>Are some people really mentally incapable of filtering out the yellow instagram-like tint?

It's not a question of mental aptitude you retard.
Are you mentally incapable of not perceiving this as moving?

This image tricks our senses into appearing as though it were moving. Luckily, we have other methods for determining the nature of the image, namely that it is a png and png's do not move.

In other words, it's really not a big deal if our senses can be tricked. We can still be sure there is an objective reality out there.

I think you don't understand what a quasiparticle is. It does not exist. There can be a bunch of particles interacting in some way that gives the illusion we are only observing one particle with different properties, but this particle (quasiparticle) does not exist the way the initial bunch of particles does.

Spinons, holons and orbitons were names given to these 3 illusory particles that seem to appear when we observe a free electron in very specific conditions in a solid. The electron behaves in a way that makes it look like there are 3 particles with different properties instead of it, but these 3 particles do not exist, just like when you look at the pic I uploaded, the wheels are not really moving.

Spinons, holons and orbitons were the names given to these 3 illusory particles for this very specific example. Photons have nothing to do with this, and OP tells you a photon is made of a spinon, a holon and an orbiton, and you believe him. He's a troll (or an autistic crackpot), and you are too gullible and/or too stupid to realize it.
