Cloaking or obscuring is gradually becoming a reality. This has been achieved by the guys over at Rochester University by bending light via standard optical lenses. The video below shows how they did it.

Building on Tilt - Really

5/13/2014

1 Comment

 
We have posted a number of pictures over the years showing buildings on tilt that aren't really on tilt, just illusions. So it's nice to actually show you a building that is really on tilt. This one is in South Korea and was still under construction when it began to collapse sideways on Monday morning.

These Four Images Are Just One Single Picture

12/24/2013

On first glance, you probably thought these images were four different pictures stitched together with Pic Stitch for Instagram or something. I don't blame you, it looks like a perfect windowpane. But what's crazy is if you look closer, these four images are actually just one single photograph. What!

Here's a look of the set, which purposely trips your mind out, from another angle. It reveals that everything in the image above is in the same shot: Via gizmodo

Is this ring of dots turning clockwise or anti-clockwise. well actually its not doing either. Each individual dots is circulating anti-clockwise giving the impression that the out side is going in the opposite direction inside.

According to legend, Robert Chang painted a picture of a Japanese girl called the Melancholic Princess. He then posted it on the Internet and committed suicide.

Some people who saw the picture, declared that, if you look at it for 5 minutes, then the picture starts to move, or age, or smile, or move – everyone saw something different.


Here are just a few of the comments we got when we showed this picture on our facebook page.
