Am I alone in not understanding this black hole one... it's a sequence of three obviously distinct still images in which the black center is larger than the previous image.
Meanwhile, each image on its own is offering no kind of perceptive illusion to me...

If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.
