@Tom2394587: No what, they've discovered is a little bit about how our brains process the perspective, or the illusion (in the other example. Also What I'd like to know is what this means for those people who still see the illusion but are not fooled by them, this is often the case with illusions with me
huh, interesting to think about... though I see a more subtle slap to current archeologists today, basically a social commentary that says "we don't know what happened a 1000 years ago and are just stupid to think that we do." Now it's true we don't have all the details, and archeology and science can't prove that something didn't happen. What we can do is give a probability of how much something is true based on the evidence available e.g. the number of documents that we find that agree with one another, how much they agree or disagree, how close they were written to the original source... Give historians a brake, as smart people able to put pieces of a puzzle together in a way that fit, unless of course they try to manipulate that evidence to suit their own Ideas, than we should be honoring them instead of making satires about them.
It could be interesting... especially since future generations will have "remains" of sound, video, and digital media as well as written text and real world artifacts, which will make our generation extremely unique. I imagine 1000s of years from now someone unearthing what is essentially a garbage heap, finding a glass disk, decoding the remaining bits and bytes that haven't been worn away, and finding this comment I'm writing now and the researcher thinks to himself "Wow this guy must have been way to tired, up to late, or not having anything better to do than vent his frustration with some sort of media presentation" which would be true ;)
I agree with Adi. It's definitely not real, nor is it funny. First thought I had was, "he's trying to kill himself on video?" and then "What the?" and then "I hope no one believes this and tries it for themselves
