In the Canadian province of New Brunswick, there is a hill where very extraordinary things happen. If you park the car at its foot and put it in neutral, the car will start to roll (without any help) back up the hill, that is, on the rise. True, this amazing fact is not evidence of a phenomenon that many people might think about.
Many people perceive this phenomenon as evidence of the impact of an extremely powerful magnetic field in this area, forcing cars to move back to the hill at speeds above 30 kilometers per hour. However, this phenomenon has nothing in common with magnetism. How, then, does the car move, you ask?
The whole thing - you will not believe until you see the video and the image below - in the optical illusion. For clarity, watch the video created by Kokichi Sugihara from Meiji University, which shows a similar principle of operation of this amazing "phenomenon."
Of course, it's hard not to be surprised at the sight of how wooden balls climb up the slope of the shown structure. Enhances the effect of recognizing that no magnets are used here. So how do the balls roll "up"? And they are rolling "up" due to the optical illusion that deceives your brain. And it becomes quite obvious soon after the improvised structure is turned to the other side looking.
Of course, no one can “turn” the Canadian Magnetic Hill, as it is called here, to get an idea of a different perspective, but the construction in the video above gives a clearer idea of what actually happens to the hill and the human brain in this moment.
People telling that their cars are “rolling up the hill” do not lie and are not mistaken. The simple fact is that they do not see the rotation of the wheels of their cars at this moment. As a result, the optical illusion makes them think that the car is rolling up, although in fact it is rolling down.
