This headache inducing illusion is simply a static image of a green background with a series of blue dots, however when you look at it the whole thing appears to move and warp in a wave-like fashion.

Nature is pretty good at these illusions. This furry caterpillar is more than it seems...

Just a bunch of black splodges - but look closer and a word will appear.

The squares in this illusion are actually square, though they appear distorted.

The distortions are consistent with how squares in the real world would change their appearance if one were moving forward toward the center point.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
