The Creepy Science That Claimed Your Eyes Could Solve Your Murder

Описание: In the late 1800s, scientists believed something unsettling about the human eye… that the final image a person saw before death might remain trapped inside the retina.
This strange idea was called optography — the belief that the eyes of the dead could be developed like a photograph to reveal their last moments.
In this video, we explore the disturbing history behind optography, including the experiments of German physiologist Wilhelm Friedrich Kühne, the famous rabbit optograms, human experiments, and the darker theories surrounding executions and murder investigations.
At one point, people even speculated that optography could help solve real crimes, including cases linked to Jack the Ripper and other notorious murders.
But could the human eye really record a final image?
Or was optography simply one of the strangest scientific dead ends in history?
