A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon, which is an interaction of light with ice crystals. When the temperature drops and these crystals position themselves horizontally as they fall through the air, they act as “vessels” for light, shooting it upwards. These pictures were taken by Timothy Joseph Elzinga. (Source)

Flashed Face Distortion Effect

Like many interesting scientific discoveries, this one was an accident. Sean Murphy, an undergraduate student, was working alone in the lab on a set of faces for one of his experiments. He aligned a set of faces at the eyes and started to skim through them. After a few seconds, he noticed that some of the faces began to appear highly deformed and grotesque. He looked at the especially ugly faces individually, but each of them appeared normal or even attractive. He called it the “Flashed Face Distortion Effect”.

Here is a masterpost of interesting tricks you can play on your mind like this one. Here’s my masterpost of all things related to the human mind and brain.

The katzenklavier (“cat piano”) was a musical instrument made out of cats. Designed by 17th-century German scholar Athanasius Kircher, it consisted of a row of caged cats with different voice pitches, who could be “played” by a keyboardist driving nails into their tails.

It’s ok to cry when an onion dies. Also think about all those little creatures eating the onion. Like rabbits, turkeys.. If you cut them, and eat them, you are not cruel, you just bring justice to the onions.
