Shouldn't your statement read, "In their case at least, it just seems to be unnecessary..." After all, you have already stated that you don't care...
BlockOut, If they could have moved mercury so efficiently as that, they would have had to be able to pump the liquid up out of the depths of the...
Just freeze some water in a paper cup, and then take it out of the freezer, and let it thaw awhile. Even a thin layer of liquid underneath the ice...
How do you move the mercury? It is quite dense.
We had a Teams videoconference today, and after it was over, my status remained available (green). I had the focus on my Outlook screen for a long...
I'm not seeking any google hits or anything like that. If you can make a coherent explanation of the effect, whether it entails an optical illusion...
Sorry, I did not realize that you would find "little point" in analyzing how it might be that the light rays could actually be cancelling out. I...
Yes, I agree. The brighter lighting arrangement makes the shower stream more visible, which makes it even more obvious to see the black disk which...
Well, even optical illusions can be explained. Usually it is a mis-judgement made by the brain. For example, in the checker shadow illusion......
Thank you for trying to replicate the effect. It sounds like you did manage to do it successfully. In one shower, where the lighting is above the...
I thought I had been pretty consistent in saying it was not an optical illusion. I have not gone back to read my posts, but as recently as post #25...
Okay, no problem, so you guys both misunderstood the whole thread. I blame myself for not being more clear. The thread is about wave interference:...
No, it is not an optical illusion.
Yes, just please keep in mind the tips I gave in post #33 which are based on the lighting being outside the shower stall.
There is a shower stream in front of the mirror, and it appears that there is zero light coming from it, but only where the pupils are located. The...
Wow, we were all typing at the same time I guess! I hope you both can see my posts #32 and #33 addressed to each of you.
I tested this in a different bathroom, where there is no light in the shower stall, but there is lighting above the sink as you described. I had to...
Test results are in from the shower where I can easily see this effect. I put on some reading glasses, set the shower on cold, and the effect was...
Solitary confinement comes to mind. That is probably boredom to the point of desperation. It seems like it would be quite challenging for one's...
I'm going to go with an alarmingly strong Dunning-Kruger effect, along with being either young and high, or old and demented.
