Possibly bot accounts being made to get karma so they can spam elsewhere maybe?

Reply to How close does one need to bring two coloured lights together to perceive a compound colour effect? by romxza

The simple answer is it depends how for you are from the source. If you look at big event screens the size of the led pixels and the distance between them is huge by comparison to a mobile phone.

This is probably measurable and more to do with biology and neurology of light perception than the physics. Although arguably everything is physics at some point.

Reply to comment by _Atheius_ in New research shows why we hear “lemon” and not “melon” in processing incoming sounds: our brains “time-stamp” the order of incoming sounds, allowing us to correctly process the words that we hear by giuliomagnifico

No that's the beauty of good science. We test stuff that seems obvious and intuitive. Sometimes we get surprised by the results. This is particularly true for how thought or the brain works.

How we think and perceive our brains work is often vastly different than how it does in reality.

Daniel dennet is a good source for some of these brain illusions if you will.
