Although you cannot see the Red Queen in the illustrations you can see her conceptually with the use of the phenomena known as after images. |
Stare blankly at the red rectangle at the right. Stare until you start seeing a glow around the edge (about 30 seconds). Then quickly switch your eye to the dot about one inch to the right. You will see a glowing turquoise sphere. | ![]() |
To see the Red Queen stare at the green images then look quickly at your pointer located in a white area. |
