Nothin' ain't movin' no where!*



If you look at these circles from a close distance, they appear to be in motion. But nothing is moving here! Pretty neat illusion. Reminds me of a quote some what related to this, in the movie The Matrix. While Neo was waiting to see the Oracle, he notices a little boy bending a spoon just by looking at it. Neo picks up the spoon, and tries to understand what was going on, and the following conversation ensues.

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
* Like this kind of talk with excessive negatives by Moe Szyslak in Simpsons.
