The world is not real. We make it up!
Adelson’s Shadow Illusion shows just how much our brains are making up.
Squares A and B are in fact exactly the same shades of grey. But because our brain expects them to be a checker board we do not see them as they are. Our brain makes it up.
Even when we are shown the reality the illusion still works.
Quantum Artistry
Quantum artistry
Of random pleasure
Revealing wonders
Of infinite treasure.
Cosmic vagaries,
Unfathomable wonder,
Creating mysteries
For us to plunder.
Molecular majesty
Biochemical delight,
Combining catalysts
Creating sight.
Atomic awareness
In guise of life
On a single planet
Consciousness is rife.

We do not live in the world we think we live in. The stability is an illusion.
We live in a quantum universe where everything is stranger than we can imagine.
In this quantum universe atoms combine, molecules merge and life is conceived.
Molecules learn to be aware, to see, hear and think.
We are those molecules.
