The coloration of this image works with the chromatic aberration of my eyes to produce a convincing 3D illusion onscreen for me.  Anyone else?

Doesn’t work for me, dof.  Either my chromatic aberation isn’t as bad as yours, or my astigmatism is worse LOL

Time and again, believers trot out examples of where science was wrong, as if admitting you’re wrong were a liability.  Some believers just don’t get it:  what counts is what works, not who said it; and what works is never fully understood and is always subject to correction.

I dont get it. I mean I get the quote, but is there something hidden in the drawing besides it just being a cool picture?

Nothing hidden in the drawing that I know of, it’s a peculiar defect of my vision and I wondered how common it is.  It bothers me with the coloration of certain websites and applications.

Zilch: exactly.  Error-correction beats error-denial every time.

No 3D effect for me, but then I have pretty normal vision for a 40 year old.

The image looks pretty 3-D to me:-)

I want this as a bumper sticker.

Oh, and DOF, I get it looks 3D to me as well.

The actual 3D graphic is quite amateurish, but the point made is very good. The graphic can always be swapped out.
