What are those colors you see when you rub your eyes? - Paul CJ Taylor (2024x83)

Data de estreia: Out 17, 2024

In the 1600s, Isaac Newton conducted a series of experiments to better understand the lights and colors that sometimes appear when your eyes are closed. If you’ve ever sat around an evening campfire or unintentionally glanced at the Sun, you may have noticed illuminated patterns briefly dance along your vision. So how do these visual illusions form? Paul Taylor explores the science of afterimages. Lesson by Paul Taylor, directed by Sofia Pashaei.
