Science LOVES questions: just like kids do.

Optical Illusions*

Just so you know, all you kids out there who have trouble spelling words:

I keep accidentally typing: "illustion" instead of "illusion" - and having to go back and correct it.

So we ALL make mistakes! I just wanted you to know.

Even I can hardly believe this one, and I built this for you myself. (I didn't invent the illusion, though.)

The eye is completely fooled by what's around it - it's called "Contrast Contrast."
