what a fountain really looks like





















It is interesting how we assume that we can trust our senses. But this picture does not lie. In the same way that a movie is a collection of still frames, a water fountain squirts water that form little blobs, due to surface tension. It is a defect in our brain that gives it the appearance of a constant stream.
How many other things are different from what we percieve?
