I Just Can Not Believe My Eyes!

no matter how many times I try,

OK lets start at the beginning, take a good look at the above picture, nothing to much out of place, but what if I told you all three cars are exactly the same size, would you believe me? hopefully you said yes, all of the cars are in fact exactly the same size, take a ruler and measure them if you like,


you are looking at a great example of the Ponzo Illusion, which was first demonstrated by Italian psychologist Mario Ponzo in 1911, Ponzo suggested that the way we judge an object's size is highly dependent on its background, but this is the thing that makes the Ponzo illusion so neat, I know the three cars are exactly the same size but my brain simply refuses to see it that way.
