      Hi ands49hmm,

      One of the facts that I like a lot: we can’t see the concave face! Can you imagine? Funny 😀 It’s all because our brain can’t process the view of a concave face, because it doesn’t know it. Concept like that doesn’t exist so our brain refuses to see it. Of course if you’ll take a mask and turn it around you can see the concavity. But when you are in a distance or (especially) watching some video it’s impossible. Where else our brain is lying us and actually showing something that doesn’t exist? Crazy 😀 Check a video about a mask and concave face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbKw0_v2clo You can watch it as many times as you like, but it’s impossible to see the hollow mask.

      Everything is a bit radioactive!

      I use that fact to help figure out how old the rocks are that I study (a bit of a longer story!)
