The wagon wheel effect is an optical illusion where a rotating wheel appears to spin backward, forward, or even stop when viewed under certain conditions, like in movies or under strobe lights. This happens because the frame rate of the recording or light source captures the wheel's position at discrete intervals. If the wheel moves slightly forward between frames but not enough for a full revolution, it can look like it's spinning backward. | This Is Laikipia

It looks like the car’s wheels are completely still — but it’s actually an optical illusion caused by the wagon-wheel effect. When a spinning object is lit or filmed at certain frame rates (or under certain lighting like street lamps), it can appear to slow down, freeze, or even spin backward! This happens because your eyes (or a camera) sample images at intervals, creating a mismatch between the wheel’s motion and what you perceive. Ever seen this effect in real life? 👀 Follow @thatisnewton ,A
