No wonder that people have superstitions when science furnishes no immediate answer to natural phenomena!

An illusion is a false perception or interpretation of something that is not in line with reality. It can be a visual, auditory, or cognitive phenomenon that tricks the brain into perceiving something that is not actually present.
One common example of an illusion is the "rotating snakes" illusion, where stationary images appear to be moving due to the way our brains process visual information.
Illusions occur when our brain tries to make sense of ambiguous or incomplete information, often filling in the gaps with our own expectations or assumptions.
Yes, there is a difference between an illusion and a hallucination. An illusion is a misinterpretation of real sensory information, while a hallucination is a false perception without any external sensory input.
One of the strangest illusions I've ever seen is the "hollow mask" illusion, where a concave mask appears to be convex when viewed from a certain angle. It's a great example of how our brains can be easily fooled by visual cues.
