1/3 A-plus Moiré effect, on the stairwell side-thingies (which have teeny ~1cm holes); the illusion makes it seem like there are much larger holes. The Internet defines the Moiré effect thus: (cont’d) #physics #science

Depends upon how you look at it. Kind of a quantum affect. Huh?

2/3 “The Moiré effect [occurs] whenever a repetitive structure, such as a mesh, is overlaid with another such structure. The two structures need not be identical. There is evidence that the effect was noted in ancient times.”

4/3 Or was it, haha. Correction: “moiré” does not require a capital. It’s just a French word for a type of textile.
