Episode 2 — Magnetic Hill: The Road That Climbs
What if the road in front of you refused to behave?
In this episode, we travel to a place where cars appear to roll uphill, water seems to flow against gravity, and your own senses quietly turn against you. Magnetic Hill is one of the world’s most famous “gravity hills” — a stretch of road that looks like it climbs, but somehow pulls everything upward.
Or does it?
We explore the strange experience of standing on Magnetic Hill, the unsettling feeling of watching objects move the “wrong” way, and why places like this leave such a deep impression on the human mind. Along the way, we uncover the powerful optical illusion behind the phenomenon — and why, even after knowing the explanation, it still doesn’t feel right.
Because when gravity appears to break… it isn’t just physics that gets questioned. It’s perception itself.
