Optical illusions can effortlessly trick our brain by subtle changes in colour, light, or surroundings, leaving millions of people around the world in awe.

3/5The expanding black hole optical illusion appears to show the centre of the black hole expanding, but in reality, the image is completely still. The brain is trying to predict what comes next. (Pinterest )
