Behold the cruel intersection of neuroscience and crystallography! That grid pattern is an optical illusion that appears to move and shimmer even though it's perfectly static—just like electrons refusing to tell you their exact position AND momentum! The poor green-haired fellow is experiencing the visual cortex equivalent of trying to pin down Schrödinger's cat. His brain is screaming "THESE LINES ARE MOVING!" while his rational mind knows they're fixed in place. It's the same feeling you get trying to visualize a 4D hypercube after your third espresso! The universe is laughing at our pathetic meat-based visual processing systems!
