basically with black X’s going through their centers. I don’t think this is an illusion, because if you look closely, you can see that the part right after the white center of the diamonds is colored two different colors, creating the feeling that there are both squares and diamonds.

    Also, notice the ends of the diamonds do not connect, but rather pass above each other, adding to the appearance of squares.

    Not much of an illusion.

  4. what your mind sees is the squares but there dont really exist. its a giant metaphor for the US government (takes hit of bong)

  5. Okay look close there are lines that seem to be going through the center of all the diemonds, but threre really is not they are just lind up perfectly

  6. At first glance it may look like there are lines but looking closer you can see that different colors match up to create the illusion of the lines. If the same colors aligned with each other, the illusion wouldn’t exist.

    btw: cool illusion – where can i get that for the floor in my bathroom? ;)

  8. The miss-matching of shapes is supposed to make you see lines going through the picture, like a grid you use in art. The illusion is that they’re not really there. Does that help at all?

  9. hey, if you cross your eyes at them them so that the first collumn meets up with the third collumn it looks like some of them are 3-d!!!!!

  10. usually in these kinds of illusions I see what it is that I’m not supposed to. I don’t with this one though. =( *sigh*

  11. Hey, first post of 2010 here. Id just like to say this pic is very interesting. I mean, doesnt it make u want to find out how and why this happens to us? How we percieve things that arent there. So mind boggling. And id like to remind u guys tomake ur own avatars for ur icons to the right. just look up avatar in website search and make ur own. We can identify u when ever u comment :)

  12. if i look at the diamonds with my pheriphical vision ( did i spell pheriphical right? or how is it spelled? ) then i dont see the lines ;) or if i focus on a certain diamond ITS line goes away ;)
