    The described phenomenon has a practical reason; cartographers used to work with paper maps on desks. Since most people are right handed, desk lamps (and candles, in the older days) are usually positioned on the left side of a table, so that you‘d have the written words illuminated while your hand casts it’s shadow away from the writing. So in order for cartographers to not get confused, the shadows on maps are oriented so that they would line up with any other shadow on the desk!

    1:50 it takes me a little bit of mind effort to perceive "Concave" as actually concave, most of the time I perceive it as convex as well. I wonder if it's bc I'm more used to artificial light sources than sunlight, which would mean my brain will usually perceive the light as coming from whatever direction is opposite to the shadows.

    • @Neonlaserz
      @Neonlaserz 2 года назад +2

My parents didn't understand that though so they thought I had some mental issue. 😅 Later when I understood this concept I tried really hard and did it in real life with a clear cube and basically it looks like the front and back faces are switched which is really weird. Its hard but I know a few people who can do it too.

    I found lots of them only half worked. For example, at 1:48, Convex should have had shadows extending past the bump, casting a longer shadow. Concave, on the other hand, had some oddities, like the inner sides of the lower left corners of 'o' and 'c', that gave it the impression of being convex, but having been spray-painted black or something (odd that I feel this rather than feeling like the light source was on the bottom right).
    I think the Grand Canyon picture worked so well because it has many layers and terrain colours, so it is hard to know where shadows would be, if it were a mountain range.

      I like to see Henry using different animations, but the appearance of his iconic stick figure should still retain. I see that the proportions of his figure here is different (larger head, slightly shorter arms, and textures different from UnPuntoCircular's version). We'll see if he'll retain those details.

In particular, it's in the north when rising or setting in the temperate (non-tropic, non-polar) regions (such as the continental United States as shown in the video) and it's closer to midsummer than midwinter. The sun is always to the south at noon.

    The illusion is very real, but in most of your beginning examples, I got it correct, not because my brain doesn't have the same biases, but because one version of the "mountain or valley" made more sense in context. Like, the Grand Canyon from above makes a lot more sense geographically if it cuts into the earth rather than the other way around. The Mars picture clearly had craters that made the valleys make more sense in context. And the Snake Creek sign makes far more sense that the letters are cut into the wood, not only because it would be easier to make that way, but also because the texture of the wood reveals the location of the light source anyway, just like the Mars craters do.
