When projecting a movie, presentation or whatever onto a canvas, anything you see as black (text, etc) is just the pure plain white without light shining on it.
Turn the projector off and the parts that looked black a second ago now look chalk white with no changes done to that part.
If you split the connection between the left and right brain hemispheres as has been done to some people suffering from seizures you can then by using clever methods interview each side separate from the other and discover that they do not agree about most things.
What's ever more interesting is that you can give tasks to one side and let the other side observe you do these tasks and when questioned it will come up with lies about why it did this despite this not being the actual reason.
Split brain experiments if you want to google more info.
In 1990 British Airways 5390 suffered an explosive decompression when a cockpit window blew out due to improper maintenance. The force of the decompression partially pulled the captain out the window pinning him to the fuselage while his feet were caught on the control column. Thanks to the efforts of the first officer and flight attendants the plane was able to land safely around twenty minutes later. There were no fatalities.

The second part is Solar Panels are basically just LEDs wired backwards.
(In both cases there's a lot of design work around them to make them better at one task than the other, but the technology is still the same)

Even in neutral the motor still spins when the wheels are turned, it just doesn't output any power to the wheels.
