Ebbinghaus illusion
The Ebbinghaus illusion is an optical illusion that occurs when a stimulus appears larger than the size of its surroundings. Its appearance will depend on the size of the stimulus and what the surrounding objects perceive. The size perception is confirmed by the flash-lag effect, which causes the objects to appear similar at a later time. Participants were presented with four sets of identical surround disks at different times relative to their positions on the retina. The flash-lag effect occurred when the size of central disks varied from one side to the other.
FAQ
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions, guilds, and associations represent actors, writers, producers, editors, and other creative professionals. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. This happens all the time.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They usually want you sound better.
The best way to deal with these criticisms is to ignore them. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
What is it that makes this place so interesting? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is isolated, remote, and very hard to visit. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it means "land of ice." Others believe it comes out of Greek mythology.
Antarktis, the Greek name for the island on which Zeus' twin brothers were conceived, was used in ancient Greece. According to legend, one of the twins was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It houses approximately 90% of all Earth's living organisms. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What is Antarctica? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover over 80%. And they're growing larger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
This is not necessarily bad news. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. He was actually arrested twice for drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath’s tale will be a wakeup call to anyone who may believe that they can still have all.
