Watch: These rotating cubes are definitely moving — except they're actually not

2022-01-03 00:00:00

An optical illusion created by Twitter user @jagarikin shows two cubes (above) that seem to take orders from the arrows inside of them. When the arrows point in opposite directions, the cubes move away from each other. When the arrows curve and spin, the cubes spin as well. But in reality, it's just an optical illusion — these tricky cubes are actually completely still.

If you don't believe me, stare at just one corner of a cube, blocking the rest of the picture with your hand. Yes, it's flashing, but it's not moving.
