Marilyn Monroe Or Albert Einstein? Optical Illusion Can Tell If You Need Glasses Or Not

...Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed the hybrid image called "Marilyn Einstein," which, if you have clear vision, will look like the Hollywood bombshell from afar but will shift into an image of the revered physicist when it gets up close. People who have vision problems may not be able to see a picture of Einstein anywhere....

Try to walk away from your screen about 15 feet away and look.

OK... I can barely see her if I do that... I think the technical term is "kinda sorta". Up close I couldn't see her at all.

[Larry Lucido]

It’s all relative.

Well, old Al *was* a pretty sharp guy, and I doubt you’d find many people who wouldn’t agree that Marilyn was more about curves than edges.

I never realized Albert was so hot

I never realized Marilyn looked so intelligent.

[Yaelle]

I don’t see Marilyn at all. If I blur my eyes, I see the shape of Marilyn’s hairstyle, but Einstein’s face.

>>I do not see Marylyn at all... only Albert<<

I wear glasses, and without them I see Monroe far away and Albert up-close.

Test = busted.

[CalTexan]

It’s an Optical Delusion...

[al_c]

I have to step far away and squint to see anything resembling Monroe.

To relieve everyone's frustration here is the real Marilyn while shooting Niagara. You can see the falls a bit in the background. :)

[NautiNurse]

Very cool!

[Dr. Sivana]

Without my glasses, I see Marilyn with a moustache.

Back up a bit more.

I couldn’t see Marilyn at all when I looked at the large pic posted here. When I followed the link and tried with the smaller pic, I could see Marilyn from about 5 feet away.

OK, I’m going out into the driveway. LOL

When I take off my glasses I see my Jewish Grandmother
