CAYour eyes insist the two batteries are different sizes — but they are exactly the same. The only thing that changes is the context around them. The perspective lines and surrounding grid create the illusion of depth, making one battery appear farther away. When your brain detects distance cues, it automatically scales the object up to “fit” that distance. It isn’t measuring the batteries. It’s estimating them based on spatial context.
Vision is not a direct recording of reality. Your eyes collect raw light, but your brain interprets it using assumptions about depth, space, and prior experience. When something appears farther away, your brain resizes it in your perception — even when the physical size is identical. You’re not seeing objective truth. You’re seeing your brain’s best prediction.
