Why? You think I am playing games? Optical illusions illustrate the limits of our cognitive powers. This is why we need agreement on GR in order to understand reality.
Test it for yourself. Can you make the silhouette spin both ways? I can, it took me about 15 seconds the first time I saw it.
Your first answer and the correcton in your second answer prove the point. Not everyone can do it at all and can only see the dancer spinning one way or the other, but are unable to make it spin both ways. The reason I used this example is to show that we we may look at the same thing we may*interpret *reality* differently.
Give me an example in every day life experences . Look ; we can see things diffferently. Thats why so many brilliant people are on this site; they see things differently. Hence they think that this website is the place to express their thinking. This website has the potential more than it knows. But your example of different means nothing other than a lab. experiments
We see reality as it is . we always have. We just have difficulty grasping that we do. Do we see the full spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum ? No But could we handle all the information given ? No
I can also see both directions. At first I thought the shadow was the counterclockwise spin but it was watching the shadow that allowed me to see the other cycle.
Hmmm....the " woo " is not ; nowadays ; woo any more . The younger people ....are thinking upon ; what was once " woo " . is now . The. " woooo " is out there being talked about ; its no big deal quite frankly ; its the older generation ; conservative generation that has a problem with this " woooo " . Good for them . the young will discover ; in huge strides ; what our conservative ; narrow minded ; arrogant ; egotistical ; generation ; could never hope to discover ; That is what really is out there. Do we see reality as it is ; of course we do ; within our physical natural abilites to do so . And when we can not ; we have technology. river
So we agree, that's a good thing. A fundamental agreement on our reality as much as it is possible for us to determine, even if there is no observer. Should we disagree on what reality is, is that a good thing? We can speculate on that which we cannot observe, but neither can we claim that something is true or real, without any evidence.
That's good. It shows a well developed and flexible mirror neural system. This is a personal speculation but there is some evidence for it.
