   Now THIS is real cool!
   Would be interesting to know if anyone sees the same rotation direction.
   For me the lower part is rotating from right to left.

   Awesome !
   I also love those brain&eye-deceivers.
   If you are a fan of such sight tricks, you could also try http://www.moillusions.com – a really cool site for the “watching differently”, with hundreds of great optical illusion examples.
   Have fun : )

   Ooph, my eyes, my eyes! Unicorn02, for me the whole thing is rotating slowly clockwise on a horizontal plane (right to left in the forefront, yes). Thx for the link, negelfar. I love this sort of thing, too.

   Very cool! I see it rotating in the back, from left to right, but the front of the wormhole thingy is going right to left! :D

   Oh my! Don’t believe what you read, don’t believe what you hear, smell, touch or even see!! :(
   Still believe what I decided to do so :)

   How nice, there’s at least a consoling truth in mathematics…

   P.S.: to Unicorn02: from above it turns seemingly in clockwise orientation for me (if seen from above); I guess it has to do with shadows being more or less intense.

   Doesn’t rotate for me at all. Must be my contact lenses. :)

   If I close my eyes, then open them, it rotates slightly in the direction described by Susann and Peter.

   But it only rotates a wee bit then stops, until I close and reopen my eyes again.

   @Rob (Down Under): I think it only works in the northern hemisphere ;)

    Not seeing it, and I usually love these things. I’ll look again after a good night of sleep.

    It clearly turns in the direction indicated by Unicorn02 (resolution 800×600 if this may have an influence but i don’t think so).

    Is that really you Justin ?
    Or is it just another illusion ?
    . . .
    If it is you Justin, I have a gauge as to how much I would like to go out with a woman.
    If she is very desirable, I offer the lives of my distant relatives, in exchange for being partnered with that woman.
    If you could set me up with your ex girlfriend (Selena), I would offer up my whole family.
