Un matematician de la Oxford demontează un mit vechi de 2.000 de ani despre Partenon. „Iluziile optice” nu ar exista

A mathematician's study challenges the long-held belief that the Parthenon's architects used optical corrections to enhance its appearance. Professor Alain Goriely analyzed the supposed optical illusions and found insufficient evidence to support them. His research suggests that these illusions may not exist or are too minor to be perceived. Goriely attributes the origin of this myth to the Roman architect Vitruvius, whose writings have influenced architectural literature for centuries. He encourages readers to trust their own observations and question established theories.
