When it comes to solving puzzles or optical illusions, it’s not heard to get netizens hooked. Now a simple photo of checkered pattern has left people on Twitter feeling perplexed online.
Laurel Coons, a genomics researcher, shared a photo on Twitter and asked people to “find the curved line”. In the image, what looks like a textured granite block has multiple thin green lines that appear to divide the block into tiny boxes.
While on one glance it seems like there are many curved lines, moment one tries to focus on one and attempts to locate it, they seem to transform into a straight line.
Shared just a few hours ago, the quirky photo managed to pique interest of many online who tried to unearth the mystery behind the optical illusion, while others said the photo made them feel light-headed. And even though many said the intriguing picture gave them a headache, they were still impressed by it and wanted to know the science behind it.
