I Do Suppose We're Making Up Quite A Bit.

Yeah. So, today i as told that part of our eye is..not missing, but just simply not there. Like a kind of hole.

For the part of vision that is not there, your brain makes up the rest, from things it is familiar with.

Have you ever had the feeling something was just lurking around the corner of your eye, and you look, expecting some sort of being to be there, but instead there's...nothing there, so you carry on, feeling slightly on edge and a bit silly?

If so that's the part your eye has made up.


Make a sort of ring shape with each hand, and place it about 5cm ish from you face. What you can see inside those rings, are what you can actually see. The rest is...made up i suppose. 

It's kinda weird really.


And, I know this will sound weird, but I've been searching around, and I've managed to find a way (supposedly) which allows you to make up ALL of your vision:

Basically cut a ping-pong ball in two, and tape the semi-spheres over your eyes. If you leave them there for a while, your brain will get confused as to why it is seeing, yet not seeing anything,and in turn you'll begin to see what ever you want to see.

So you're basically hallucinating, but you can choose what to see?


Awesome. Let's go to a happy place.


Thing One.
