Even though it seems like the blocks have different colors, they're actually the same. It's an illusion called the "Checker Shadow Illusion." When you cover the middle line with your finger, you remove the context that makes the illusion work. It's a fascinating example of how our brain interprets visual information. This illusion was created by Edward H. Adelson, a vision scientist. Our brains use context to understand colors, and this illusion cleverly exploits that mechanism. So, next time you see something surprising, remember, your brain might be tricking you!

It's not just colors, our entire lives are an illusion of which our brains try to make sense.
