Apr 6, 2012 - it's not blinking that changes our perception of which way the diamond spins, it's when the for middle edges seem to align. check it out for yourself, look at the middle of the diamond and pay very close attention.

Apr 21, 2012 - That is what everyone sees. The image interpreted as being "under green light" will appear to be red. That was the point of the demonstration.

mattxXx13 Says:

Apr 28, 2012 - this video gives some reason to my thought that ive had since i was like 8. ive talked with other people and others have had the same thought. is it possible that we all see different colors? what one person percieves as red might be percieved as purple to another person. this thought seems very possible to me since i know of no reason why we are suppose to see the same colors and the only way to prove or disprove it is to see through another persons eyes. thumbs up if you think its possible

pairot01 Says:

May 22, 2012 - i think that was the illusion :)

Minimanta2 Says:

May 23, 2012 - Why we are supposed to see the same colors? Because our eyes are made the same way, perhaps. Just like our heart and other organs work the same way.The only factor that would really change that is our brain. Because on one hand our brains work the same way and yet they work so differently.I definitely think it's possible that our brains translate colors differently from person to person.

MixRawr Says:

May 24, 2012 - It is because green is the opposite of red and red is the opposite of green. They are complementary colors. When we stare at a color for a long time, the opposite of that color is what your eyes show :) I think that's what they do when they take an original picture, invert the colors and then use that for people to stare at for 30 seconds and taking it to a black and white version of it, seeing the picture as the original.. does it make sense or no? LOL
