QUANTUM SNARK

Refraction is why pools look shallower—water is a liar with physics backing.

✗ FAKE
Refraction bends light as it passes from water to air, making pools appear shallower than they are. The effect is real physics, though water is not lying, and the effect is a predictable optical property.
