The Tower of Babel

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children builded. 67 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV)

Optical Illusions Translated

Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet Illusion

Compara los 2 objetos inmóviles: Dos discos oscuros centrados en dos discos ligeros grises. Al mover el ratón, arrastras una "mascara", que puede cubrir parte de los discos. ¡Cuándo ajustes de modo que el centro desenmascarado sólo muestre las manchas oscuras, notaras que el disco derecho central tiene la misma luminosidad que el externo que le rodea!

(Francisco Javier Arias Fernández)


Scintillating Grid

Si tu miras la imagen, notarás la aparición
y desaparición de puntos negros sobre las esquinas.

(Isidro Fuentes Muñoz)


Pyramid Illusion

En la imagen aparecen cuadrados sobrepuestos que se van haciendo más pequeños, y a medida que se hacen mas pequeños, sale una X que en la realidad no existe, es imaginaria, solamente sale porque es el efecto que causan todos los cuadros juntos.

Silhouette Illusion

En la imagen, aparece una bailarin a girando,mentalmente tienes que concentrarte y hacer girar la figura en la direccion opuestao. Es posiible, pero dificil.

Blur & picture content

Esto no es una ilusión óptica propia, es más un efecto físico: con un filtro borroso, esa versión carece de detalles, vemos una calavera cuando la imagen está borrosa y cuando es nítida, vemos una mujer reflejada en un espejo.

(Christian Cruz)
